Gar in the spotlight
ossie8520 April 2023
This episode was an information-heavy narrative and rare spotlight on Ryan Cotter's Gar. This episode's standout moment, however, was the amazing multiverse sequence that was definitely worth waiting for.

While Gar has been a compelling character throughout Titans' run, he has not received ample screen time. "Dude, Where's My Gar?" addresses this, giving Ryan Cotter's Gar a chance to shine. The episode put Gar through the ringer, showing the strengths and vulnerabilities of the character that have largely gone untapped in the series until now.

What really made the episode a standout moment was the multiverse sequence. The episode's climax was an epic visual spectacle that felt like a love letter to the DC Comics multiverse.

Just watched it for the Cameos
ossamaijazkiani21 April 2023
Never watched Titans. Saw a random post from TVLine about this episode and its cameo guest stars and visuals and watched it. Loved seeing Brec, Grant Gustin , Swamp Thing, Shazam, Teen Titans Go Beast Boy and above of all Grant Morrison. Freedom Beast in his appearance gave vibes of B'wanna Beast. What I love about this episode is DC is finally acknowledging existence of Multiverse. Oh, I forgot to mention Batman 1966 Joker voice cameo. After Crisis on Infinite Earths at CW, this was something good to watch. But sadly, James Gunn is launching new DC Universe which will be obviously bring new..

Gar gantuan!
tigermail-lb24 April 2023
Yep this character is now given a terrific opportunity to shine. Yet some have questioned the Script writing? Umm, I wish we could criticise the negative posts on here just like in the old days. The critic I have in mind never offered or posted an alternative script - a coward's punch when posting their review - this was a really good episode. The amount of time to establiush the GAR character's place in this episode's non conventional space should have given even a Netfl;ix fan a reality check. DC has been in combat with Merville for quite a while. It doesn't surprise when a good DC show lands that the Green Screen Mafia from Merville try to criticise a DC Script, afterall all who remembers a script from an Antman Man trip?

Exceptional Beast Boy episode
Jetblazer19 May 2023
I know many didn't care for it but I think this is one of the best stand-alone type episodes they've ever done. Beast Boy centric episode that hits numerous marks and a little nostalgic flair thrown in for the last part of the episode. Some may complain about the variations of source material usage or that the first act drags a bit but in the end I believe it clearly brings the Beast Boy character into his own. I've always felt he was a disconnected, aimless, needy member of the team. This episode, in my opinion, helps flesh out why he was that way and let's him deal with his fears, as well as, creating his own path for how he wishes to proceed as a superhero. By not bowing down and following the status quo of his station but charting a new direction for it.

A Celebration of what was
xtidusxyunax12 May 2023
As we transition to the end of the 2013 to now DC, with Titans, Doom Patrol, Star Girl and even The Flash, Snyder DC etc the episode is bittersweet as it links everything together and we go to the Gunn era 2024.

With that in mind, its a solid episode as I think Gar in Titans' run does not get much runtime or character development, as the big hitters like Raven to Dick get majority of it. So im happy that we got this deep dive into him and his origin.

Overall, I think its a standout episode from this season and makes you look back at the past, present and hopeful for the future that maybe these characters will come back, even with the same actors.

Poorly Written
SHU_Movies20 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
For the most part, it's a pretty bad episode, with a quite uninteresting story and poor script, but it's absolutely saved by the last fifteen minutes! I'm not going to spoil anything, but it had me out of my chair with excitement and surprise

Even at its best, though, the writing really weighs-it-down. The action was really cool, though, and it's fantastic to finally see Gar/Beast Boy in all his glory after a multi-season journey

It could've been a really cool episode, had the script been done better. I really like Gar as a character, though, and Ryan Potter is awesome here! Really had the potential to be one of the show's best episodes, especially with what we see towards the end, but aside from that insanely good fan service, it's generally pretty bad.

What was the purpose of this episode
seagrove_9921 August 2023
This was a very informative episode about Gar. Why was it necessary? Is there going to be a spinoff of Titans featuring Garfield Logan? Titans is over, correct? No fifth season which there very well could have been. Warner Bros. And Discovery (Max which is Cinemax to me every time I see Max) has cancelled so many projects. I wonder if they are floating a Gar series?

This episode was a waste of time with only a few more episodes left. Did anyone really need to know about The Red? How is this germane to the current season? The last episodes should be about wrapping up the series. I like Garfield Logan I wish there was some clarification on this particular episode. Maybe I'm daft and didn't understand. I wish I knew where I could get my questions answered.

Waste of an episode
arnaud40031 August 2023
What was the point of this episode? It did nothing for the overall story and it was pretty boring. I actually struggled to stay awake for this one. Not only did it not drive the narrative of the overall plot, it also did very little for Gar's character development and the sketchy explanation of his back story also didn't really seem to serve any purpose whatsoever. Only cool part was the cameos, which is why I am giving it a few stars. Was nice seeing some of the favourite DC characters in this, especially Grant Gustin as the Flash. He is just infinitely better than Ezra Miller.

You can safely skip this and will miss absolutely nothing.
