It was enough what they did to my Donnie on issue #44 from the IDW comics.

The episode was full of action, I was shocked when she disintegrates Donny. She was able to get him back.

Sweet. I like how they draw each turtle with their assigned colour. Nice simple way of telling them apart on the storyboards.

Being blown into to a million pieces, I don't care for your fancy words of disintegrated, lol. He was dead. His organs were all over the place in the rain. How much deader can one be?

[Tarris Vaal]

I kinda have to agree.
He was quite dead. He was no more. He had ceased to be. He'd expired and gone to meet his maker. He shuffled off his mortal coil. Bereft of life and ceased to be. He was an Ex Turtle.

Still an awesome episode though

I'm quite surprised how well it holds up on repeat viewing as well. Just wish this whole series was 40min episodes. Could have done so much more with this.

I'm in the mood to watch Nostalgia Critic's review for The Room now.

[T-U-R-T-L-E POWA!]

I liked the episode, in and of itself, but was a little lukewarm to the whole crystal plot thread. It just seemed kinda random to me. When her hair got all spikey and she transformed she reminded me of Syndrome from The Incredibles. Sort of a cross between him and Zuul from Ghostbusters.

I was researching a little about Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go! (you surely already know Ciro was the creator), and when I was watching the last episode of the show I could see some similarities with Riddle of the Ancient Aeons/The Power Inside Her (I will put them in spoilers because is kind of extensive ):

Spoiler:

You maybe have heard about SRMTHFG because Ciro has put many references of this show during the space arc of TMNT 2012 season 4.

The last episode, called “Soul of Evil” , calls my attention because the first half of the episode is very similar to Riddle of the Ancient Aeons, when April gets the crystal of the Soul Star (and when the theories of Dark April started).



While the second half of the episode is very similiar to The Power Inside Her (when Dark April ends), and there’s a parallel between Donnie-April and Nova-Sparx, but here the corrupted one is the red guy (Sparx) ,and the yellow girl (Nova) is the one who tried to bring him back but also the one who received more damage from him.

Even there are dialogues that actually were said in The Power Inside Her!



If in TMNT Za-Naron lost control over April because April thought about Donnie thanks to Raph, here it was Nova’s words (and her love for Sparx) that put end to his corruption. One difference: In this episode Nova and Sparx (apparently) become a couple, while Donnie-April, well… at least they’re healthy, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Apritello becomes canon in the last episode of the show, just like Nova/Sparx.

It could say more similarities between this show and TMNT in this episode, but instead of that, I invite you to watch the episode and see by yourself the similarities.

I really hope this is an homage and not a recycled script like in the Wyrm case. Is it too similar like in that case, right?

The Power Inside Her was inspired in Dark Phoenix of XMen, Ghostbusters and in my opinion in SRMTHFG too. I think it's just an homage of all those movies/tv shows.
