This is the first episode I've managed to catch and I thought it was great. Wacky, funny, the turtles just doing stuff in their down time. Seems the people who make this stuff can't win. One TV or comic series where people moan about not enough Turtle down time, the next thing people complaining they don't want down time. These are just quick fire one shot episodes which I guess have the major story arc come up every few episodes. Bring it on, I like it.

A part of me just hopes they're getting some of the weaker 'nothing' episodes out of the way and will a little later really focus a bit more on the actual theme this series supposedly has. But not holding my breath. Had they sold it as a show of them just doing random stuff... fine. But they've tried to sell us on this "mystic" thing, so get to it. edit: Keeping it as half hour blocks with one half being actual theme driven and then a follow up "downtime" ep would have worked out nice.

In other words, by the end of the season, this show needs to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1YmS_VDvMY And yes, the prior show had the same problem at times. Like how we had a ton of filler in Northampton before we got back there. Or how there were a bunch of filler episodes before anything major with the Foot in season 2.

This episode was the zaniest so far, felt very much like something you'd see for the What a Cartoon! showcase. I found it hilarious that shaved Splinter kept a sick-pack abs patches of fur. I liked stage 4 the best since we see some of Splinter's ninja skills which he apparently unleash on anyone when he's in the middle of his flu XD
Stage 3, 5 and six was also fun and seeing the Turtles progressing in the quarantine with their sickness gave some laughs too. |

What exactly did Splinter say at the end? It sounded like "Daddy needs a new bike." or something along those lines.

Ain't gonna lie, this episode cracked me up because of its sheer stupidity. I liked it the same amount I was weird out by it. That feverish Splinter was pretty disguting afterall, lol.
It's just a filler episode and it wouldn't bug me if it added something to the story. The way it was, it didn't. I was the whole time thinking "man what have they done to TMNT??", but since it made me laugh, it was one of my favorites episodes so far. And no offense, but I believe that the last cartoon dealt a lot better with its fillers. For example, the Northampton episodes that was mentioned above... They weren't just random, meaningless episodes for they were used to show character growth. Leo needed time to come with terms with what happened and regain his confidence, Donnie learnt a bit more about himself and the way he expressed his feelings for April, etc. And here we have an episode about a feverish rat going crazy and his sons wanting to explore (and run away of) his sickness. :/ I'll have to rewatch it and then I'll let you know, ok?

Just checked it and you were right, he asked for a new bike.

Splinter is rat-nasty but I loved the ran-dumbness of this episode.

For the love of God, you people need to stop calling Standalone episodes "filler".

But since the term doesn't apply to arc-centered eps, isn't that kind of the definition of filler?

"Filler" is a pejorative that insults the people who work hard to create fun, self contained features, only to have them dismissed as dollar stretching fodder by entitled fans.

I dunno, I never considered "filler" to be an insult, seeing how eps can go either way; good ideas or not to much. 2012 has its share of them and I liked the majority. Some of those were "just filler," but decent filler nonetheless

Filler episodes are entries in a generally continuous serial that are unrelated to the main plot and generally serve only to take up space. This could also be considered "padding."

No offense, I only complain about Rise fillers because a) they are too much for a series that started being aired yesterday and b) some of them don't add anything in any form.
