Although she’s emerging more regularly, Pandora still seems to like spending time in the cat carrier (now renamed Pandora’s Box.) Her haunches are protected that way. Our regular vet thinks it was another cat who attacked her and only managed to get one fang into her. The problem is that fluid is building underneath the wound and it’s not draining properly. If fluid continues to leak, I’ll have to bring her in on Thursday and he’ll sedate her and essentially put another hole lower down in the wound so that the fluid will be able to get out of there.

Overall, I liked the debut of the new “Titans” series. Basically it’s aimed at 7 to 10 year olds, so older viewers tuning in expecting to see JLA are going to be disappointed…or, at the very least, will have to reorient their thinking.

The basic thrust of the series is surprisingly consistent to the mandates I was given when I did preliminary development work on the series many moons ago before it was handed off to others. The notion was that the kids bicker, have difficulties operating individually, but as a team they pull it all together and are unstoppable. That’s the pilot in a nutshell. Nor did they want to launch with an exposition-heavy origin episode.

Very, VERY heavy anime influence, right down to switching to super-deformed versions of the characters when they’re particularly petulant.

Overall a strong launch for the target audience.
