Ok soooo we know absolutly nothing about this episode besides what the lame preview showed and half the time with Fast Forward previews the things shown are hardly ever in the episode or at least in the same context.
It would be nice to see Bishop though.:D
EDIT: Well now thanks to blue_angel99 & tvguide.com we now know what the episodes about.

Mercenary Torbin Ziixx gets the turtles to help him smuggle humanitarian aid past the Triceratons.
mmmk so are the Triceratons bad or what? And are the turtles now going against Bishop to do this all?
I guess we'll all find out in a few hours.

Tanks!:P

I wonder what kind of humanitarian aid and to who? And why would the Triceratons have a prob.?! I thought they got reduced to just normal folk like newspaper dudes and mail carriers now...

Have you ever met a mail-carrier who didn't want to go postal (yeah, I said that) and rain destruction upon the Earth? O_o I didn't think so. :P

Well let it be said that I don't ever credit people lol
And yeah I thought the same thing the only sign that The Triceratons even have any kind of power is when we saw one last week as the jail guard but even then that would seem to be a good type figure to me..
You know I wonder if they aren't going to start taking things from vol. 4 of the mirage comics now.

Is it me, or is Raph's mask more like a reddish orange than an actual red? Compared to his mask color on the 2k3 toon.

Let me just start off by saying that this is the second episode of the 2K3 series I have ever seen, Casey Jones being first (at 9am lol).

Now, I am a fan of the comics, the 1987 show, and the movies.

Now for my quick review of this Fast Forward Episode:
All of the turtles seem true to thier personalitities, Mickey especially fuinny. I like it. Raph an angry turtle...Leo only points out the obvious...and Donnie...well he is very Donnie. As for the Zixx guy, well he seems pretty chill for a bad guy. Like his attitude, reminds me of Casey Jones. Doesn't his voice sound like Troy Mclure from the Simpsons? I knwo Phil Hartman is RIP, but man it sounds just like him.

This episode...the whole Fast Forward series...not so bad? It held my interest the whole time. The little double cross from...Zixx?...nice way to beign. A little bit of explaining throughout, leading to a Triceratons invasion and battle. Of course, there are way too many to fight, but that just makes things a little suspenseful I guess.

It seemed to have plenty of action battle sequences which is always nice to see...considering they always tone it down in the movies.

Loved the cliffhangers at every episode. Classic Saturday morning Turtle cliffhangers at every commercial...perfect!

As for the Turtles, they are in the future. Everything seems to reflect that. I don't see whats so bad about all of this. Seems kind of fun. The weapons are Star Wars rip offs, but thats ok by me. Plus Leo just beats most of the Triceratons with his bare hands.

O, and Triceratons...umm...nice...great enemy choice.

But wait. A double double cross at the end? The Turtles not heroes to those people after all? A setup? For bombs and explosions? The containers were the weapons? Zixx...making for a great enemy.

But those guys are also fighting the Triceratons? So maybe they didn't do bad after all?

Its a lot for a little kid to take in I suppose, but I am an adult, so I got it. Hopefully? Great episode.

So even though I have never seen a Fast Forward episode ever and only one 2K3 episode before this, I will admit that is was thoughroughly enjoyable. Crosses and crosses, it was liek a crazy movie of who can trust who. The Turtles kicked everyones...shell...in. I am glad I watched and I plan to continue watching...assuming I can get up this early every Saturday...hmm maybe Tivo?

I don't know what else to say besides I loved it! I give it an A. Much better than last week!
Zixx still isn't bad or good so that clears that up. *oh wait I guess that doesn't clear up anything!* *gets acne cream*
It was nice to see just the Turtles in an episode by themselves for once it's been awhile.
It was really cool seeing the triceraton gangs and it was also nice to have some nice action and fighting.
I gotta admit Zixx had me fooled I really thought he was doing something good.
I'm more than sure we haven't seen the last of those aliens or the Triceratons.
It did make me think though why are the Triceratons bad again?
It would seem the writters have forgotten how the whole turtles in space arc ended with them befriending the Triceratons and them becoming peacefull of course it all could have just been a trick. *Shruggs*
Oh and it was night time the entire episode I'm starting to like that they go back and forth from night and day.
I'm glad Raph wasn't the brunt of all the hologram jokes But I did laugh when he thought that one was a hologram and Zixx punched him poor raph!
Btw I was laughing my @ss off when the Triceraton kept falling for it though.
Oh and was it just me or was the animation and art slightly better as well? It also looked darker again.
EDIT: Holy crap I can't wait till next week lmao @ Mikey and Dark Raph!
Is it me, or is Raph's mask more like a reddish orange than an actual red? Compared to his mask color on the 2k3 toon.
Nah I think it could be your tv yeah? Cause the show actully looked pretty much as close as 2k3 as FF has been to date in my book.
Doesn't his voice sound like Troy Mclure from the Simpsons? I knwo Phil Hartman is RIP, but man it sounds just like him.
Personally I think he sounds like Jack Nicholson

Well it makes sense that not all Triceratons are good. I mean after they got under new leadership in season three and became a more peaceful race it's not like All Triceratons followed this new way. Some would cling on to their more militeristic ways of the past. If they can't do it offically then they become pirates, space scum, muraders.

Anyway I loved this episode. Zixx is my favorite original Fast Forward character and him tricking the Turtles into helping him was mean but not bad. With the villains of Fast Forward being more black and white then 2K3's villains were a gray area character like Zixx was quite nice.

I'm glad Raph only fell for the hologram thing once this episode, I was afraid that was going to be a running joke again. The Turtles personalites were closer to normal, raph and Leo were not dumbed down as much.

even with Ninja Time the dialog was more serious this episode. the fighting was closer to the first four seasons it was nioce watching Leo and Mikey owning the Triceratons with ease, and Raph doing the same.

Also no Cody, not eve a second of Cody screne time this episode.

Over all an 8/10 this was a very solid episode. My favorite of the season bar none.

Personally I think he sounds like Jack Nicholson

Yeah thats what I was thinking too. It works for him though.

I liked this new episode alot also. It definitely blew the last jammerhead episode away. I love to see triceratons in the bad guy role again (whether that was or was not true). Hopefully they fight some more triceratons this season. Obviously the ending had a pretty good twist that I didn't even see coming. I assume we will see these aliens come to earth with their explosives sometime soon.

This episode for me was almost (but not quite) as good as the Bodyjacker episode for FF (which is my favorite so far).

Next week's looks pretty interesting as well. Hopefully they can build now on the anticipation some people are building up.

Great episode, what a breath of fresh air. Cool fights, limited corny one-liners, a double cross, Triceratons. I'm impressed.

Did any one hear the light saber sound when the Triceraton found Zixx?:lol:

Actully you know you made me just think of something!
What if the Triceratons really aren't the bad guys of this episode and the Turtles where!

Yeah I liked the show but was dissapointed last week this one brought me back especially with that ending & ahah yeah I caught that to!
The thing that I really liked is that we will finally be getting a show acurate toy for once! Playmates really need to get off their butts and bring these toys out...they wonder why they don't sell...the poor sales have a huge part to do with the fact that they Bring out characters way to late...

Nah, not my tv, cause in the 2k3 episode earlier this morning, Raph's mask was red, while the FF episode was reddish orange for me. Maybe my cable company has different hues going through?:ohwell:

But, yeah, I LMAO when the triceraton hit the hologram and smashed his hand in that canister, and roared out in pain and disgust!:D

ALso, I snickered when Donny was talking in techno to Raph, and Raph flipped his lid and stabbed a sai into the thing Donny was trying to fix.

Nice fighting scenes too.

Wow, very nice episode. Definitely made up for last week's. Yes it was good even though they said: "It's ninja time!" The plot twists at the end actually seems like a specialty for FF. We've had what, one or two out of 4 seasons of the old 2k3 while we've seen just as many in one season of FF. I hope this is just a sign of things to come. I love the fighting. It didn't really make the turtles look completely unstoppable with the bad guys getting a few good hits here and there, yet the turtles still manage to kick their butts.

Oh yeah, to top it all off, next week's preview looks awesome! Hopefully, the episode will be as awesome as the preview. I mean, the preview for last week looked really stupid, yet it turned out quite nicely.

It would seem the writters have forgotten how the whole turtles in space arc ended with them befriending the Triceratons and them becoming peacefull of course it all could have just been a trick.

It's been over a hundred years, and Traximus is probably dead by now and a new leader might lead them back to their old warring ways. Plus, we saw plenty of good Triceratons in FF so we know they're not all bad.

creativerealms82

04-14-2007, 09:26 AM

Besides it's not like all the Triceratons would follow Traximus. Quite a few of them would continue their war like ways. I mean we have Peaceful and warlike Triceratons now on Fast Forward so that seems likely.

04-14-2007, 09:34 AM

I liked this episode a lot. I do agree with everyone when they say the fighting seemed a bit better in this compared to some previous episodes.

As for the Triceratons, remember this. They mentioned in this episode that they were an outsider gang, away from the Triceraton Republic, so the main group of Triceratons are probably good. It's like how most humans can be good, but there are wannabe thugs in the world acting like bootleg gangbangers. However, who knows, things could have changed.

I cannot judge if this episode was darker then the others, but it was damn good. I did see the fighting was stepped up a notch.

Does anyone think the bombs delivered to those aliens will lead to anything?

I think it would be a shame if they didn't follow up on this storyline, with the Turtles having a guilty conscience for delivering those aliens the bombs in the first place.

Another thing to note is that Zixx thought they needed the medical supplies in addition to the bombs, but the aliens dumped all the medical supplies.

creativerealms82

04-14-2007, 10:07 AM

True Zixx did think he was delivering both.

04-14-2007, 11:14 AM

Good episode!

NO CODY!

Everyone was in character!

There was one "It's Ninja Time!" :dead:

Nice twist at the end.

And I loved Leo's line, when the Triceraton told them they had just made an enemy for life: "Get in line!" :lol:

I approve and wish all of Fast Forward was more like this. But next week is more Cody crap... ugh.

CyberCubed

04-14-2007, 11:38 AM

I never really had a problem with Cody.

Its not like he's an annoying kid sidekick who wants to go with the Turtles on all their missions, or is magically a martial arts expert who can fight alongside the Turtles. Or worse...he's not Zack the kid sidekick from the old toon.

Most of the time Cody keeps to himself and even thinks Mikey is ridiculous at times. They don't even put him in every episode and in a lot of eps he does next to nothing anyway.

Whitewolf89

04-14-2007, 11:47 AM

Cody crap or not, methinks he's FINALLY gonna find out what dear old Uncle Darius is REALLY like, and what he's really up to (he DIDN'T look real happy about that in the preview. But then again, NOBODY likes being lied to or hoodwinked all their life...which IS what Darious HAS been doing). Should be intersting, IMHO.

And the Dark Turtles are gonna be in it. VERY cool.

As this ep, me liked muchlies. I wasn't real fond of the fact that Zixx fooled the guys...again, but he IS a mercenary. They do things for the money (and gee, JUST when I thought that he really WAS being a humanitarian with the medical stuff!), as lousy as that is. Anyway, SOMETHING just TELLS me that SHOULD he show up again, the boys AREN'T gonna be as trusting OR as gullible as they have been these two times.

And as for Traximus not still being alive, who's to say he isn't? We don't know how long a Triceraton's life-span is. Granted, he MIGHT be alive, but a senior citizen now in honored retirement. Ya just never know.;)

Anywho, can't WAIT for next week's ep...although, if the TITLE is any indication, we MIGHT just be seeing the END of the Turtle-X battlesuit. And, I HOPE, the end of Darius, as well. I positively HATE creeps like him!

EDIT: Um, on a RELATED note, I just checked the MSN TV listing for next week's FF ep, and the TITLE of THAT ep is "Fall of Darius".:o :o

Foreshadowing, anyone?:o

EDIT, PART DUEX: And I just checked TVGuide. com's listings for next week, as well. The 2k3 ep on at 8AM (CDT) is "The Shredder Strikes", Part 1, then "Fall of Darius" will be on at 9 AM (also CDT). And TV Guide is USUALLY pretty reliable, be it the paper magazine one, OR the .com version.

Jester

04-14-2007, 11:48 AM

One wonders if next weeks episode will be all Cody.

I liked this episode, like those points above it had good story, action, and only one "It's ninja time!" whan Mikey said it I screamed, "Why'd you have to go and do that Mikey!?" But all in all I liked it. Zixx is my new favorite >> character, because he's ambigous and so slik.

Raph's Girl

04-14-2007, 11:55 AM

Well this was an interesting ep. We learned a bit about the Triceratons of the 22nd century. The turtles
definatly gained a new enemy in Zucco. Possably other gangster Triceratons too. Wee!! At least Raph
learned to stop attacking holograms. *lol*

Im not sure about Zixx in this ep. Yes he's a smuggler but
it was nicer when we all thought he was smuggling supplies to stop the er uh "Pepperoni Virus". But noo
he duped the guys into smuggling very powerfull explosives...good thing they were in the inert while the
turtles were fighting the Triceratons. *L*

It was also nice to find out that not all Triceratons are mail carriers...like they seem to be on Earth. *L*

Now as for the name of the planet.. Bellerophon is from Greek myth known for capturing Pegasus and killing
the chimera. It's also the name of a moon in Firefly.

It's also the name of a ship in DS9. Dr. Bashir was on it to go to a medical conference.

I wonder tho if the planet in question was in the Pegasus galaxy? And just how fast are ships in
this series?!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellerophon

Next week! The clones return and Darius Dunn reveals his eeeeeeevilness once and for all!! muahahaha!

If MY memory serves me right, it was ALSO the name of one of the SUPPOSEDLY "lost" Battlestars in the ORIGINAL "Battlestar: Galactica" series.

I know! Can-NOT wait!!!

This episode was great -- I thought it was a lot better than last week's. For me, the highlight was the fight scene with the Triceratons...that really took the cake.

I was glad to see Torbin Zixx again because I was looking forward to his return since the last episode he starred in. I just didn't agree with him betraying the Turtles at the end, but what can you do about it? :ohwell:

I enjoyed this episode very much and I give it four Torbin Zixx holograms out of five. It would be cool if used that technology more often. :D

Now, next week's episode: I dunno how well it will turn out, but I hope at least it's average. Just because Cody's in it doesn't mean it will suck.

04-14-2007, 01:36 PM

This was a really good episode. Much better than last' week fast foward.

This my first time seeing Zixx. The whole episode was pretty fun but the "It's ninja time" ugh.. this is what you guys been complainging about. I agree with you 100%.

Lots of action, funny dialog and a great story. It made me wonder if Zixx was changing his ways till the end. Surprised me there. :lol:

Still both episodes of tmnt this morning, the casey jones and this one all excellent.

Now next week, first time I get to see Darius and those slash-like turtles and mikey was making fun of him reminding him of raph. :lol:

Oh ya I forgot, what is up with the preview for Milk Run they showed Bishop as a hologram but he wasn't in this episode.

I thought it was a great episode, I really like the tricertons (don't know why) but I was glad they had a episode where they weren't delivery people.

Zixx is someone who does what he wants to do, good or bad. Which is cool, would he stand a chance againt the Shredder do you think?

Anyway, no cody, which made it different. Mikey's jokes were fine, and fight scenes were well done.

The next episode better be as good

And there was only one "Ninja Time" which is always good.

Though I would like more Cody an Starlee, odd request I know but...

Great episode. I think my favorite part was how Leo dodged the triceratons punches, they hit each other and then he just tips them over with just a tap...:D :D :D

I was surprised when Raph knocked all those triceratons into space and they just float off into nothingness.:evilgrin: Ha Ha... I mean... Poor guys. :cry:

creativerealms82

04-17-2007, 07:43 AM

I know somepeople are mad that Zixx was actually smuggling weapons but look at it this way, he did not have to tell the Turtles the truth at the end. The fact that dispite not even being on the ship he had the decency to explain everything that happened shows that he felt bad for using the Turtles. If he left them on a return trip home with Donny finding out the truth and told them nothing that would have been much worse.

Anyway he is the type of person who will do what needs to be done for money. He does seem to hate being the direct cause of acts of genecide while at the same time can accept having a hand at causing deaths in a war. Pretty easy to justify especially if the side he is helping are the ones losing

Zixx is a conplex character. Not the merc with a heart of gold the toys claimed he would be but a much more complex character all together.

Buslady sorry but to me it looks like you hate this episode simply because it's a fast foward episode. First FF is less detailed then 2k3 we all know that complaining about that now is a bit stale. Same with the voice acting. The voice acting for minor charactes has always sucked in this TMNT even before fast forward. while the main cast have made the characters their own minor characters have always had that 4kids cornyness to them. Finally the "oh look triceratons are wrapped with glowing seran wrap" That's just grasping at straws.

I have no problem with you hating this episode with good reasons, however in this episode's case it seems to be you hate it because it's a Fast forward episode and not because of any real flaws.

Cassidy

04-18-2007, 07:55 PM

I've taken a liking to Zixx. However, I'd would love it muchly if Raph managed to get his hands on him and seriously kicked his butt.

The fight scenes were much more satisfying.

And no Cody :-D

Alright, I was out of town when this ep aired and I finally got a chance to sit down and watch it. Thankfully, my time was not wasted. :D

Good episode!

NO CODY!

Everyone was in character!

There was one "It's Ninja Time!" :dead:

Nice twist at the end.

And I loved Leo's line, when the Triceraton told them they had just made an enemy for life: "Get in line!" :lol:

I agree with every last word. Wow. This one was a great episode. It definitely hit the ground running and did not stop. Awesome, to say the least.
>> is really coming along. This ep is certainly one of the best to date. :thumbsup:
