FAN RECAP

Fan Episode Reviews (10)

Cyborg fights Brother Blood all over again and this time, he wins for good.

7.9

By herculehastings, Jun 19, 2007

The conclusion to a chaotic Season 3. I believe this is the best season so far. Season 1 was too detached and Season 2 too emotional, but Season 3 has had the right share of adventure, comedy and drama. This ends in a light note and Cyborg uses his robo-human combo to confuse the poor dear Brother Blood. It seems no matter what plan BB devises to destroy Cyborg, the latter just has some way to fight it back. Acceptable storyline, maybe not too dramatic and not quite a favourite if you go for action, astomishments and deep revelations. I believe Slade makes a better villain though.moreless

This episode was much better than Part 1. This had it all: adventure, action and suspense. What I thought was creepy was what Brother Blood did to himself. He couldn't accept the fact that someone could resist his powers. We also see a little bit of development for Cyborg. He finally realizes that he is a man, even though he is part robot. I was mappy that Cyborg joined the team again and that Bumblebee was leader of Titans East. The only bad thing about this episode was the way Cyborg defeated Brother Blood. He defeated him by his "spirit," the power inside of him. I understand that, but I think the writers should have shown Cyborg glowing and tah the repaired himself. Overall, the episode was excellent, but the final battle was lacking something.moreless

The ending of the battle with Brother Blood!

9.0

By Ziomster, Sep 20, 2006

PLOT IN SHORT: the other Titans comes to aid Cyborg as they find out something has gone wrong. But having a team of other Titans against them, can they hope to defeat Blood? Even more, when Blood now has his "new look"?

This episode is a nice one. Not much comedy in it, but there's a lot of action (Titan vs. Titan is always something) and much dept as Cyborg and Blood have their final showdown.

In the end Titans East are finally formed and will take the duties of heroes at the Eastern Coast of the country. You can never have enough hero teams, can you? :Dmoreless

Overcriticized...

8.9

By Xtroid, Aug 08, 2006

While not excellent, its neither bad as people actually state it is.

The plot is just fine, it's been revealed that Titans East are being mind controlled by the psychic Brother Blood who has now constructed himself with Cyborg's technology and is planning on doing the same with the Titans East and the rest of his future students in order to gain complete mind control over them, but he's still furious that Cyborg has the will to resist his mind control and wants to discover how. Cyborg among with the other Titans must now stop the insane control freak.

The ending althought I have to admit, was just lousy. "It's his spirit that he can't break" I'm sorry David (Slack) but this really didn't make enough sense to follow along. The most exact and important element in any sort of story is the ending. Marvin Wolfman should have finished this off by himself.

Brother Blood makes an excellent Archenemy for Cyborg, not only does his obsession with controlling creepy, but too interesting and original which keeps him away from being just another villain out to wreck the city.moreless

By TelyFanatic, May 10, 2006

It was the best episode of the Brother Blood saga yet. New titans v.s. the old. There were many very well graphiced fight scenes. Brother Blood v.s. Cyborg. Aqualad v.s. Cyborg. And my personal favorite, The Teen Titans v.s. The Titans East. When it all came down to it, the Titans East became victorious over the Teen Titans. This is because and only because, Aqualad calls out for his "headmaster"(Brother Blood) who sends him and the other Titans East some mechanized help, a.k.a. an army of his evil Cyborgs. After victory over the Teen Titans, what happens to them, you'll find out when you see the show.moreless

Trivia, Notes, Quotes and Allusions

FILTER BY TYPE

TRIVIA (13)
ADD TRIVIA
- Why couldn't Raven use her powers to counterattack Brother Blood when he had all the Titans telekinetically raised in the air?
  EDIT SHARE
- Why didn't Brother Blood reconvert himself into a human after he was beaten? He would have regained his physical form and perhaps enough time to escape.
  EDIT SHARE
- Contrary to what Brother Blood says to Cyborg, Socrates was not the one who said "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em."
  EDIT SHARE
- Cyborg claims his human spirit is the reason he resisted Brother Blood. But if that is the case, shouldn't the others have been even more resistant, being entirely human?
  EDIT SHARE
- When Raven is on her back, then flips back up while fighting Speedy, you can see she puts her hands on her cloak to push off the ground, which would have choked her and/or kept her stuck on the ground (her hands were pretty close to her head).
  EDIT SHARE
- Starfire had white around her eyes during some, if not all of the episode.
  EDIT SHARE
- In "Titans East (1)," Cyborg yawns and his red eye closes. However, when Cyborg is captured by Brother Blood and is strapped to the "T" board, his regular eye is closed, but his red eye stays open.
  EDIT SHARE
- Before Brother Blood attempts to convert the Titans East to cyborgs, he mentions that some of them will not survive the procedure. If he survived the experiment, however, wouldn't the others have survived as well? And if Professor Chang performed the experiment sucessfully, why wouldn't he do it to the Titans East as well, since Brother Blood isn't nearly as capable as Chang is in this matter?
  EDIT SHARE
- Brother Blood broke off Cyborg's entire right arm, which had flesh on it.
  EDIT SHARE
- After Brother Blood is turned half-machine, his right eye turns red.
  EDIT SHARE
- When Prof. Chang brings in the parts to fix up Titans East, he then leaves. Wasn't he the one that did the first operation?
  EDIT SHARE
- When Robin and the mind-controlled Speedy are fighting and Speedy fires arrows at Robin, some remain anchored into the ground when they connect, but when some hit the ground, they disappear completely.
  EDIT SHARE
- Speedy seems to be able to store a limitless supply of arrows in his quiver; he must have shot a hundred of them during the fight scene with the Titans without running out. There is no way he could have carried so many.

  (Robin shakes his head, prompting a resigned sigh from Beast Boy; BB then slumps even farther back onto the couch)
  Beast Boy: Dude.
  Starfire: Then who will shout the "boo-yah" when we are victorious in battle?
  Raven: Who's gonna laugh when I make fun of Beast Boy?
  Beast Boy: Yeah! And who's gonna beat me at video games and fall for my practical jokes and shoot spitballs at the back of my head and watch dumb movies with me and barf when I feed him tofu?
  Robin: This isn't about us.
  Beast Boy: Huh?
  Robin: It's a good opportunity. We have to let him go -- no matter how much we're going to miss him.
  Starfire: But, Robin, if we are not there, who will make sure that he is... safe?
  Robin: Cyborg's old enough to take care of himself.
  EDIT SHARE
- Brother Blood: I think it was Socrates who said, "If you can't beat him, join him."

- Starfire: (After zapping Bumblebee) I am hopeful that when this is over we can still be friends.

  Aqualad: I don't care.
  EDIT SHARE
- Cyborg: Guys, don't you get it? He's controlling you. You'll be criminals just like him!
  Brother Blood: But you see, Cyborg, I don't want them to be like me. I want them to be like you! (Pulls hood back to reveal his face, which has been made similar to Cyborg's)
  EDIT SHARE
- Aqualad: (To Cyborg) The headmaster is teaching us. And soon, he will be teaching you.
  EDIT SHARE
- Cyborg: What have you done to yourself?
  Brother Blood: Now, Cyborg, don't tell me you are disgusted by the very technology that keeps you alive. Or are you just jealous that it looks better on me?
  Cyborg: You look like a pyschopath.

NOTES (19)
ADD NOTES
- This is Brother Blood's last appearance in the series.
  EDIT SHARE
- YTV airdate: April 21, 2005.
  EDIT SHARE
- Bumblebee apparently has some sort of resistance to Brother Blood's mind control, as she manages to break it for very short moments throughout the episode.
  EDIT SHARE
- This is the second time Cyborg and Robin have a fight leading Cyborg to quit. The first time this happened was in the episode, "Divide and Conquer."
  EDIT SHARE
- Much like how Slade only says the names of apprentices (Robin & Terra), Cyborg is the only Titan that Brother Blood calls by name.
  EDIT SHARE
- Brother Blood converts himself into a half-human half-machine robot, just like Cyborg, only with red-colored parts rather than blue.
  EDIT SHARE
- Cyborg episode.
  EDIT SHARE
- Professor Chang from "X" returns, and he is the one who converts Brother Blood.
  EDIT SHARE
- Cyborg is the only member of the Teen Titans who fights Brother Blood.
  EDIT SHARE
- Robin states that this is Cyborg's mission and his villian, which Cyborg himself stated in "Wavelength."
  EDIT SHARE
- Brother Blood manages to slash off each of Cyborg's limbs during their final battle, leaving him only a head and torso. He manages to get them back via his strong spirit, using the remnants of the Cyborg-bots Blood created earlier using his blueprints.

ALLUSIONS (3)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Cyborg: Limbs
  When Cyborg loses his limbs, that also happens to Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. The only difference is that Anakin loses 3 of his limbs, when Cyborg loses all of them.
  EDIT SHARE
- T-Car: Time Machine
  When the T-Car begins to hover over the water, the wheels flip to their horizontal angle, just like when the Time Machine's, in Back to the Future: Part II and Back to the Future: Part III, wheels flip in their horizontal angle to take flight.
  EDIT SHARE
- Speedy: Weapon
  The tip of an arrow that Speedy shoots at Cyborg turns into a boxing glove, which is like the Boxing Glove arrows that the Green Arrow had.
