Episode 02: Sisters "I am happy to see her. But Blackfire rules the videogames and she is able to share very depressing poems and she knows the cool moves and she always knows when people are not talking about shovels" - Starfire Originally aired: July 26, 2003 Written by Amy Wolfram Directed by Alex Soto Posted Image When a mysterious alien probe shows up to haul Starfire away, sweet-natured Star has no idea why it came. And when Starfire's sister Blackfire shows up to visit, Starfire just wishes she would leave. Blackfire's wild, cool, and hip -- everything Starfire's not. And the other Titans seem to like Blackfire so much, Starfire thinks they won't need her around anymore. But just as Star's thinking about leaving, a couple of alien thugs (Kai and Cron) show up to haul her away. Can Robin save Starfire? Will Starfire find out why these nasty aliens are after her anyway? Posted Image Hynden Walch, who does the voice of Starfire, also provides the voice of Blackfire Rino Romano as Kai David Sobolov as Cron Posted Image Posted ImageFirst appearance of Blackfire, Starfire's sister. Posted ImageRino Romano - the voice of Kai - provides the voice of Batman in "The Batman" animated series Posted ImageThe warehouse club has a neon sign that reads SOTO - which is a nod to series director Alex Soto Posted Image Glen Murakami on SISTERS: "Besides action and humor, interaction will be an important part of the series. "Every story has a moral that I think kids can relate to," said Mr. Murakami. "The third episode, 'Final Exam,' is kind of about being bullied. 'Sisters' is about sibling rivalry and Starfire learning about herself. And I think the Titans' problems are something that kids have to deal with." Glen Murakami on Blackfire: "I was glad that we did Blackfire. And I thought it was funny to do it in that kind of I Dream Of Jeannie/Bewitched way. I thought it was cool to do that with the characters. And again, it’s like, how do we take this big dramatic Blackfire story arc – how do we do that and distill it all down into one episode? And I think we did it. I think you get it; You instantly understand their relationship. I think we held true to the character – but we just crammed it all into 22 minutes [laughs]." Posted Image Starfire's sister Blackfire was even more vicious in the comic book tales. Blackfire was born without the power of flight, and was passed over as heir to Tamaran - which was bestowed on her younger sister, Starfire. For this, she hated Starfire. She killed her pet, betrayed her planet to the evil Gordanians and sold her sister into slavery. When they met again, Blackfire and Starfire fought viciously - almost to the death. Years later, Blackfire returned and ruled Tamaran but learned to soften her ways. But the sisters always seem to remain at odds with each other. Blackfire and Starfire's history is detailed in Tales of the New Teen Titans mini-series #4 [1982] which shows the origin of Starfire. Starfire mentions that on her planet fireworks may mean "The Gordanians are attacking." The Gordanians were a lizard race of aliens that would enslave anyone they conquered. In the comic books, the Titans rescued Starfire from her enslavement by the Gordanians in New Teen Titans #1 [1980]. That's how she met the team. |
