So, yeah. Valentine’s Day was yesterday. IMO, really fun holiday. And Teen Titans Go! also got in on the action with a romance-themed episode. Was it good?

In “Be Mine“, Terra (Ashley Johnson), angered at the fact that Raven defeated her AND trapped her in another dimension back in “Terra-ized“, jumps at the chance to get her revenge when the oblivious Beast Boy (Greg Cipes) frees her. With a Valentine’s Dance forthcoming, sparks will fly between Terra, Beast Boy, and Raven (Tara Strong).

Back in December, you might remember I didn’t care for the Christmas episode. It wasn’t bad at all, but not really funny either. So, I’m glad to say, I liked this one. It was a pretty cheery episode.

One thing that impressed me was the sense of continuity. It directly continued from the “Terra-ized” segment, which is a first for this show. And while it can still be annoying how dense BB is, it does lead to some pretty amusing scenes.

The dialogue is at its best here (no incessant repeating like in “Waffles“), and Raven gets to do some pretty cool things (I love how she casually defeats Terra at the end). The very ending will please fan-shippers. Or make them cry. It depends.

On the negative side, we get a very pointless sub-plot in the form of Cyborg (Khary Payton) having a crush on Jynx. It doesn’t go anywhere. Robin (Scott Menville) and Starfire (Hynden Walch) have a cute little scene, though.

So, yeah, I liked it. It was a pleasant episode. And apparently, we might be getting another follow up soon. Cool.

Oh, and did Starfire try to feed Robin a beating heart? Whoa.

    I got to say i really enjoyed Be Mine I like the continuity in the episode, how every character got enough time on screen. And to how this show make Beast Boy and Raven the main romantic focus, they both really shine here in this episode. As a fan to these characters the scene where they’re seeing Terra’s true color and Beast Boy getting emotional, it reminds me how these character were in the original series to here in this particular scene they still write these character similar from before; when there aren’t bickering they show a relationship that’s understanding, comforting, and honest which i think is how they are going to build them. And even though the episode ended on a sad note for Raven and her fans, I like that they didn’t finish off with something funny or random but emotional which make this episode one of my favorites of the series.
