Official Episode Discussion #5 "I Think His Name Is Baxter Stockman" - Page 2

*CyberCubed* · 10-20-2012, 09:58 AM

Wasn't as good as last week but a decent fun episode.

Baxter's motivation was poor and I don't like how the T-pod was a magic plot device. I hope the stuff with the TCRI leads to something.

Thanks a ton, HerpDerp

I like how Baxter busted through the wall yelling "Oh yeah" like KoolAid. Little things like that make this show rad.

Agreed. I loved that part.

I really wish April would appear more. It's like she isn't even a main character

...I can't tell whether you're being serious or sarcastic here.

I feel like they're really really trying hard to make Mikey the most interesting and lovable character. He's awesome but it'd be nice if the other turtles personalities can be fleshed out as much as his is the last few episodes. The episode was Ok. The ipod thing felt kind of like a forced and slightly dated pop culture reference. Too much pop culture crap won't age well at all.

Another great episode! Really loved the turtles being "grounded" and sneaking in the lair hoping splinter was asleep. Interesting making baxter a different race but definetly captured his spirit. I dont mind Baxter returning to his 80s comic roots.

I just don't see the point in making those stickies if they don't unlock RIGHT AWAY.

Because there's clearly an option to have a thread unlock itself at a certain time.

I'm actually going to agree with this.

*NinjaMan* · 10-20-2012, 01:21 PM

Stockman Pod lol. Great episode. Splinter cracks me up. Good fight scenes. Baxter looks to be a fun villain. Loved the Koolaid man reference lol. I'm loving how Leo is impersonating his favorite hero.

*MrTMNT2012* · 10-20-2012, 01:41 PM

Loved the Episode, even better than last weeks in my opinion. It had way more Epic battles and funny moments!

Um... Baxter WAS black in the 80's comics roots.... The 80's CARTOON changed races and made him white...

Wasn't it kinda funny how even Splinter called him the Stockman-Pod? lmao

I agree with everyone else. Who's April again? Some girl they rescued whenever ago? Honestly, if she wasn't in the intro, people completely new to the series and Turtles in general wouldn't have guessed she was any more important than Spyder Bytes. The only reason we care is because we're so used to her being a major character due to past incarnations.

Also, anyone like how LEO was the one that slipped and fell and made alot of noise after his 'we must move silently' line, instead of Mikey? Seeing Leo goof up for once was unpredictable and funny as hell. Especially with Raph rubbing it in afterwards. lol

I loved it when it Splinter called him that lol. I'm loving the fight scenes in this cartoon. They are really good. I look forward to the Baxter toy.

Sorry folks, I got yanked away suddenly and didn't get a chance to open the thread. I merged the two and stickied them...

Could you unlock the threads Friday night before the eps then? It's not like people are going to spam the thread 1 day prior.

No worries!

I thought this episode was pretty tight. The only thing I thought was kind of weird was how their eyes transformed into white. I think it's cooler when it's done off camera. Small nitpick though, who cares.

How is it dated now? People still use ipods. Like a lot. You think walkie talkies dated the other two shows?

*BubblyShell22* · 10-20-2012, 02:38 PM

This ep was great. I loved Stockman and thought Phil Lamarr did a great job. I loved his Kool-Aid bit and the fight scenes. Splinter was great in this episode as well, and I loved seeing Space Heroes again and hearing Leo deliver more cheesy lines. And I cracked up when Leo fell down like that. It was funny. Overall, a very good episode.

Favorite quotes:

Splinter: How many times have I told you not to skateboard in the Lair?
Mikey: None, Sensei.
Splinter: You should not have to be told.

Leo: Maybe he's gong to church.
Raph: With battle powered armor? What kind of church is that?
Mikey: A really awesome one.

Leo: Halt, villain!
Raph: Halt, villain? Seriously, when did we start talkin' like that?
Leo: We're heroes. It's how heroes talk.
