Official Episode Discussion S4 Ep 24: Tale of Tigerclaw
Just a few hours before the newest episode of season 4.
This episode it looks as though we are finally getting Tigerclaw's backstory, and also being introduced to a new character by the name of Alopex. Who is Alopex? What is her relation to Tigerclaw? And what does she want with those twin swords? |

Watched, but I prefer to talk about it once ir airs on Nick. Anyway, Tiger Claw and Alopex's story is really interesting.

Great episode but it did have some strange moments in it, Splinter training the turtles while drunk
Alopex is awesome, hope we see more of her in season 5. We find out Tiger Claw real name and I assume he killed there parents. Poor Casey avoiding death a lot, it felt like I was watching a Final Destination movie Shocking moment of the episode, Alopex cutting Tiger Claw's hand off and even seeing his decapitated hand onscreen. Raph: He won't be able to clap anymore

Clever episode title. That's about it.
Otherwise, a complete waste of time.

Intoxication, dismemberment, on Nickelodeon?! Holy chalupas. The team really skirts around those censors, eh? Dope episode.

That was episode was absolutely amazing.
It looks like in the next episode or the one after the mighty mutanimals might be coming back because of the conversation with Mikey and Leo in the party waggon |

Some of the jokes did fall flat, but otherwise all the story elements made up for it. |

A metal hand, the greatest sign of character development there is!
I actually really enjoyed this episode for the great action (TigerClaw and Alopex in Chinatown) and humor (Boozing Splinter). But Aaronardo laid it out pretty well. They left out way too much detail of their falling out. Pretty big mistake for an episode coming 2 years late. But hey, we do know Alopex is coming back in season 5. Still time to clear all this up. |

So I don't know why people are complaining that weren't much stuff between Alopex and Tiger Claw, we still got season 5 yet.

It's just the usual trolls, I have no idea why they hang out in the Nick section to bash a show they clearly don't enjoy. And saying episodes that are actually plot-oriented as a "waste of time" shows they don't know what they want.

perfect example of the shows weird writing..
It starts off with a drunken splinter of all things, trying to teach some odd lesson about ingenuity. It gets completely forgotten about until the end, and only to show that splinter was right and casey had none to go on, and the others needed to help him along. what was the point of that? casey didn't come away with any lesson learned. and then at the end it goes all serious on us and violent to boot. feels like two different people writing one show. heh, i also saw they changed the intro again, something i usually skip. Shigami (sp) is in it..someone set up to be this big bad... but after three or so appearances, she's gone and it's like she was never there... ugh..this show. |

Unfortunate that none of what happened was done well or engaging. It suffered from the BAD Michael Bay and Last Airbender (movie) syndrome where a lot of things 'happen' but aren't delved deep into. We call it chess piece storytelling. Why did Tiger Claw do the things he did in his backstory? Why should we care now that Alopex is back when there are way more important plot threads such as Turtles Vs Super Shredder? What the f#ck was the point of Casey being cursed? And exactly how is Tiger Claw getting his arm cut off going to affect his CHARACTERISATION moving forward? Not sure what his "Lesson" was there... None of this actually matters, even if it isn't filler, which is why this episode was a complete waste of time.

If you're referring to everything else like them joining the circus and then becoming assassin's, that was all well explained. They were outcasts among society, and did the only thing mutants can do. Quote:

The new handicap, probably making him less useful to Shredder, and the stress of always having to watch his back because he has a sister who wants to destroy him piece by piece?

For an episode with a drunk splinter and mutilation, it couldn't keep my interest
Alopex with super really made her uninteresting |
