Featured review
Blackfire focuses on character and plot development, and suffers from bad pacing
Millicent Shelton directs the follow-up to what I think was the best episode of the season, it showed how big a threat Red Hood really are and how he killed Hank Hall / Hawk in such a personal way. It's hard to beat that episode and "Blackfire" never reaches that brilliance but the writers and director does a great job with building up to events and slowing things down for character development and world building, the sister to Titans member Starfire makes her anticipated appearance as the villain Blackfire who haven't been seen since the cameo in the season 2 finale.
Cinematography was amazing in this episode and how they shot the fight sequence at night time with the lightning and effects, just brilliant. The fight sequence was interesting in the way their abilities and skills was shown, I think the stunt coordinators and people who are working on the show always does a good job with that.
The episode is dialogue heavy and slow paced from start to finish, but the episode answers a lot of questions. I found the dialogue between Dick Grayson and Jonathan Crane to be the strongest, the dialogue felt a bit lackluster for the other characters in this episode except for Gar Logan and the short appearance of Superboy. But the story of this episode was split up to two sections, Dick Grayson and Jonathan Crane, the other being Starfire and Gar Logan finding out the meaning of her visions. The Grayson storyline was the best, though some odd decisions in terms of storytelling I found it interesting and good either way. Regarding the Starfire storyline of this episode, I anticipated something grander but it was alright yet I'm still interested to see what the writers have in store for her and Blackfire, but honestly it was badly paced and scenes could have been trimmed down in favor of more Conner and see what he's going through. Brenton Thwaites and Vincent Kartheiser were great in this episode, delivering amazing performances.
I'm fairly certain that Teagan Croft will return to the show as Rachel Roth, it have been four episodes now and I think the show needs her. I also want Conner to have some bigger meaning in the upcoming episodes, he took a back seat in this episode because of a realistic reason but I want more of him. To be honest, the show haven't felt like a true Titans show since the second season, having Conor Leslie return as Donna Troy / Wonder Girl would fix that and I'm certain her resurrection will happen. Non the less, I have found this season to be the best one yet, in terms of quality in writing and acting. It just feels like a Nightwing show than a Titans show. But I'm certain that will change once Rachel Roth returns.
