Yeah this episide's 'look he's fine' thing was the worst. The turtles just left. Why didn't he just blow the door down and chase them? Is he gonna just growl like an idiot in the car shop for another 20 minutes allowing the guys that dropped a car on him get away??

This was a pretty good episode! I enjoyed how they portrayed Raphael in this episode, in which the show finally displayed Raph's genuine concern for Donatello's well-being and happiness rather than the previous episodes where Raph was much cruder to him.
I'm getting the impression that the version of Kirby O'Neil that was rescued was a robotic drone version of the human Kirby O'Neil or sometype of brainwashing. (I kind of guess that before reading the thread here because Kirby's emotional reactions were blunted somewhat and off-key.) He'll probably have some secret transmitter on him to alert the Kraang and Shredder on where exactly the lair is and thus, probably lead into the Season 1's finale. As for the speculation as to whether Kirby and April are not really human at all, I hope that's not true. With so many aliens (the Kraang) and mutants around in the series, it seems as if the humans in the show are significantly underrepresented. As for the Newtralizer, its position (ally/villain) was clearly ambiguous for suspense, but I'm sure the character will develop. But for now, it just seemed like another imprisoned mutant of the Kraang, almost like Leatherhead, but as for this episode by itself, Newtralizer was a bit forgettable and unknown. ...But again, I'm sure the character will develop. I'm glad they showed Shredder and the Kraang collaborating together at a much deeper level by having Shredder being permitted to enter the TCRI building to thicken the plot and suspense of just how deeply involved their plans are in destroying the Turtles. But then it begs the question if either one has a plan to backstab the other if they think they destroyed the Turtles, or if a particular agreed plan doesn't work. Hmm.... The episode worked well in setting up for the Season 1 finale, with Kirby O'Neil being rescued since he was kidnapped in the Season 1 premiere, but of course adding some mystery to it, if its truly him. Let's see what develops now. |

That's why Casey Jones would most likely be the sixth ranger in season 2 to represent the badass normal human, complete with he has no ninja training.

I got it! April and Kirby are an alien species from Dimension X that are similar to humans (like Superman) who came to Earth with no memories and now the Kraang are hunting them down due to a long standing grudge they had.
Ok, that was joke. At any rate, I just got done finally viewing this episode. It was pretty cool but I agree that Newtralizer seemed to be overhyped. He reminded me of a less interesting Leatherhead with no personality and a lot of anger and guns. As for Kirby, I don't think he could be a Kraang robot. They can't even make their own robots have emotions or eye expressions. Unless Baxter Stockman had combined his knowledge with the Kraang and made the robots able to express emotions and dialogue better? But for now, I am agreeing with the "brainwashed" theory. |

Other than that, April could be a subject of experimentation by Kirby that made her different from other humans. |

Having seen Monkey Brains several more times, I don't think it's a coincidence that the plot of modified mutagen giving someone physic abilities is the same episode we first discover April's ability of sensing feelings and emotions.

April could be a Neutrino because we don't know much about her mother other then the fact her mother is supposedly dead.
Probability 1: An as yet unknown Neutrino woman escapes to Earth from Dimention X. The said woman meets a young Dr. O'Neil, they fall in love, marry, and have a young daughter. Knowing that her family is in danger of being discovered by the Kraang the Neutrino Woman leaves her husband and child to prevent the Kraang from finding them. She is supposedly killed sometime after this. However the Kraang later discover April is a cross breed of Earth and Dimention X after she sends in her DNA sample to the WGP. |

I don't know if its been mentioned yet (sorry), but could we assume what April found was The Turnstone from Archie Comics?

Probably not. The Turnstone is pretty obscure and I'm not sure anyone working on the show has ever seen it.

I have read some of the Archie Comics and I know Donatello becomes fairly obsessed with it there. It seems April might be the one who becomes rather obsessed with it in this incarnation.
But the Kraang do call it a communication device, and I have a feeling it wasn't in the sewers by accident. |

Probably last one in world to see the last chapter ...bur absolutely enjoy them!
Adorable...and NOT sadorable chapter Don centric! Most interesting points to comment: 1) We had seen a small pink brain eaten by Newtralizer! ...until now ...If Im not mistake...always those were stuck on wall and run away....this time...: deathly end for the one kraang!! Newtralizer is going to be a hard oponent! 2) Why Donatello almost faint when he was huge by April this time??...(he was huge previously)...because this time HE was the Hero that saves the day...as Lovely Raphael show her/everyone!!! Oops: also....yea...I think about mind control when I saw the red eyes...similar to Monkey Brains chapter...! ADORABLE DONATELLO!!!! |

Awesome episode!!
Donatello was awesome as befitting my favorite turtle. Newtralizer reminded me about Punisher for some reason. Generally very good episode with good action scenes. |
