I actually was sorrowfully disappointed with that episode for 2 reasons. 1- The fact they didn't bother showing us what was in Robin's suitcase was a MAJOR let down. I'm sorry but it seemed a waste to derive an episode around that suitcase's innards.

And 2- The villain wacky racers were apparently mute since they didn't bother to get ANY of the voice actors back to play them. I can kind of understand why they did it here but not to bring ANY of them back for the big villain team up in "Calling all Titans" and "Titans Together"? it looked really bad.

Like all the bad guys lost their voices or something. That's one thing that bothered me with Teen Titans. The show went cheap ass on voice actors and ended up Hayden Welch and Tara Strong for characters they didn't even play sometimes and I don't see how hard it could be to get a few of the actors.

Especially considering this was the "last hurrah" for the Titans, I expected them to put some kind of effort into making a good finale by getting some voice actors other then being cheap and reusing the old ones. I mean come on, Jinx and Gizmo's ORIGINAL VA Lauren Tom gets bumped off for Strong?

I like Tara Strong and all but Lauren Tom started voicing those two and to be so cheap as to not even get Tom back (who is no stranger to voice acting considering her Futurama role of Amy Wong), it just made me mad. Sorry if I got into a rant there.

EDIT

Almost forgot, I too loved the Titans toon incarnation of the Judas storyline except for one problem. Terra had a certain line that for me, almost killed the whole "mood" of this serious storyline. She told Beast Boy to "destroy me" instead of "kill me". Sorry but politically correct or not....that just sounds stupid.
