This song was also playing when the scene with Kory and Rachel in the car opened. As Rachel waits in the car Kory takes care of the men while a pop cover of “Sunny” by Boney M. plays in the background. Kory interferes as he lobs some causally sexist comments at her and Rachel. While there the pair’s waitress is harassed by an abusive ex-boyfriend. Kory and Rachel then enter a diner to stop and grab some food. Instead, she is aggressive and brash which works against her “light” based powers. Rachel refers to her power as a darkness instead of her while Kory calls it a light. While I appreciate the shows attempt to set up a “Ying and Yang” of these characters it doesn’t work mainly because Kory’s personality isn’t the bubbly, optimistic girl she is in other mediums. The two talk about their powers and the show attempts to set up an interesting dichotomy between the characters. She then hands Rachel the picture she took from the Roth home. Kory is disheartened that meeting Rachel didn’t trigger her memory. Kory tells Rachel there are people out there who are trying to hurt her but she isn’t. Rachel tries to touch her to feel what she is feeling but is unable to do so. Rachel says no and Kory snaps at her to be quiet so she can think. While Kory is driving with Rachel and asks again if they have met. Dick then learns his partner, Amy Rohrbach, is dead. The detective also informs him that security cameras at a gas station caught Kory leaving with Rachel. She informs him there was an intruder at the Roth crime scene, Kory.
ORIGIN S01E03 ONLINE UPDATE
I was disappointed this is the last we see of them for the remainder of the episode.ĭick then gets a call from a fellow detective giving him an update on the Roth case. Previously, he was so caught up in his jealousy that he was willing to assault Dick, now the two are calmer despite the previous events. His character development here is so important.
As much as I love Minka Kelly as Dawn, I am starting to love Alan Ritchson as Hank even more. After admitting he doesn’t know, Dick tells Hank to watch out for Dawn and swears he will find the people who took Rachel. It immediately reminded me of the Star Wars prequels whenever Obi-Wan or Anakin flip around.ĭick returns from his flashback and is confronted by Hank who immediately wants to know who those people were and what they want with Rachel. This is one of the first times we see Dick’s acrobatic skills but the CGI is rough. We then see a car driving up to Wayne Manor and Dick immediately leaving out his window while Bruce watches unbeknownst to Dick. The woman also tells him that the police suspect the Graysons were murdered and the fall was not an accident. Dick is triggered by something and stuck in a flashback from fifteen years ago where a young Dick Grayson, played by Tomaso Sanelli, is speaking to a social worker who informs him he is going to be fostered by Bruce Wayne.
ORIGIN S01E03 ONLINE SKIN
Rachel admits a little confused that she does not know. The effects themselves are not wonderful but the way Kory’s skin is tinged orange while using her powers is a very cool touch.ĭawn is in the hospital with Hank at her side while Dick is outside the room looking in on the couple.
After reaching Rachel, Kory demands she tell her who Kory is. From there Kory burns the father and saves Rachel. Kory has been tracking the family and finds them stopped at a gas station to refuel. RACHEL AND KORY:Ĭut back to the present, Rachel is in the car with the strange family who is playing roadside bingo while she is handcuffed. Anna Diop has a commanding presence on screen but it is still very hard to get past the bad wig and dress she is still wearing. The fight scene is very poorly lit but overall not bad.
She uncovers a box containing letters and information about Rachel including a picture of her at a convent. At this point, a cop enters the home and Kory incapacitates him and his partners quickly. From there, the show jumps back to four days prior where Kory is investigating the Roth household. Kory is watching the scene from across the way. The episode picks up immediately where the previous left off as Rachel is getting abducted. The episode also provides us with more background into Dick’s upbringing with Bruce and brings up closer to unraveling the mysteries behind Rachel and the cult pursuing her. “Origins” doesn’t help alleviate any of those major concerns but Anna Diop’s performance is excellent considering what she is given.
In my past reviews, I have criticized Kory’s new origin as well as her current costume. Previously on Titans, viewers were introduced to Hawk and Dove and while this episode, “Origins,” features them, the main focus is on Kory.
