View Full Version : OFFICIAL NEW EPISODE DISCUSSION 11Nov06: "Invasion of the Body Jacker"
Jammerhead uses the Bodyjacker to take over Darius Dun's body to steal O'Neil Tech's secrets.
I forget who said it was coming on in their area at 11 next Saturday, but I'm actually seeing it at 8:30 CST. So, am I getting an advanced screening here?
EDIT: This is ep#127. So far, they've aired them in order.

Aye.. cuz of Yu Gi Oh it's airing at 9am PT.
Jammerhead takes over Uncle Darius' body??? Uh...that's a bit freaky.....Soo... is Body Jacking a replacement for car jacking? :P
GTC: Grand Theft Corpus :P
Oh boy...this sounds...uniqe :o Body jackers? Come on...I mean, wouldn't that mean that Darius is a cyborg or something being hyjacked by a viris or a hacker? Man, this is very strange... *rubs head*

First Serling, now Darius Dunn.
Hijack Splinter's body, please. He must have drowned in his soaps, that would explain why we doesn't see him too often.

Hmm... Can Fraggles be considered an alien race? :P I mean, we aren't from outer space. You humans are. :goof: Someone see how the Hensons like the idea. It'd be good promotion for the movie. I'll get to work on a treatment, and hope they let me star in it this time (but, they'll probably switch me out with Red 'cuz she's the cute one, that tramp).

Maybe Jammerhead will stumble on Dunn's true intentions and accidently tell the turtles about some of them.
Anyway Two episodes with Dunn in a row yep it's like I thought they are building two main story lines. One will probably end at episode thirteen or so. Man people really are under playiong the storylines in Fast Forward. Some people are treating it like it's all stand alone episodes when it's not. Yes it's much worse then before but they still are writing a much bigger story mixed in with a few indipendent episodes like Clash of the Turtle Titans. No different from ANY of the other seasons.
Just no where near as well written.
As for Splinter I still have a dream Fast Forward episode. It's about the Spirit of the rat king calling out to him and making him wonder to the abandoned where house the Turtles fought him and then Rat King would torment Splinter. Yeah basicly an adpation of Splinter's City at war story. With the Abandoned where house still existing because it's haunted and no one has the guts to tare it down.
That story could work as a splinter "Fast forward episode" and if they did it he would finally earn his place in this series. Hell any signifigent role in an episode would help. Splinter has been way to useless in fast Forward.

Well it atleast seems very interesting..atleast for something relating to the ninja turtles. :)
And yes from the looks of this toy design made by key toy illustrator for tmnt Michael Dooney I'd say Uncle Darius is a cyborg ;)
The following week's ep will backtrack to "Headlock Prime". :sleep:

Jo Dawn
11-11-2006, 08:00 AM
Ok, so did anyone else think of the movie 'Fallen' when this started? 'Tiiiiiime. It's on my side...'
Heh, love the suits. Very cordial. I also liked Splinter's outfit. I wanna screencap of those, heh.
I have a tiny problem with the picture of April and Casey that they used at the dinner. I wish they'd used a... you know... more formal picture. If they were having a high class, fancy event, one wouldn't use a picture of someone in a half shirt and someone in a tank top. Coulda done better there, and made them seem more formal or even aged. Unless they make O'Neil Tech at that moment in the past, they should be more aged or at least be clothed in something representing of a business type.
Star Wars guys?? Heh, poor Splinter. Embarassed by his kids.
They serve hamburgers at a high class function? Heh. Ok.
Cody is infected!! NOW'S YOUR CHANCE, BOYS!!
... Darnit.
Nice move, Leo. But was that a 'Matrix' moment by Splinter?
Haha, I like how they found out it was in Leo.
Mmm, not bad ep, actually. I was fairly entertained. A few things I would change, but eh! Just me, I suppose. I'll have to give this one a thumbs up. ;)
But still... 'Tiiiiiiime, it's on my side.' :P I'll be singing that all day now.
Well, the supposed ep title was officially incorrect. "Invasion of The Body Snatcher!" just sounds uninspired though.
So, the main characters who were posessed in this ep were Mikey, Leo, Darius, Cody, then Splinter. Questions I have about the premise here is where Jammerhead might have gotten his hands on such a thing as the Body Jacker. Could it have something to do with that thing on the back of their cloaks? Kinda' looks like an abstract Utrom with a scar over both eyes.
Anywho, this was a cool ep. The previews made it look retarded though. It was a relief to know that it wasn't so pointless. I don't recall laughing at any part of the ep, and the fact that it seemed so plot-driven reminded me of "Bishop to Knight". Other than Splinter's fondness of piggies in blankets, I don't think there was any unnecessary info in the ep. Few jokes (none were funny though), but an enjoyable adventure none-the-less.
I thought "Fallen" too. And, Splinter's moment of superrodent strength did seem like an hommage to the burly brawl sequence in "Matrix Reloaded". What episode was it where they did that scene with Don trying to spin around on his bo like Neo (also from the burly brawl)? That was the first thing to come to mind. IMO, a bit tired, but not annoyingly so.
For any FF staff who might be watching, JD liked the ep. That's your universal seal of approval right there. Be proud of your accomplishments. ;)
Next week, same turtle time, same turtle channel: "Headlock Prime" :ohwell: Perhaps they could use the additional time to remove any disturbingly out-of-character moments from future eps... They've done pretty well with the last few. ^_^
Oh crap, was this today?
lol... yeah, I'm such a great fan. :p

Was it me or was this episode the first of the season that I did not hear anyone say "it's ninja time!" ? I can't recall anybody saying it once. All in all, this is probably one of my favorite, if not my favorite, episode of the season thus far.

Wah! I was SO thinking Fallen too when I watched this eppy! Especially the part where the thing moved down that whole line of people. That was way cool. Personally I think this was the best episode so far this season. And how cool was it that Master Slinter made friends with some Jedis?!
But this I think has been the only Fast Forward episode so far that I haven't had to roll my eyes at at some point. Very cool, in my opinion.

This episode wasn't too bad. But I was just wondering. Did Raph's mask look more reddish orange than red, compared to his tuxedo (I thought his stripping of the tux with his sais was the best part of the toon) but I just wanted to know if anyone else noticed that?

This was a pretty good ep. There were definatly a couple amusing moments and we were introduced to the Darius Dunn in armour action figure.
I don't believe a word about the weopons recycling program thing... riiight.
The guys looked good in the tuxedoes...especially Raph...*G*...
The aliens we
saw...well other then the Jedi Knights I swear one of those aliens looked like
one of the Federation guys also from Star Wars.
Now for a couple questions:
1: Is Jammerhead a robot???
2: Will that Entertainment Tonight/Today reporter become reacurring?
3: Will Donatello pick up the pieces of the body jacker thingy to study it?
I totally agree on the photo of April and Casey. A formal event and they show a pic of April and Casey giving the peace sign???
Quotes:
"Now excuse me. I am on a quest to find piggies in a blanket. Those are
always the first to go." - Splinter
"I gotta go to the potty!" - Darius Dunn

I felt this episode was all right for a continuation of last week's. Even though the action outweighed the humor, I didn't mind that.
I didn't think Jammerhead would make an appearence cuz I don't remeber seeing him in the previews for this episode. It's cool that we were able to see him again and his street phantoms.
Every Turtle looked snazzy in their tuxedo, especially since the tuxes were the same colors as their headbands. :D We only heard Raph yell "It's ninja time!" when he ripped off his tux, which is good thing that the phrase was only said once for the whole episode.
The Bodyjacking technology that Jammerhead used -- I found that pretty intriguing. It sucks for him that Don had to crush the little ball-like Bodyjacker device he used to control people, though.
I give this episode three Bodyjacked people ouf of five. Next week's episode -- hmm...I'm dissapointed that they didn't show a preview for it. :ohwell:

I thought this was a pretty good episode. I liked their tuks. I wonder what Dunn want's to do with the battle suit that Jammer Head used? I like Jamer Head's character better than the previous episodes he was in. How come there going to start showing repeats next week?
I hate it when Splinter said he was on a quest to find pigges on a blanket! That was out of character for him!
I liked the Star Wars goof. I think it was cool to see the turtles fighting Splinter.
1: Is Jammerhead a robot???
When Jammerhead jacked that reporter's body and told his 'colleagues' to catch his, he referred to it as a meat bag. That implies organic material. However, it would make a convenient explanation for his "system crash" at the end of the ep.
2: Will that Entertainment Tonight/Today reporter become recurring?
In as much as they gave her a name, Britney Alexander, I wouldn't be surprised. But, that's not enough of an indication for me to conclude one way or another.

I really liked this episode. The FF season seems to get better as it progresses.
I too find it funny, with JammerHead switching from one body to another.
Funniest moments would have to be the Jedi Parody part and JammerHead trying to talk business while being in Darius's body.
So a thumbs up for this one.

And yes, her 55 hour marriage was to a Jason Alexander, making her Britney Alexander for JUST over two whole entire days.
I was thinking that I previously ne someone named Jason Alexander, but that was a mistake. I recognize the name cuz he played my favorite character on Seinfeld, George. She married that guy? :lol: But, seriously, I thought I knew every Jason in Louisiana... Guess I missed this one.

Can some one tell me how the turtles and Splinter acted exactly when they got body snatched, and what they did exactly?
It all started with the Brittany Reporter Girl, she got jacked from the dude (forget his name, sorry) and 'she' went to talk to Dunn but Mikey ran in front of 'her' and was all, "OMG am I on camera? :D " and 'she' touched him ("Getout of the way!") and Mikey got Jacked. He acted all gruff and mean like...I think it was Leo that ran over to get 'Mikey" so he can do Tai Chi for Splinters buddies, and then Leo put his hand on mikey's sholder saying he better not screw this up. Then, Leo got jacked, leaving poor Mikey, back to himself, throwing off jokes. "Leo" then ran to go to Dunn, but got stoppped by Donnie saying they needed him to come do somthing or other. Leo snapped out of Donnie, whacking up the tray of food that they brought over. Ummm, then I think "Leo" finally passed thorough many jacking people to get to Dunn, then a chase was on, blah blah. They went to get Dunn in a top secret area, and they knocked Dunn downa few floors, but "Dunn" jacked over to Cody. "Cody" then ran off with the plans of weaponry and stuff, with the boys behind him. "Cody" then jacked over to Splinter, after the comment of, "Cody, why are you running? " or somthing. Then "splinter" was off, and into the back alley, and he fought the guys. Then pall pinned Splinter. They then found out that Splinter was now himself, and everyone wondering who was who. They all turned to Leo to leave, but "Leo" said, "Its over. Lets book it." Or somthing and everyone said, "'Bookit'? NOT leo!" and got the Jacking thing out and then Donnie bo staffed-ed it. D: ^^; All in all, they acted like maniacs. Mean grumpy ones. D: I hope that helped. ^^

Therrrrrre's the adult humor.
Better be careful what we ask for.
I didn't say anything about Uncle Darius rubbing anyone the wrong way....:lol:
All and all, I think the show's coming allong nicely, at least since after Headlock prime. That episode had quite a bit of potential, and it all fell flat.
This one was pretty damn good. I have to say, the Piggies in a blanket thing wasn't too out of character, at least compared to the other stuff. At least we don't have those dumb jokes about Sushi from the first series.
That bit where Jammerhead went crazy going "system crash! System Crash!" over and over cracked my up. And that room full of weaopons is clearly going to set up something really cool.
Anyway, since it's not owned by Fox, is Fox responsible for changing time slots, or is it all 4Kids?

first episode of the show I actually was able to stand....why I dont know but as much as I hate this show this episode was actually not all that bad, hell I think fast foward might be growing on me a tad bit. (I hate the way the turtles look compared to 2k3 but I love those breathing.....suit thingys....yeah)
It was kind of funny to watch jammerhead body switch into each turtle and watch how he would react to a conversation that person was having before he jumped in.
But still this show is way to much like the orginal cartoon (which is great) but I would like to see some more dark styled stories.
Hell maybe well get some body to do some fan styled stories to treat us all to some more adult themed fast foward stories?

When the turtles where body jacked how long did it last? And I'm still a little iffy as to what they where doing. The object was to get to to Dunn, so Why did the body jacker keep hoping aroud from body to body when he essentially had a clear shot at Dunn when the reporter jacked Mikey...Gawd, I feel really perverted saying that :|

Is the term "meat bag" another homage to Futurama? That's what Bender says, right?

OMG! I can't believe you said that! That's so perverted! :P
The reporter or pop-star or porn-star (the jury's still out on that decision) was headed for Dunn, but Mikey got in the way. It was like the transfer was already set, so Mikey only had about five seconds of "I wannabe on TV" after he grabbed her hand before he became posessed (for comical effect, I'm sure). As for the setting, they were at some business social for O'Neil Tech. Leo and Splinter were talking to the Monks of Meeg about spirituality and the dynamics of chi-flow. So, Leoo goes to grab Mikey, unaware he's been posessed, and tells him Splinter wants him to demonstrate an exercise for the Monks. Acting like a dim-witted, grumpy street punk (that's JammerHead for ya'), he then switches over to Leo. The posessed Leo poses Mikey like a basketball player, then abruptly heads off to find Dunn. The other three turtles stop him and ask what's up. Apparently, Don volunteered as a waiter. The posessed Leo loses patience and knocks the tray of food out of Don's hand, which all three go to catch (and are applauded for their 'show'). JammerHead then jacks through a line of bodies to reach Darius.
Geez, this is getting too long. Anyone care to finish it for me?
Okay then *cracks fingers*
After Darius is possesed and makes his immortal "I've got to go to the potty" comment, the turtles and Cody follow him up an elevator and find themselves in a weapon store room (is it just me, or did Raph actually look happy that they discovered something so deadly? :P), only to find Darius/Jammerhead in a suped-up battle suit. He then goes trigger happy on the turtles and holds Cody hostage. After defeating Darius, the turtles ask Cody if this was his uncle or not, but *le gasp* CODY'S BEEN BODY JACKED! :o
After that, Splinter becomes possesed, heads out towards Jammerhead's original body, and falls off a caravan roof on purpose to get "his boys" to catch him, thus abling him to body jack yet again. Poor Leo is picked yet again for this wonderful role and...yeah, they bet the **** out of Leo, destroying the body jacking device, Jammerhead goes "coo-coo", and his lead away by those weird robots which I want to reprogram to explode on cue. Everyone is happy but me, who wants to see what happened to Raph's shredded rental suit :(
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that the summery is out of the way, yes I did manage to see this on the 4Kids site (If only I had known earlier. Then I could've joined in with the bashings with you guys :lol: ), and yes, I enjoyed it considerably compared to the first episode. I agree with Jester - This show is getting better, but it is not up to the same level as the 2k3 series. The show means well, but it's just been done in the wrong style and wrong format to what we, as hard-core fans, want. Anyway, the episode itself was good compaired to what I've heard about eariler episodes. It's getting edger, but not life-or-death edgy, like we've all come to know. Still, I did laugh with Leo posing Mikey like a doll in front of the Star Wars spoofed monks, and not to mention Darius's potty line :lol:
But this makes me think about something. Out of curiousity, does anyone want to start up a thread in the Fan-fiction section just for some of these episodes rewritten by us? We KNOW what this show could do, and we KNOW that it can get darker, but it's just taking the sunny route instead of the dark and grim route. To be honest, when I first heard of Fast Forward, I was immideatly thinking of a resistance group trying to over throw some giant, corrupt power, with Cody as their leader. I was invisioning very strict training sessions by Master Splinter, using the latest technology to make new spying gadgets, some new weapons and vechiles, and some little things such as a communicator on your wrist that is a radio, a watch, a mini-map of the city with thousands of sub-maps, and maybe a futuristic trinket hidden instore for us. But not this very VERY bright future that is all colorful and bouncy. Too colorful and bouncy for everyone's liking, it seems.

going to the future to fight off some extra terestrial (spelling:ohwell: ) threat with high tech gizmos and what not is so over done that it is a cliche.
In fact I dearly want TMNT to take a step back from Sci Fi stuff (not abandon it completely) and get into some urban story lines, and do some hard core ninja-ing. What appealed to me so much about the TMNT was that they are the strangest things in a city normality (as normal New York can be) and taken them permently out of that angle and thrusting them into an enviroment where there are other freaks like them kind of takes some thing away from them.
I don't know perhaps I'm being closed minded :(

In fact I dearly want TMNT to take a step back from Sci Fi stuff (not abandon it completely) and get into some urban story lines, and do some hard core ninja-ing. What appealed to me so much about the TMNT was that they are the strangest things in a city normality (as normal New York can be) and taken them permently out of that angle and thrusting them into an enviroment where there are other freaks like them kind of takes some thing away from them.
I don't know perhaps I'm being closed minded :(
good luck with that not to sound negative and I love peter lairds work but it's the lack of Kevin eastman in my opinion thats made the tmnt so sci-fi.
He always seemed to be the one who was into the ninja action, blood, and back alley brawls.
