Unfortunatly, fanboys who became writers just figured "Oh, Terra was never THAT bad, she didnt know any better, and she could be a goodie-goodie if the key was turned ever so slightly THIS way", and we got a lot of her in the 90s, but nobody really cared much until the cartoon made her best known story relevant again. At least the writers kept Terra's fate ambigious and even had the balls to have her not even freindzone Gar in "Things Change", but to downright drop him out of her life completly. That to me should show the fanboys she never really cared for him in "that way", at least not in a long-term sense.
That's why BB and Raven's relationship always struck me as the better one. They knew each other far, FAR longer than Gar ever really knew Terra, were teammates that looked out for each other, had a sizzling love/hate chemistry with one another and were privy to each other's secrets, strengths and weaknesses. I'm still glad that just before the New 52 rebooted things, DC allowed BB and Raven to grow up and get together and close out the original Titans continuity.

Well, okay, in that sense,you're right, but I never read the comics and only ever saw the show, so that's what I'm basing my opinions on, though I'm definitely not against the BB/Raven pairing by a long shot. I feel those two could work just as well as Robin/Starfire. But for some reason, I've always liked Terra and was always intrigued by her story and her reluctance to get close to anyone. Still, I can't wait to see her in this version and to see what might happen with her.
