New Fast Forward On Demand

[Jon]

Checking the On Demand listing, and among the new additions to the TMNT Fast Forward list are 2 episodes currently not-yet-aired on TV:

"Race For Glory" and "Head of State".

[VaughnMichael]

WOOHOO!! I knew they would do this! thanks for the heads up!:D
EDIT: Just got done watching Race For Glory it was an ok episode nothing as good as the last few before it though.
I'd say it's nice to see Leo acting like his old leader self again I hope he holds mikey to his extra training time haha lazy.
And Wow I was right!! I didn't remember the characters names from the Planet Racers Episode but sure enough the young boy in this episode is related to Godman Falcon (Team Fitts' pilot for bike #23) from Planet Racers how that for continuity He also had the number 23 on really nice throw back. Ok I'm off to watch the next episode.
EDIT AGIAN!!!: WOW! I just got done watching Head of State this is in my opinion the single best freaking episode of Fast Forward ever I can't even believe my eyes after watching this episode. I can not believe baxter stockman is back!!! Amazing Simply amazing this has made me a very happy fan boy seriously I don't want this show to end damn it. :-?

[Jon]

You're welcome.

I, too, just got finished watching both.

"Race For Glory" was a nice episode. But "Head of State" was amazing!

Like you I enjoyed--

*Baxter's return!*

I figured on it being him when Bishop mentioned "Brains behind the operation.... or should I say brain.". But seeing his new look was something else, and Bishop's backstory on the "Organic Mousers" and what caused his change about aliens. Great stuff!

[gobo]

Dang you, Comcast subscribers! :x I want new eps too... :cry:

[Vegita-San]

Dang you, Comcast subscribers! :x I want new eps too... :cry:

Agreed...

I HATE EXCLUSIVES! Even if it's on a provider I get, I STILL HATE EXCLUSIVES!

You'd think Cablevision, the biggest crap cable company in the East, would have this exclusive as well...

[X]

Dudes its on COX on-demand, I'm watching them now.

EDIT: BTW Head of State = best episode EVER (2K3 and FF.) I love endings like that.

-X-

[Vegita-San]

Just to make sure I'm understanding your point, let me explain my reply :). We don't get Comcast on Demand, because we don't have Comcast as our Cable Provider :). That's why we hate exclusives :).

[Scandia]

I don't even have cable TV. So you bet I hope they release the complete box set of this season on time.

[Jon]

EDIT: BTW Head of State = best episode EVER (2K3 and FF.) I love endings like that.

-X-



Yeah, definately a great episode.

Baxter finally gets a happy-ending, after all the grief he's been through.

[X]

Yea for some reason I think he actually deserved it.

I just hope we see him again in a better state.

After seeing this episode, I hope whatever new show is coming next year, goes along with the continuity from 2k3 and FF, or now I will be very ticked. I don't want anything starting over again, only for 4Kids to cop out when they think the ratings get too low.

-X-

[PrometheusUFO]

The remaining four episodes are scheduled for July...

:cry:

[ZariusTwo]

You mean part two of this season, given the first is already out

[Scandia]

Yup, that's what I mean.

And I am glad the final four are scheduled for July.

And I hope to see more TMNT. Or at least they can air the Lost Season on the regular channel while they make more episodes.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

OH PLEASE,

I'M BEGGING HER: TELL ME EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN "HEAD OF STATE"!!

I MUST KNOW!!! :o

PLEASE!!!!!

[mumbo230]

So, going by that July schedule, does that mean that the final episode of Fast Forward is called "The Zixxth Sense"?

[Jon]

OH PLEASE,

I'M BEGGING HER: TELL ME EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN "HEAD OF STATE"!!

I MUST KNOW!!! :o

PLEASE!!!!!


Well... I'll help out. :D


Bishop calls on the Turtles to help with another problem he has. It seems someone is out to get him..... with genetically engineered creatures! -- Which he had a hand in making many years ago.

The one behind it is Baxter Stockman (now a strange combination of his remaining brain spliced with alien genetics). As Baxter was left-for-dead during a mishap in the creation of the afore-mentioned creatures, where the facility ended up collapsing -- This event brought about the change in Bishop, as one of the aliens that he had captured and experimented on saves his life that day.
For being left behind, Baxter plans revenge on Bishop by putting his mind in the former-agent's body.
The Turtles end up stopping him (by simply having him realise his current form is not going to be looked-down upon, as a "freak" or-such). But, while dealing with the creatures, the Turtles end up causing the area to start collapsing. With Baxter getting stuck (much like in the past event). This time Bishop makes up for his previous error, saving Baxter.

Hope that helps.

[gobo]

That info was given a few weeks ago. So, yes. That's the title.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Thanks, Jon, you're a lifesaver.

A few questions, though, if I may? I put these in spoilers, just in case.

1) So Baxter has an alien body? Not human?

2) Is Baxter a good guy at the end of the episode?

3) What are Organic Mousers?

Okay. Here goes with some explanation--


1) Sort-of. It looks like a combination of his remaining brain-and-eye with some genetic tinkering (having green 'skin' over the stalk and eye, and some medium-size tentacles)

2) Seems so, as he got into a mutually beneficial deal with Bishop (to work with an agriculture facility, and he's to be getting a new body)

3) That is Baxter's 'pet name' (so to say) for the creatures he and Bishop worked on (they were first planned to be another line-of-defense for Earth against alien invasion).

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

So, Jon,

Baxter's a funky little squid thing now? Or is he like he was in "Good Genes", except with green skin and tentacles?

Is there any holographic head display to show the viewers it's Baxter?

And he's going to be getting a human body from Bishop? Good. I feel sorry for Stockman; always being a freak. He needs to get a normal body back.

Well, you're getting the idea at least. What makes up the 'body' of this current form looks like a brain, and has about 8 tentacles to get around on (and use to operate things). With the eye-and-stalk on the front (per-usual), except now having a skin covering them.

No hologram this time, just his voice. As Baxter apparently doesn't need a mechanical body to survive, or get around (though he isn't shown moving around on his own too much in the episode -- making his entrance atop one of the Organic Mousers, and then most of the time he's standing on a table --, he is shown doing a little anyway).

Right, from what's mentioned at the end (Bishop explaining how creating a body for him is much easier nowadays).

[Splinter's Iroonna]

*kicks Time-Warner for buying out Comcast here in L.A. area; kicks 4-Kids for ignoring the rest of us*

[Stephen]

He needs to get a normal body back.

I'm surprised he hadn't cloned himself a new one by now since it's been a 100 years

[VaughnMichael]

He needs to get a normal body back.

I'm surprised he hadn't cloned himself a new one by now since it's been a 100 years
He does get it back and he was under ground all of this time and did not have the new technology to do such a thing.

[Tinuvielsdreams]

I finished watching them just now Putrescent, thanks a bunch again for letting me know last night.
I still think Bishop looks so weird without a bunch of Shadows around him. I had a good laugh at that eppy though, the turtles protecting president Bishop was just a bit too much for me...haha

[Ninjinister]

As far as Triple Threat episodes go, Race of Glory was all right... but man oh man, Head of State ROCKED!

Could the mention of "monsters" turning good be a foreshadowing to the episode Michael Sinterniklaas referenced where the Dark Turtles turn good?

[VaughnMichael]

Well atleast tripple threat is in jail now along with jammerhead.
And yeah I sort of think they will seems to be the way things are heading perhaps the dark tmnt will become that times tmnt and then the turtles wont have to worry about codey. So they actully can go home.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I think the Dark Turtles are going to end up hanging out with Cody when the real TMNT go back to their own time.

Either that or they hire on to President Bishop's team.

[Rhodan]

Well, these guys have bad relationship...

Stockman: Bishop, you fool! you can´t crush , even bunch of misareable turtles! I refuse to give you any piece of my technology, until you give me a new body!
Bishop: Your new body is but one of techno-organic experiments I´am conducting in the Techno.. Er, Earth defension Centre. See I´am working on the new genaration of mutants which will be basis for new defense against aliens.
Stockman: Forget the mutants! My stone warriors and biological mousers are waiting for my command to defend this world! But they can´t see me like this!
Bishop: Stone Warriors, of course! Max Winters spells have been decrypted. Then I´ll get all super-soldiers I need!
Stockman: Bishop, no! there´s no telling what can come trough that portal!
Bishop: All the super-soldiers, from the whole multiverse´ll be mine!
I couldn´t resist.

[gobo]

Great idea. ^_^ But, I somehow get the feeling that English isn't your native language.

Yes, I´am from Czech republic. And thank you.

[Cascadia]

Grrr....no on Demand channels here. If there were any, I would not be able to afford them.

[Jon]

On Demand is a feature on cable boxes. And the majority of programs are free-viewing (with only a handful having a fee).

[Time Mistress]

So let me get this straight. There are 6(?) eps left in this season. Two are up on On Demand (must watch now!) and the other 4(?) will air in July. Or will the On Demand eps also air in July (if so that would be nice for those without On Demand) which would push the new eps into Augus as well if there are 6 left in total. Anyway it looks like I'll get to see them all before the DVD comes out. Cool!

[kerfootw]

They smell too bad. I'm going more with the Hiroshi Gunjin (or however the hell you spell that). Still, it could work. This is FF after all, you'd never know.

[Time Mistress]

Just watched the two new eps today. Race to Glory was okay, but Head of State did rock. Wow, FF managed another surprise winner. I wish more eps would offer this kind of closure. But this again just proves that why Bishop is such an awesome character (and someone like Shokanobo isn't).

I wouldn't rull out ol Sh'okanabos coolness factor just yet I mean hell he took out shredder with one clean swoop.

WHOA whoa waaaait a sec here.... did they really mention Max Winters?! :o They somehow intigrated the movie into FF?!

That tears it...i gotta see these eps!!

[VaughnMichael]

no that did not happen....Rhodan was making that up.:roll:

[Raph's Girl]

no that did not happen....Rhodan was making that up.:roll:

Oh...pft.... ah well...I'll still of course watch the eps when I can. Only the tv in the living room has Digital Cable and it's currently occupied. :P

[Spitfire]

this again just proves that why Bishop is such an awesome character (and someone like Shokanobo isn't).

Yeah Shkoanobo isn't cool, he just wants to turn the entire planet into zombie slaves so he can suck the Earths resources dry. He can kick the crap out of all four turtles at once and took Shredder and all his Foot out in like 3 seconds. Yeah he's totally lame :roll:

[VaughnMichael]

Oh...pft.... ah well...I'll still of course watch the eps when I can. Only the tv in the living room has Digital Cable and it's currently occupied. :P
btw I wasn't being rude but yeah I figured some one would missunderstand that joke they made hehe.
And yeah the shows actully getting really good I'm quite happy it will get a proper ending and now lead into the next show.:D

[Roseangelo]

I wish these episodes would accidently appear in other places for those of us without digital cable. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/mirax80/My%20Pics/MNForceBanners/Innocent.gif

lol if I could make it happen i would.:lol:
I mean ur always welcome to come to and visit me in pittsburgh rose lol:lol:

[syk_skillz]

Didn't really like Race for Glory but Head of State was pretty good.

[Raph's Girl]

*lol*...Well as soon as they are I'll let you know. The ahem "other place" I aquire TMNT eps at doesn't have em just yet. ;)

And now for my reviews on the eps:

Race For Glory:

This was kinda a filler episode but also kinda a sequel or prequel to a Season 3 ep. I think that Falcon kid was in fact the same Falcon from the Planet Racers ep "Across the Universe"...I wonder if Raph realizes now that because of him Falcon will go on to become one of the best motorcycle racers in the Universe??

If indeed this IS Falcon from Planet Racers then that means "Across the Universe" was set about 15 - 20 years later. Around 2120/2125. An interesting paradox. Unless this Falcon is an ancestor of the one in "Planet Racers"...anything's possible.

Head of State:

This was an awesome ep!! We learned how Bishop changed his wicked ways to become the really nice guy he is now. The turtles seem to trust him now and now Baxter has the chance as well. I hope we see a future ep with his new cloned body.

Those bat like organic mousers looked kinda cool. Won't be surprised to see action figures made of em. *lol*

That Falcon kid was related to him not the same person raph's girl.
And how can you call Race For Glory or any other tmnt episode filler at this point when just about everything if not everything in the 2k3 univers is connected?

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Hey,

We're supposed to see that Space Usagi bunnyrabbit dude in one of these last six episodes, right?

Well, did he appear in Race for Glory? I can't really see a samurai rabbit appearing in Zixxth Sense or Day of Awakening or DNA Is Thicker. What's that fourth episode?

Agh, mental block; can't remember.

[Raph's Girl]

We're supposed to see that Space Usagi bunnyrabbit dude in one of these last six episodes, right?

If he did it I didn't see him. "Race for Glory" did involve a character from the previous seasons (be it the same character or a relative, not sure) but it wasn't Usagi. "Race For Glory" is connected to the "Across the Universe" ep from Season 3

I think Space Usagi was supposed to have appeared in on of the 10 eps that were cancelled before they started filming em.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

What 10 eps? You mean we were gonna have to put up with MORE Fast Forward?

aint gonna happen now that was for the next season which is now going to be a new contuniation of 2k3 and FF since they are in fact the same show reguardless of what negative people want to say about it.
What 10 eps? You mean we were gonna have to put up with MORE Fast Forward?
You know I'm one to admit when something sucks as much as the next person but I've got to say Fast Forward has really proven it's self so I dont see where the hate is still coming from when theres pretty much next to nothing wrong with the show at this point and they've given us brand new storys something 2k3 hardly ever did.
It's really not an issue either seeing as more episode will not be happening now after the ones that have allready been made.
The new show will be going in a differtn direction but they will keep things from 2k3 and FF which makes me very happy.

[ZariusTwo]

I keep thinking of the new direction as something like Superman Returns, maintains continuity but does'nt look back much.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Hey, I'm not a rabid FF hater, I just want to go back to the dark and gritty TMNT that was so prevalent in Seasons Three and Four (and partially Five).

I'll admit, I love a lot of FF, like Head of State, The Journal, Bishop to Knight, and some others. I just don't like how similiar it is to the old TMNT toon.

And personally, I loved it when comics were adapted into the cartoon. I want more of that, like with "Masks" "The Passing" and "The River" and some of the stuff from Volume III.

[The Terror of Death]

Shkoanobo took Shredder and all his Foot out in like 3 seconds.

Dread Lord and Shredder never fought. And he only took out less than 10 foot. (I want to say 3 but I am not too sure)
I know Dread Lord could defeat Shredder and his foot easy but I just wanted to clear things up a little.

Wait a minute, Putrescent seems to think the same thing so maybe I missed something.

[Ultimate Shredder]

Can someone please post some screenshots of head of state and maybey a 5 minute clip please?

[Rhodan]

Oh...pft.... ah well...I'll still of course watch the eps when I can. Only the tv in the living room has Digital Cable and it's currently occupied. :P
Unless you get it my post was parody of the scene from "Hot Rodding Teenagers from Dimension X" with movie reference for including different dimension and Stone warriors.

[creativerealms82]

Shkoanobo reminds me of Lord Dreg from the last two seasons of the old toon. An attempt at a powerful evil, who is suppose to be a dark character but is toned town by the show itself and comes off as generic. To make matters worse Shkoanobo does not have the late great Tony Jay voicing him (Dregs only minor saving point)
