Dangerous enemy or lifelong friend? That's the question of Season 2 when Terra, a free-spirited teen with awesome earth-manipulating powers, rolls into town. As a skilled fighter, she makes a powerful addition to the Titan... more »s' fight against crime, and as a fun-loving, no-holds-barred hero, she jives instantly with their team chemistry. But the Titans aren't the only ones interested in recruiting the new girl. Robin's archnemesis Slade is on the prowl for an apprentice, and the combination of Terra's volatile powers and personal vulnerability make her a perfect target for his twisted plans. Trusting this newcomer could prove to be a fatal mistake for the Teen Titans! Throughout 13 action-packed adventures from the hit TV series (and Bombastic Bonuses too), this Deluxe 2-Disc Edition is earth-shattering entertainment!« less
"This is season 2 of the Teen Titans series, and is notable for adapting the "Judas Contract" story arc from the comics. Terra is introduced, and Beast Boy is given something else to do other than play the comic relief. In other episodes Starfire is blasted to the future and meets Nightwing(!), Robin takes Killer Moth's daughter to the prom, and the Titans compete in a tournament of heroes and gain new allies. The obligatory "fractured" episode of the season is just that, with an imp named Larry breaking reality and causing chaos for everyone. The only blemish is the tail end of the season finale, which seems to take the easy way out after all the built-up character drama.
So we get another nice, compact, affordable collection of episodes. Half of this season was already released under the subtitle "Fear Itself," but this is the only place to pick up the remaining 7 episodes. Since Warner Bros. doesn't seem to be releasing another single disc for those who bought the first one, the smart (only) bet would be for fans to grab this set and sell the single disc. The prices are comparable, either way."
Peculiar....

"I thought they would make a separate DVD with the rest of the second season on there (to follow up "Volume 1: Fear Itself"), but it seems they finally came to their senses and did the whole second season on a 2-disc box set.
However, if they DID make a Season 2, Volume 2, I would put down the following:
"The next seven episodes feature the return ('Titan Rising'), the betrayal ('Betrayal'), and the wrath ('Aftershock', both parts) of the earth-moving Titan named Terra. She was a good girl, though.
Also, the second half of the second season has two of the LOONIEST episodes you've ever laid eyes on ! One is called 'Transformation' where Starfire turns into a hideous, yet hilarious creature. The other, 'Fractured', is a really zany romp starring an interdimensional weirdo named Larry (aka Nosyarg Kcid). Thanks to Larry and his reality-altering powers, he's turned the Titans' world upside-down, inside-out, and even backwards !"
If you want a run-down of the first six episodes, check out my review of the "Fear Itself" DVD.
Back to the two-disc, it has all thirteen episodes of the second season in its entirety plus the featurette "Catching Up with... Teen Titans". This feature is a reflective look of season two in the Titans' perspective.
I wonder when the third season of "Titans" is coming out ?"
Teen Titans Second Season is Awesome!

"I think that Warner finally figured out that people don't want to purchase disc after disc of just a few episodes in order to enjoy their favorite programs. This second season of Teen Titans is a must have if you are a fan of the show at all. Don't be fooled into purchasing "Fear Itself" (Season 2, Volume 1), as then the only way for you to purchase the second half of the season is to purchase the ENTIRE season which is included in this offering (there is no Season 2, Volume 2 offered). Our family loves Teen Titans, and we have children aged 4-24!! When our four year old son went to stay with his older married sister, his 27 year old brother-in-law begged him to bring Teen Titans along!"
Teen Titan's second finest hour!

"This season focus is on the new Titan, Terra, with insanely powerful earth powers. But Terra has a dark secret and an even darker aliance as she struggles with a troubled past and whether or not she can really betray her new friends.
It also has excelent filler episodes such as "Fear Itself", which is more of a Raven focus.
The season has an absolutely explosive ending, both powerful, ultra cool, and even tear-jerking. This is truly one of the shows finest accomplishments! Even if you know nothing about the first season, any kid (or teenager, like me (19)) can enjoy the anime style and the very relatable themes like maintaining control, redemption from wrong doings in the past, and the just plain funny stuff that pops up out of nowhere!

The Teen Titans are back for Season 2!

"After Season 1 expanded on introducing the five main characters (Robin,Beast Boy, Raven, Starfire, and Cyborg) and their personalities and attitudes towards each other, it was now time for the show to take on a different storyline. The creators of the cartoon decided to take one of the biggest storylines from The New Teen Titans comic series "Judas Contract" and adapt it to a younger audience in the cartoon. While making the adaptation kid-friendly, the creators did not loose sight of what the "Judas Contract" was all about. This makes for an excellent season of Teen Titans that both comic and cartoon lovers could enjoy!
This season introduces the character of Terra Markov. In the episode 'Terra' the Teen Titans meet the geomancer and Beast Boy's love is practically instant for her when she laughs at one of his jokes (which is quite rare for the changeling). It is shown in this episode that there is an obvious connection and possible future relationship between the two. Another speculation one might point out is Slade's foreshadowing quote that "he found her first". This episode is the gateway for many twists and turns in the plotline of this dramatic storyline. Many emotions will be played around with and the Titans will have to face the challenge of this new member. Is the Titans new friend really what they expect? Or is there more to the character of 'Terra'?
**Key episodes in finding out what Terra's secret is are Terra,Titan Rising,Betrayal,Aftershock Part 1, and Aftershock Part 2.
Now beyond the main storyline of Season 2 which is the 'Terra Arc', are the filler episodes. Another great thing about this series is that a lot of the filler episodes are entertaining even though they don't pertain to the main arc. One of my personal favorites is 'Fear Itself". At this point, not much is known about Raven but this episode reveals a different side to the dark character that I believe anyone can relate to. Another episode 'Transformation' which centers around Starfire and her weird Tamaranean traditions, sends a good message to kids everywhere about how one should not be judged based on their appearances.
Overall, this Season is excellent and I recommend it to any Titans fan or newcomer. With dramatic storylines like the Terra Arc, and good natured episodes like 'Transformation', both adults and kids can sit down and thouroughly enjoy this cartoon together.
