Almost There...

[kerfootw]

Finally! Episode 2 of the Lost Season is up on Youtube as is "New World Order" I and II. Part 1 of "Membership Drive" is also up and the guy who's uploaded these episodes is working on getting the rest up! As for these episodes (especially "New World Order")...all I can say is to be prepared to be blown AWAY!!!:D

[Gusty_TMNT_Fan]

"BLOWN AWAY" is not enough when describing the lost season.

[kerfootw]

Breaking news!
The second part of "Membership Drive" and the episode "Fathers and Sons" has just been added.

[Albear]

Ment to be doing Uni work today but i had to watch the new uploaded episodes of The Lost Season, just finished New World Order dam they are sweet cant wait for the last few episodes to be uploaded.

Thanks for posting those, although my son refuses to see them on a small PC screen. I hate seeing my son dissapointed, and it makes me dislike 4Kids even more.

I'm at a loss of words right now at how cool these episodes are, but them selfish sons of ******* are holding it in their grasp laughing their asses off. Again I can only be happy about this when my 4 year old son gets to see these in the way they were meant to be seen. I feel like for all the positive things I have tried to say about 4kids, and of all things FF, you think they would treat their fans right. Who knows how long it will be until we see these, if at all. Mods can mod me for this if they see fit, and it's usually against my religion to say this, but as it stands now, 4Kids can go to hell for handling The Lost Season the way they are. Sorry but my son means a lot to me, so hiding my thoughts would be selfish on my behalf.

Funny thing is, like a lap dog, and for the sake of the fans and my son, and for hopes we'll get more seasons on Turtles on the air, I will continue to support these *******s.

Thanks very much for letting me be able to view these topic creator, and sorry again for the rant. Wait til you have a dissapointed 4 year old who cries because he cannot see them on such a small screen, that it is almost unviewable.

I feel the same way about Disney. How old are you anyways X?

[Spitfire]

As cool as it would be to see these episodes I'd rather hold out until I don't have to watch them on crap quality on Youtube.

I watched the first half of the 2K3 series through DL and it just wasn't the same. I learned waiting for the DVDs is the best move.

[X]

I'm 28, my son is 4 going on 5 in May, and my daughter will turn 1 on April 9th. My sole goal in life outside of my career is to see my kids happy, and get what they need in life. My son wheeping to see his favorite Turtles on a screen where you don't have to squint would make me very happy.

I would import the DVD's, but my 400 disc DVD player doesn't play region 4 DVD's I assume (It's a Sony model.) My laptop didn't come with DVD software installed, and the screen although bigger, wouldn't stop my son from mashing on the buttons (He's very energetic.) My Aleinware did have DVD software but I think a friend uninstalled it, and to install it again off a master CD I would have to pay Alienware 10 dollars an hour to reformat my PC since its a weird process since it's an Alienware (you have to do certain parts at certain times.) I would even import them and hope to make duplicates on region 1 discs (if it's possible) to watch in my 400 disc player, but is something like that possible?

In all honesty if I have to show 4Kids I am willing to spend an arm and a leg to get these from AU I will, but they just should've put these out to begin with, instead of holding onto them with no info, as if they never intend to release it.

What makes this worse is having to explain who the Tribunal is when he sees the episode "The Journal," from FF all the time.

[Roseangelo]

Target sells a $30 DVD player that can be hacked to be region-free AND also play PAL. I have one; it's teh awesome. 8)

But I'm not buying the Aussie DVD because it doesn't have Ninja Tribunal. And I'm not watching the episodes on YouTube, either. But I AM watching them and I'm likely to get nothing productive done today. :D

I would even import them and hope to make duplicates on region 1 discs (if it's possible) to watch in my 400 disc player, but is something like that possible?

This is also possible. Find a program called "DVD Shrink."

[Spitfire]

4Kids will release it here you need not worry about that. You just gotta be patient. I don't have kids to please but I know how that can be so in that respect I see where your coming from. But most people aren't in that position, they just whine about how bad FF is and rave about how great The Lost Season is even if they haven't seen it yet.

Trust me if FF didn't exist you would all think the idea of the TMNT turning into dragons is stupid as all hell and would dismiss it like you do FF. It's because 2K3 is gone that you cling to it so.

[X]

Unlike some cheap ripoff of Power Rangers, I think the Turtles turning into Dragons works well...

As I stated in another post, I would appreciate FF even more then I do now, and support it even more then I do now, if they would just pull their heads out of their asses.

The only doubt I have about TLS coming out in NA is due to the fact they are being so secretive about it.

If they are planning on announcing the set with the inclusion of The Ninja Tribunal episode then fine, at least tell us it's coming in the forseeable future.

If they are planning on finishing Nightmares Recycled in the set then fine, at least tell us it's coming in the forseeable future.

Yet for some reason 4Kids is treating this with such secrecy, as if they are a bonafied George Lucas holding secrets about Star Wars, or Michael Bay witholding vital info about Transformers.

Youtube's not always crap quality. I watched the lost episodes on there and they looked just fine.

[Spitfire]

Youtube's not always crap quality. I watched the lost episodes on there and they looked just fine.

Not as good as they look on my 32 Inch wide screen HD TV.

[kerfootw]

Not as good as they look on my 32 Inch wide screen HD TV.

Uhhhhhh....congratulations?

As for these episodes X, your son doesn't have a choice. He has to watch them on Youtube (they have a full-screen option) or he gets nothing for quite a long time at the least.

[ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael]

Not as good as they look on my 32 Inch wide screen HD TV.

Hey, at this point, I'd watch the episodes on a betamax.

I just watched Fathers and Sons. Great episdoe, the Turtles looked goofy the buck theeth and all.

[jestergoblin]

I'm on the second to last episode of the season.

This is AMAZING.

[TheShowstoppa]

I have to say that Membership Drive was a good episode. I like what they did with Nano. They're definitely tying up loose ends well. This was going to be the end of the series. it had to be...

however anyone find it awesome that we now know where Mikey got his new turtle titan costume in Fast Forward from?

[kerfootw]

ALL RIGHT! They're all up there...except for the banned "Nightmares Recycled" episode, oh well big deal! :D :D :D :D :D

P.S. I knew this season is chronologically before FF!

[Ratchet]

Just to note, Nightmares Recycled wasn't banned, it was canned. Insane in the Membrane was the banned one.

[TheShowstoppa]

New World Order was AMAZING!!! This is by far the best season of TMNT yet. I'm truly upset that it will never be aired. The animation is at its peak and the whole style of writing is better. It can't get ANY better than this for TMNT. EVER. I cannot wait to own this DVD when it comes out over here. Until then, I stand by and idly wait for the coming.

"Looks like a storm's comin'."
"No. It's already here..." - Casey and Splinter "New World Order Part 2"

[ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael]

Just watched Enter the Dragons Part 2

More than made up for the lackluster part 1. They were clearly setting this episode up to be big. The big dragon battle is ****ing amazing. All the action is! Great way to end an excellent arc. 10/10. My only gripe: No Leatherhead

[kerfootw]

Oh come on! THAT was lackluster?! Almost all the heroes and villains united, the warriors returned, the Mystics were killed, and the action was kick ass as always! I'm very proud to have seen this and glad you all have too! Excellent season!

[Gusty_TMNT_Fan]

The way they got all the good guys and bad guys together kinda reminded me of the series finally of Justice League Unlimited, any one notice that?

But ya all those episodes were AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!! Also this season was i think the most violent out of all the TMNT seasons.

[kerfootw]

All I can say is: TMNT, that was one hell of a goodbye.

PS I know it's not official whether the series is over or not of course but if this were, it sure as hell would be a fine finish. Thank you Peter Laird, Christopher Yost, the VAs, and everyone else that is/was involved in the best TMNT cartoon ever made!

[Ratchet]

I think you should put a spoiler warning on this. You inadvertently blew plot points kerfootw. Predictable ones, but still spoilers nonetheless...:ohwell:

[Whitewolf89]

All I can say is: TMNT, that was one hell of a goodbye.

*sighs in aggrevation* WHY does everybody keep assuming that TLS and FF are the end of the series? Has anyone heard, from an OFFICIAL source (like the official TMNT website), that Pete (or whoever) is pulling the plug on the show? 'Cause UNTIL I, for one, hear from something like that, I'M going to keep looking on the positive side of things. Mainly because I can-NOT believe that Pete's going to let his boys go "gently into that good night" so easily. ESPECIALLY after all the time and money that HE has personally put into it.

Me, I'm going to wait and see what happens after the release of the movie (only 11 days to go now. Hehehehe.................). You never know what will happen then. Who knows? It could bring a whole new outlook on things.

So don't be so gloom-and-doomy, people. The best MAY be yet to come.;)

[ZariusTwo]

I doubt it's going to end anytime soon. I don't know how that works, given as long as FF airs, TMNT is dead.:)

Pete may be simply bending to inflexable network demands, probably hoping they'll permit the content in TLS eventually when it comes to later seasons. Who knows? Maybe FF was his excuse to hold off doing anything in the present until he thought of ways to reinvent the show whilst following the mandates of FF.

In that sense, he could find himself going down the route of the original, and if that happens, now would be a good time as any to bring in David Wise, although he does'nt do much now except translate romance mangas..:ohwell:

[TheShowstoppa]

Well, I got through the last episode finally... and let me just say that as far as I'm concerned, the TMNT 2K3 show ended with that episode. It was fitting and a sad thought. I highly doubt there is a way to top what the lost season has done for me. It was satisfying and completely worth every second of the wait. It's been more than a year since we found out that this season wouldn't make it to TV. Since then, we've all had to endure YouTube watchings and countless warnings and such from this board. Let me be the first to say that watching this season on YouTube did not impare my wanting to buy the lost season, it greatened it. (However I do hope they put the "Ninja Tribunal" episode on our DVDs) The demand for this DVD is going to go up through the roof now that people have seen these on YouTube. You are ALL doing yourselves a favor by going there to watch these episodes. The first 3 have stayed on YouTube all this time and let me tell you... if Mirage really wanted these down, they would have done so. Let me be the first to say I will congratulate everyone there for doing an excellent job with this show.

Yes, I know this series may not be over, but Fast Forward is nowhere near what it should be for this show to progress. The animation has gotten worse, it's become more campy, and it (aside from a few good episodes) is a complete step back from what this series is intended to be. I continue to watch Fast Forward just so I can continue to get my fill of TMNT and new episodes. However, I pray they come up with a new and exciting way to carry on this series much like they did The Lost Season. Without that, all we will have to look forward to is a sequel to the movie - assuming that the movie does great.

[Whitewolf89]

This is true.

On the other hand, maybe someone should e-mail Dan and ask HIM what the shell is going on with the series. Provided he could spill info like that right now, that is.:P

Just a thought.;)

Oh, btw, I was replying to Zarius' post with this, not yours, Showstoppa. Just a bit of FYI here.

*grumbles at herself* Shoulda "quoted" this one. WHEN will I learn to trust my gut-instincts.............?!

[ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael]

Oh come on! THAT was lackluster?! Almost all the heroes and villains united, the warriors returned, the Mystics were killed, and the action was kick ass as always! I'm very proud to have seen this and glad you all have too! Excellent season!

The episode was just to lackluster for me. The acolyte's return just kinda came outta nowhere. The fights were really weak, and the Mystics went down to easily. In New World Order they put a much better fight. Plus, where the **** was Leatherhead? How could he not show up for this. I mean, he palyed a big role Good Genes, why couldn't he show up here?

On the other hand, maybe someone should e-mail Dan and ask HIM what the shell is going on with the series. Provided he could spill info like that right now, that is.


I doubt they tell him anything.

[Roseangelo]

Just finished watching all of these. The whole Mystic/Dragon thing doesn't really do anything for me, but I thought it worked well within the context of the story. And I like how everything wrapped-up really well at the end.

My personal note to 4Kids:
Thanks for encouraging all of us to become pirates to see these episodes! The DVD sold out in Australia; just think how many of those sales could have been region 1 purchases if only we were given the opportunity.

[ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael]

My note to 4Kids:

How the **** can they see this season less marketable than **** Foward.

C'mon, the toy ideas are plentifuly. The Ancient One, The Ninja Tribunal, Adam, Joy, Feragi, Tora, Raptarr Ananda, Nano in his new form, Metalhead, Chaplin, Undead Shredder, the 5 Foot Mystics in they're true forms, Giant TMNT and Shredder Dragons. Plus, they could reissue the Mystic Fury TMNT and give them they're respective Fang of the Dragon.

[Leonardo_Warrior_Turtle]

What makes the Lost Season so amazing is that Peter Laird was directly involved with it's creation. I know he had a lot to do with the previous 4 seasons. (And also on Fast Forward.) However, he had a direct connection with the Lost Season because he wanted to see the story come together with a conclusion. When 4kids announced there new direction for the series, he knew that he had to complete the tale of the Ninja Tribunal. The fans wanted it. He wanted it. That's what made it special. I agree. If Mirage really wanted these episodes down, they would of done it a long time ago. I would not of uploaded all the episodes if they had taken down the original On Demand TV rips I uploaded. Something tells me they feel this might be free promotion for the series. Oh well. Not going to worry about that.

As for the finale itself, it was the perfect fit to end 2k3. Well, nearly. My only grip with the ending is that April, Casey, Leatherhead, and the Fugitoid were nowhere to be seen. Which is sad because they are all just as much part of this series at the Turtles, Splinter, and the variations of the Shredder. Honestly, I would of like to see more episodes in the 5th season but what we got was pretty amazing. This was pretty dark stuff. Completely the opposite of what Fast Forward is. Releasing it on DVD gave the creators a chance to do something that 4kids would not of allowed to be on the air. Maybe there is a good reason they decided not to air these initially.

Man, what a wait we all had to endure. The Season 4 finale 'Ninja Tribunal' aired on April 15, 2006. We had to wait nearly a year to finally see this story end. I just want to give a big shout out to the people who were able to bring the DVD out to Austraila. Also, to a certain website to a certain someone (I can't say because I don't want to get banned! lol) for providing us all with the DVD rips! Without these elements, we would still be left in the dark for this season. I'm sure the DVD will be out here in North America sometime soon. 4kids can't deny us forever!

I didn't say it was. READ FOR CHRIST'S SAKES!!!!!

[Leonardo_Warrior_Turtle]

I can't help but picture what 'New World Order' would of been like if Ch'rell was still on Earth as the Shredder. Just imagine the smacktalk the two Shredders would have. Now that would of been something interesting to watch.

[Whitewolf89]

I doubt they tell him anything.

He runs the official website, so why wouldn't they?

Not being hostile or snotty here. I'm just curious.

[ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael]

He's not directly involved with the show. I've asked him stuff about the new toon, alot of times he doesn't know anyhting.

The majority of the updates on the site come from us sending him the news.

[Time Mistress]

Just finished watching the Lost Season yesterday. Man that was awesome! This is how the series ends as far as I am concerned. Yes, I still watch FF, but The Lost Season is how TMNT is supposed to be done imho - epic, emotional, edge-of-your-seat action, and the culmination of five years of a truly wonderful show!

[Head Spinnin' Bebop]

I'm 28, my son is 4 going on 5 in May, and my daughter will turn 1 on April 9th. My sole goal in life outside of my career is to see my kids happy, and get what they need in life. My son wheeping to see his favorite Turtles on a screen where you don't have to squint would make me very happy.


Oh geez, don't make such a drama out of it. Enlarge the video or get a bigger computer screen then. If your son really loves it, he'll have to learn to watch it the only way he currently can. Unless you'd rather not see it at all. Better than nothing.

Anyway, I just started earlier and loving it so far. I haven't seen the show in so long, as I stopped after the fist FF episode aired. Fine with the quality of the vids to, no problems!

[LogicDonny]

The quality on the youtube video are fantastic.

Also the show shouldn't end for another year or 2. let the turtles return to new york and take care of crime once again.

[Whitewolf89]

That's kinda what I was thinking.
