Details on upcoming "Teen Titans" episodes
From the Cartoon Network:
"Calling All Titans" Jan. 7, 8 p.m.
The final game has begun. While the Titans are spread out throughout the globe on one last mission, Brotherhood mastermind the Brain makes his move. Robin has a strategy of his own, but as all the villains begin taking down all the superheroes all at once, will it be enough to save his friends?
"Titans Together" Jan. 14, 8 p.m.
All seems lost for young heroes across the globe: they have been spread far and wide, their lines of communication have been severed, and one by one, the Brotherhood of Evil takes them down. But as The Brain claims his victory is assured, one brave hero manages to slip thorough the Brotherhood of Evil's grasp.
"Things Change" Jan. 21, 8 p.m.
After months of fighting the Brotherhood of Evil around the globe, the Teen Titans are finally back home. But a walk through the city reveals that things are no longer as they remembered. And while Beast Boy wants everything to be just like it was in the past, he has to face the fact that in life things change.

Remembering John
I got the news the next morning, Dec. 9, on the radio. And, just having turned 15 and being a fan who lived and breathed the Beatles, I was shattered.
It was a horrible awakening to how randomly cruel, insane and violent our world can be. Somebody I cared a lot about had been taken from me. Had been taken from us all.
On this day, I don't want to remember how it felt to hear the news or to re-hear news coverage of the event or, really, to relive it at all. It was bad enough to experience 25 years ago.
But I am meditating on how we're now living in a time of insane violence on a much larger scale--a war that's killed thousands of U.S. and Iraqi citizens, which was started by the United States and has no end in sight.
Any real tribute to John Lennon and what he held important needs to mention that fact.
Rather than dwell on past tragedies, we need to figure out how to end the ongoing, much larger one we're in the midst of now.
