Episode 46 The Prophecy "Tick, tock, Raven. Time is running out. " - Slade Originally aired: June 4, 2005 Written by Tom Puglsey, Greg Klein Directed by Ben Jones Posted Image Why did Slade come back? What is he planning? Ever since the return of their arch-nemesis, the Titans have been searching for answers. But is there something Raven isn't telling them? Posted Image Virginia Madsen as Arella Ron Perlman as Slade Kevin Michael Richardson as Trigon Posted Image Posted ImageThis episode follows up events from BIRTHMARK Posted ImageThis episode is directed by Ben Jones, who also directed X. Viewers will remember a strong John Woo influence in that episode, including Woo's signature white dove. Series director Ben Jones has used white doves in two previous episodes: X and BUNNY RAVEN. And now, white doves appear on Azarath. Posted ImageVirginia Madsen - voice of Arella - is an accomplished screen actress, appearing in such films as "Class", "Dune", "Candyman" and the oscar-nominated "Sideways." Her brother is actor Michael Madsen, featured as Susan Sarandon's boyfriend in "Thelma & Louise", as well as in "Reservoir Dogs" and "Kill Bill." Posted Image Raven's mother, Arella, appears in this episode. Angela Roth, involved in a mystic cult, was chosen to become the bride of the demonic Trigon. Abandoned by the demon after mating with him, she was taken in by the pacifistic disciples of Temple Azarath, a group who had centuries earlier forsaken life on Earth to pursue their own nonviolent lifestyle. Angela was given the name "Arella", which means "messenger angel." In their interdimensional world, Raven, Arella's daughter by Trigon, was born. Raven grew up on Azarath and learned to control her emotions, lest Trigon's evil would burst free. Raven and Arella's story was told in NEW TEEN TITANS #1-6 [1980]. Raven would sometimes let her evil side show - which sometimes would cause her own teammates to fear her. Eventually, Raven became increasingly corrupted by Trigon and became the vessel that brought him to earth. Once on earth, Trigon lay waste to the planet until he was eventually destroyed by the combined forces of the Teen Titans. It all happened in NEW TEEN TITANS [second series] #1-5 [1984]. Raven mentions, "I'm not just a person. I'm a portal." When Raven was reborn in a new body by Brother Blood, one of her new abilities was to act as a 'doorway.' Other references in this episode: Trigon lay waste to Azarath in NEW TEEN TITANS [second series] #1-5 [1984]; The 4-eyes is the mark of Trigon; The sculptures in the library look like the Azarathians from the comic book series. |
