New Episode Discussion - "Attack of the Mousers"

[darthsmozers]

Lets chat about it :)

Eastman and Laird are in this one too, hehe. The cops!

And April acted like she did in the TMNT movie...when she woke up. funny :)

[darthsmozers]

The backflash:

all wore red masks.

no hamato yoshi or saki. maybe thatll me revealed when the shredder is revealed. "That is a story for another time" - Splinter

An old coffee can - same as the movie.

"Pizza" and "Cowabunga" - hehe, too funny!

"Turtles Forever, or whatever se say together" - like "Turtle Power"? hahahha.

[Shadow]

i have a feeling that eastman and laird are sorta permo characters. what'd you think?

[SlayerX]

mike actually said cowabunga :lol:
they all had the "red" bands before they got blue, purple, red, and orange
oooo its on ^_^

[Shadow]

yeah i totally digged the red masks. :o)

[darthsmozers]

I hope April don't wear this same outfit in every episode lol. like Yellow Jumpsuit April did.

[CanadianFett]

Yeah, I was surprised to see Eastman and Laird again...they would make cool cameo characters to appear every once and awhile.
I'm enjoying this one, stuff like Mike's wink at the start, or Raph's suggestion to wake April up again "Let's nudge her".
Stockman sure isn't one of Saki's lackeys this time around, all yelling at him, and sh!tting on him :wink:
That split screen shot of Mike and the lasew arm was unneeded.

[Shadow]

I like raph's line "ignore mikey and you're life will be a lot easier"

[SlayerX]

BAHAHAH anyone else notice how the mousers dropped what was in their mouth :lol: in the mouth and out the :sick:

[CanadianFett]

Heh, I was gonna say those mousers take expensive sh1ts :lol:
Anyone else enjoy Mikey making fun of what people said from action movies and stuff?

[darthsmozers]

next episode looks nice :)

PS-whats the title of this episode?

[SlayerX]

woohoo! hun is a freakin' monster. his arms are as wide as baxter >_< and next week we get to see casey jones :lol: i enjoyed this episode more than the other one

[Eye of Sarnath]

That was AWESOME! :o

[Keno]

aaaaw I loved the quote:

raph: its been good
mikey: even me?
raph: even you. ESPECIALLY you

aaaaaaaaw I LOVE this show!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SlayerX]

the title is attack of the mousers

[Shadow]

anyone think baxtor will be back?! lol

[Eye of Sarnath]

He will be back. Maybe not in one piece...

[PWDESAI]

that was an awesome episode, but I'm look forward to the raphael casey ep much much more!

[SlayerX]

"We got a blank right here" *points to mikey* lol

i didnt really like the part where raph used his sai as a key... i thought he would have gone mental on the door :lol:

[PWDESAI]

maybe he'll be messed up really bad, and he'll have to switch his brain into that robot suit like the comics....

[Eye of Sarnath]

Yeah, that Raph and Casey ep looks sweet.

[Mr. Snackpants]

Cool episdoe. Hun! :D and Casey next week! :o The eps are WAY to short.

[CanadianFett]

Whp were those crazy tech guys working for Saki? They were pretty cool looking...wouldn't mind a figure of them.
I'm guessing we'll get some more movie quotes next episode with Raph fighting Casey.

[Eye of Sarnath]

Foot tech ninjas? I dunno what they're supposed to look like, maybe that was them.

[Shadow]

that was an awesome episode, but I'm look forward to the raphael casey ep much much more!

Yeah me too. well i'm heading off to work... enjoy the talkes I'll read 'em later tonight!

Great eppisodes...lots of funny parts...great action!! Turtles ROCK!

Shadow

[SlayerX]

well wasnt it in the first movie where casey said something about raph being a freak, and he jumped the wall and ran off. in this one he trips raph, and runs off saying 'see you later freak' or something. thats what i thought :-?

[Eye of Sarnath]

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that the episodes are getting better and better?

[Mr. Snackpants]

yeah, those tech guys were weird

[SlayerX]

i loved the first episode
the second one was..ok
this one was cool too :lol:

the next one should be really good tho

[Keno]

Yeah the next one looks REALLLLY good!
Casey!!! Wooo Hooo!!

[Eye of Sarnath]

Saki and Hun are complete bada$$es. Can't wait to see them in action.

[Dontebell]

like the part when raph push mikey when they are little and saying "MINE!!" that was him right?

[Mr. Snackpants]

I think they get better every week

[Eye of Sarnath]

like the part when raph push mikey when they are little and saying "MINE!!" that was him right?
I think so... though you can't tell, they all look alike.

They do get better every week! :D

[Machias Banshee]

*makes topic a sticky*

enjoy! :D

[SlayerX]

who do you all think said "Splinter" as a baby? my guess would be Don... just by the voice, Don always has the odd voice of the group :wink:

[Eye of Sarnath]

I dunno... Don or Leo prolly.

[Nturtle]

I just finished seeing it!!! That was preety awesome!!!!!!! :D Though I didn't like how they did the origin story to much, they did have pizza!!!! :tpizza:
Baxter was even better in this episode than the last and I loved that bit with Saki and Hun!!!!!!!!! Very cool!!! :shredder:

[Machias Banshee]

Hun is such a stud... :D I LOVE his voice...!

[Eye of Sarnath]

Yeah, I noticed the pizza. But it was only a small part.

[SlayerX]

for the origin story, was there always a blind man that was gonna get hit? i think i remember that, but i cant remember :dead: i know the coffee can thing was in the movie, and one of their favorite words was pizza :lol: lol when splinter picked the first one up, and it shook the ooze off, it looked cute ^_^ :D

[Eye of Sarnath]

There's always been a blind man involved in the origin.

[Machias Banshee]

Heh, I think them doing that whloe pizza thing with them so young was kinda symbolic, like how the old cartoon was the younger, immature form of the turtles, so to speak, ya know? ;)

[SlayerX]

ok, cool :lol: just checking

on that one hun toy, what are those gold things on his arms? you guys think he will have those later in the show?

[PanMan]

wonderful ep!! :D i didn't realize that mikey had spider sense :lol:

the origin story looks to be more like the comics than the old toon . . . splinter was always a rat . . .

this was just awesome, can't wait for next week with casey :o

[Keno]

Splinter is really cute, I like him (but not in that way) hahaha

[Raphael]

Hun is such a stud... :D I LOVE his voice...! :lol:

I can't wait for the encode of this, just to see the itty bitty turtles... :goofygri:

[Eye of Sarnath]

Splinter's awesome. I liked the origin... I guess we'll see the rest some other time.

[Nturtle]

Except for in the old toon there wasn't a blind man in that...

[Kid Icarus]

I think it was Mikey because hes more social... it would make sense that he talked first :D.

Great episode, but next weeks is going to be a lot better. I can't wait to see Casey and Raph interact in this show.

Any one else notice Don being a little too friendly wtih April?

[Keno]

Heh, I think them doing that whloe pizza thing with them so young was kinda symbolic, like how the old cartoon was the younger, immature form of the turtles, so to speak, ya know?


Yeah i was tihnking that too, like a tribute to the past. especially when one of the turtles said "Cowabunga!"

[Eye of Sarnath]

Except for in the old toon there wasn't a blind man in that...
Eh... I don't remember it that well.

[SlayerX]

ok, its 10:15 here. im gonna go watch the episode again, and when i get back ill see how many new pages there are ^_^ i may even watch "A better mouse trap" then "attack of the mousers" then again, maybe not :lol:

[Storm Wolf]

Well I'm not to worried about the origins and stuff.....I kinda thought they would change it around a bit :P

The little turtle were soo cute! I think it worked out rather nicely if you ask me :D

[PanMan]

that's cause they share similar interests . . . :wink:

[Keno]

I thought it would be Don talking first because he's the smarter one therefore he would develop speech earlier than his brothers

[Eye of Sarnath]

That's what I thought...

[Kid Icarus]

Except for in the old toon there wasn't a blind man in that...

They needed a reason for the Ooze in this one. I think it would have been cool if Stockman had been working at TCRI and dumped the Ooze in a drain.

I like how Shredder has a reason to be ticked at the turtles now.

[Keno]

i may even watch "A better mouse trap" then "attack of the mousers" then again, maybe not

yeah after thus episoide I felt like rewatching all of them again too :D

[Machias Banshee]

:lol:

I love watching the origins of the turtles... :D

Heh, i agree, the part with the baby turtle shaking the stuff off onto Splinter was adorable... :D I SO want the encode now... :thyper: so cute!!!!!!


oH my God, I was watching it in our lounge, and old vending machine guy came up to me, and asked if i knew where it originated! :o Heh, Even the older folk remember where they originated! Right in my home town! The Eastman and Laird lived only hours from me, and did the comic right near me! :cool: Heh, its good to be in New Hampshire/Maine.... :D

[Eye of Sarnath]

I have em' all on tape, maybe I'll watch them all later.

This episode was pretty damn funny.

"Your reign of terror is over, Stockman."
"Have you been practicing that?"
"Yeah, do you like it?"

Sumthin' like that.

[Raphael-sama]

Once again, TMNTG2 aims to please. This episode rocked to high heaven (or low hell). Points of interest:

-I love the interaction between the Turtles. They actually seem like living beings now.
-The origin story was well-done, I think. The inclusion of Pizza and Cowabunga had me rolling on the floor. :P
-I never noticed the red masks till now... I assumed it was just the way the scene was coloured in, hence why Splinter is brown in this.
-New Baxter has finally proven himself to me. Now just don a pair of wings and I'll be happy. I love how he backtalks to Saki, which brings us to the final point...
-The new Shredder wipes the f***ing floor with the old one. This guy is HARDCORE. I can't wait to see this bastard don the full suit and kick some ass.

EDIT: Changed the first sentence to something less confusing.

[Machias Banshee]

:lol: loved that line....


and April and Donnie were so cute together!!!! :D


Man, I wanted to see Splinter nail them all with his cane for not doing what they were told.... :P :tangel: :lol:

[PanMan]

well i watched "a better mouse trap" at 8:30 so it set the new ep up well . . . even if it was 2 hours apart :)

[Keno]

Yeah this shredder seems REAALLY evil :o

[Eye of Sarnath]

We'll see what happens to Baxter later on! :wink:

[Machias Banshee]

It is a good day for Turtle Fans... :D

[Eye of Sarnath]

Agreed! :D

[Machias Banshee]

aaaaw I loved the quote:

raph: its been good
mikey: even me?
raph: even you. ESPECIALLY you

aaaaaaaaw I LOVE this show!!!!!!!!!!!!


Aww, I noticed that!!!! :D Shows that even though they pick on each other, they truly are family... :)

[PanMan]

well, we'll see how powerful shredder is next ep because the P. Dragons are in it and we get to see if that leader got killed or not :D

[Eye of Sarnath]

I laughed so hard at the beginning when April wakes up... it's hilarious! "Oh my god, they have three fingers!"

[Storm Wolf]

I'm really enjoying the new episodes....To tell the truth I didn't think I'd like them as much as I did the old ones.....but they have really done an awesome job!

I really like the new Mikey! Of coarse I really like them all.....But Mikey really kicks in this show!

[Storm Wolf]

I laughed so hard at the beginning when April wakes up... it's hilarious! "Oh my god, they have three fingers!"

That was like sooo great! I was laughing as well! And I really like the new April....I think she's more likable then the old one....I can't wait to see the new Casey!

[Shadow]

so i stopped getting ready for work... LOL

I LOVE when raph said "especially you" to mike. Touched my heart. Because even though he's a bad ass he loves his brother. awe.

[Eye of Sarnath]

It really was rather sweet. :)

[Machias Banshee]

Yes! :D

*melts into a happy puddle of mush*

[Shadow]

I now understand why hun is so freaking huge. "wayne gretsky? on steriods?" jk that's casey...but that's how i looked at hun...one HUGE DUDE.

ps: what's does changing it to sticky do?

[Eye of Sarnath]

It shows that Raph ain't just some heartless killer (though that's what he'd have everyone belive).

[Machias Banshee]

what's does changing it to sticky do?

Keeps a thread at the top so we dont lose it. :D

[Reznorite420]

Cool episdoe. Hun! :D and Casey next week! :o The eps are WAY to short.They're no shorter than the original eps. Maybe your'e thinking that because the old toon had lots of stuff happening and was quick whereas this new toon takes its time like it should.

[Eye of Sarnath]

Naw... everyone just wants more TMNT.

[SlayerX]

i just watched it a second time:)

leo was the one to say "Splinter" as a turtle. i am willing to bet :evilgrin: that episode was cool:) not as much action, but still, we got to see the origin, meet hun, and see saki freak out.

[Machias Banshee]

:lol: figures, "Splinter Junior" would be the one...tho, in the first movie, they showed Mikey saying it... :D

[Keno]

I also loved the part when Raph goes "Dont you have an off switch?"

my sister was like "I wish YOU had one!"

[lhb412]

Did anyone notice during the origin when the Turtles were little, They were joking around, saying cowabunga, and eating pizza. Acting like there old TV series selves, then Splinter says: "Intelligence soon followed" :lol:


Anyway this was the best eppisode so far, the really are getting better and better.

It seems as though the reason for Raph to get a motorcycle is to chase down Casey on his motorcycle, thats what it looks like from the preview.

[Machias Banshee]

Did anyone notice during the origin when the Turtles were little, They were joking around, saying cowabunga, and eating pizza. Acting like there old TV series selves, then Splinter says: "Intelligence soon followed" :lol:


:lol: Guess Splinter didnt think too highly of the old cartoons.... :P

[HorseTechie]

Eee....! :D

Well, I ended up missing the beginning and April's first reaction (narly hubby having to see the news). Oh well.. and thus I wait for the encode.

But the origin story. Eh.. It was oookay, but so very predicatable. Because it sounded nearly identical as the movie verison! It does! It just added more scenes to see more of what had happened (like in the Mirage comic) and changed a couple of the quotes. ("Splinter" instead of "Pizza-pizza", etc.)

The story also seemed to move too fast. Like, there was hardly any aprehension on April's behalf. She was suddenly all cool with the TMNT in no time flat, as if she knew they before. Oh well. :D

The invasion at Stockman's lab was fascinating. Nice action and interaction. Stockamn is really starting to look like those big-headed crazy types too.

And.. this detail bugs me. So they have a wall of TVs, but they only look at one? :-? :P

Can't wait to see this intro with Casey... and motorcycles. That one looks really cool!

[Eye of Sarnath]

My sister's boyfriend (also a huge TMNT fan) had to call me up and ask if I'd seen the episode! :P

Ah yes, the TMNT. They bring mortal enemies together.

[Peanut]

I missed it again........curse my sleeping in.

[Machias Banshee]

Awww :( You gotta get a good alarm clock... :P Heh, went to bed at 430,, but i saw it... :goofygri:

[HorseTechie]

*wonders what poll Q we should post for this ep*

[Machias Banshee]

OH! Comparison of this origin to all the others... :D

[Reznorite420]

:lol: figures, "Splinter Junior" would be the one...tho, in the first movie, they showed Mikey saying it... :DNone of the baby turtles said anything about Splinter in the first movie. All that was said was, "Peeez-a....Peeez-a!" and "Radical! Radical Radical!"

[Eye of Sarnath]

No. What colors were the Turtle's masks during the origin sequence? :D

[HorseTechie]

Mmm.. yeah. I was debating between origins, or which Turtle seemed to like April the most (but I doubt the fanboys would go for that one). :lol:

Edit: the poll is up now!

[Keno]

I dont know....DOn seemed really friendly with April in this episode

[HorseTechie]

By the end of it, I noticed that too! :evilgrin: Seemed that Mikey sounded a bit jealous when Don and April were working on the sensor in the sewers.

[Eye of Sarnath]

Yeah. Raph and Leo don't seem to care too much, though.

[Shellfox]

Great ep
First thing in my mind when the mousers got rid of the valuables was "eat concreat, crap gold"

[HorseTechie]

Yeahj... I was amused at how the Mouses deposited their goods. I was wondering just what Mousers did with all those rats they 'munche'd n crunched' awhile back too. I guess that also answers that question. *ewww*

[Machias Banshee]

*shudder* :dead: :sick:

[tmntpower2003]

Episode was great i don't think donny will be sexually frustrated much longer w/ april around j/k :lol: I like the line from raph saying he appreciated mike and i think at the end that was a foot tech ninja, can't wait for the fig and to see the foot elite and shredder in his armor

[GK Punk]

I'm diggin' each episode more than the last!
I'm looking forward to seeing Shredder in his full gimmick, how long do you think we'll have to wait? and Baxter better be back! I REALLY like him in this series. I like April's new act, and I even am starting to like the half shirt.

[Eye of Sarnath]

Baxter will be back. I know that some people don't want to hear any spoilers, so I won't say anything more. If you want to know, go read the episode summaries on toonzone.net or ninjaturtles.com.

I don't think we'll see Shredder fully suited up for a while yet. But who knows? :shredder:

[GK Punk]

I don't think we'll see Shredder fully suited up for a while yet. But who knows? :shredder:

cool, I'll go check that out ^^

[NinjaDryCleaners]

Really good episode. I liked how the turtles grew as kids in the origin story.

[Machias Banshee]

Yay! My stories actually have a niche now! :lol: :P :D I've wanted to see them with a childhood for SO long.... :D

[Keno]

Ive noticed that in most TMNT universes they never encounter Shredder right away, it always takes awhile. I mean in the First TMNT movie they dont really fight him until the end. Here its taking afew episodes. I cant remember the first cartoon

[Donatello]

any one else notice Don being a little too friendly wtih April?


she a computer geek in this show, it makes sense for them to get along

oh i loved the muppet reference in this ep (i think beaker may have enjoyed that too)

i really wonder who that weirdo was w/ the eye thing

i'm so excited about casey

every episode has been great!

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

Another outstanding episode! I especially liked the nod to the Mirage fans by giving the TMNT their red masks during the origin story.

[Donatello]

They needed a reason for the Ooze in this one. I think it would have been cool if Stockman had been working at TCRI and dumped the Ooze in a drain.

that wouldn't work, everyone at tcri is a utrom

and i like it better that itb was an accident. when it was shredder in the first toon i was kinda dissapointed

[ninjapizza]

i think somebody had said that it was likley a foot tech ninja. what was the muppet reference, i must have missed it.

[Aztec General]

Wow I love the writers of this show. There is no question that they are writing for, and they are themselves, TMNT fanboys (and girls). Just look at some of the great references in this episode alone:
1) The TMNT all in red bandanas during their training days
2) Showing the turtles saying "Cowabunga" and eating pizza then Splinter's comment that "Intelligence soon followed".
3) When the guys put their hands together and said "Turtle Team" (I think) and Mikey's like "Or whatever we say when we all have our hands together."

I also love the villians in this show. Stockman is a lunatic, but a lunatic who apparently didn't realize who he was getting involved with when it came to the Shredder. Man, Hun and Shredder are major Badasses. I love it :evilgrin: !

[Donatello]

muppet reference


mike: a very wise frog once said, "it's not easy being green..."

[GK Punk]

that wouldn't work, everyone at tcri is a utrom



I wonder if we'll be seeing them in the second season?

[The_Realest]

Unfortunately, once again I slept in. So, looks like I'll be going to ninjaturtles.com to read the episode summary. From what I've read so far, sounds like a great episode.

[Donatello]

Cool episdoe. Hun! :D and Casey next week! :o The eps are WAY to short.They're no shorter than the original eps. Maybe your'e thinking that because the old toon had lots of stuff happening and was quick whereas this new toon takes its time like it should.

actually, ad vertising in the early 90's was less,, an episode then was about 25 mins today it's about 21

[CanadianFett]

muppet reference


mike: a very wise frog once said, "it's not easy being green..."

That was it, thanks Don :D
Man, I'm liking really liking Mike's character this time around. Before, he was just the funny one cuz of how he was and acted, now, it's what he says, and I'm kinda noticing that his humour is rather sarcastic in a light hearted way...I like it!

[Donatello]

in the old toon mike was way to extreme this show he's hilarious.

i noticedn that they re-oriented don's sense of humor, he's had a light sense of humor in the mirage & in the first movie

i think raph is funny in this one too, him being mean to mike i find just hilarious, but it's a different funny than the old toon the old one completely mischaracterized raph

they even made splinter funny! with the turtlecomm and the "intelligence soon followed"

but it's all very accurate they're funny but true to their characters

[Straight-Edge]

Actually, an episode of any show circa 1989 would've been 22 minutes, and a full hour show would've run about 44.

They've reduced that time by a minute in the last few years, but they've also allowed for a fourth commercial break(typcally, a show was broken up into 3 acts, so there were three 7 minute segments, plus the opening sequence.. roughly 22 minutes). So each segment is shorter than 10 years ago, making it seem like a quicker story.

[TerranigmaFreak]

Yet another great episode, not much action but VERY FUNNY. This episode was the funniest of the 3. What made this episode seem so short was because they explained their origins again. For us old people, we know it like the back of our hands, if not better. Of course this is a must have for those younger generation who didn't grow up with the TMNT. I can't wait for the next episode with Casey Jones. Oh yeah one question to those who read the previews, are the Triceraton gonna be in the show anytime soon?

[beaker]

Finally got to see last weeks episode and the new one.

1) Nice Kermit the Frog reference!

2) Michaelangelo, you rock for keeping the late 80's alive! Dont let that Raph be too hard on ya...totally cowabunga! (Is mikey the only one keeping the era of late 80's lingo and pizza alive?)
Loved the 'do you ever stop Mike?' comment!

3) April is DAMN hot...wow. Shes got such a cool personality, and smarts...very cool.

4) I enjoyed 2 and 3 much better than the first episode...and next week looks like an action packed bonanza when Casey debuts!

5) When the heck is he gonna turn into the Shredder? Hmmm...also hope nothing bad happens to Baxter.

6) Baxter rules...he wipes the floor with that weak little biotch from the old toon.

7) I cant wait for the new April figure! I also gotta say, still...TMNT is th eonly watchable show on FoxBox.

Thats all...its great to have TMNT back!

[Donatello]

yeah, iloved the kermit reference

beaker she's a CARTOON

i'm really afraid of what you might do w/ that figure

[Kali]

beaker she's a CARTOON
i'm really afraid of what you might do w/ that figure
Heh, can't be any worse than what some fanboys are doing with my April in a towel drawing.

Okay, my review. First off, did anybody else catch that TMNT commercial that was on really early this morning? It had Don talking, and I turned it on right at "Some Turtles are meant to make things... and some are meant to break things." Then they go on to show Raph crashing his bike. Don's all, "Take the sewer slider, my brother Raph does." Then Raph proceeds to trash it, as well. The BEST part is that then Don starts chasing Raph around the lair with this HUGE sledgehammer! LOL! Man, it was great.

Okay, the ep: Totally loved it! It was so funny.
-Mike's wink at the beginning was so great and I loved April's reaction, as well as the guys' reactions to her. NOBODY had any idea of how to act.
-They showed the baby turtles. How CUTE! Love the part where one shook the ooze onto Splinter. Hey, if someone was holding you up by your tail, do you really think you'd be that happy?
-"Intelligence followed soon after." ROTFL!
-And after all Raph's jabs at Mike, there's Raph's "Especially you." line. Aww, that was so sweet. I knew there was a reason I loved him.

And I can't wait for the Casey episode.

[Keno]

I love Saturdays!! They are so exciting

I really love the relationship between the Turtles. And Mikey is really cool. He's silly but its not overboard, I dont know how to explain it.

[Cima]

Since I don't get FoxBox until Sundays, I'll just comment on one observation I have made:

This episode only has 7 pages of discussion...was it really THAT good?

[Vroomkid]

Yes, the episode is really that good.
And the origin story is a treat !

And April being hot....I don't know about that, dude. Maybe that's the reason she's wearing that half shirt - just to spice up our all macho -fantasies

[ThirdMarioBro]

Me and a friend had a bet on wether April would faint or scream when she woke up and saw the turtles. I said scream, so I win.

[CoolWhip]

I just got back from work, I watched it and absolutely loved it.

I love this show so much.

There were many great moments in it (all the ones mentioned previous to me)

I can't wait to see Casey! :tgrin:

[J Legault]

:D I liked the New episode. At least it showed that Splinter was a rat the whole time in that origin. I can't wait until the Casey Jones episode. It reminds me of the one sene in TMNT 1. I also can't wait until the turtles finally come face to face with Saki or Saki as Shredder.

I post how I like the 4th episode in a week.

Casy Jones: "Care for a game of Cricket?"

[PanMan]

Oh yeah one question to those who read the previews, are the Triceraton gonna be in the show anytime soon?


it doesn't look like they'll be in season 1 but it looks very likely that they will be there at the start of season 2, since the story seems to be headed there (with the utroms and the TCRI building with splinter trapped etc).

[Vroomkid]

it doesn't look like they'll be in season 1 but it looks very likely that they will be there at the start of season 2, since the story seems to be headed there (with the utroms and the TCRI building with splinter trapped etc).[/quote]

But I think I read it somewhere that Triceraton will be in Season 1...one of the ep is focused on that...or maybe I'm just dreaming...gotta read that spoiler thing again

[Cascadia]

I really enjoyed this episode. This origin was very accurate with some twists...their childhood which was never shown in the movies, Mirage, or the first series. It was so cute when the baby shook the ooze off it landed on Splinter. I believe that was Mikey but I am not 100% positive. :P

[Vroomkid]

Yea, speaking of the whole childhood turtles ( I guess CMNT then?) Who's who exactly? Anyone wanna chip in their 2 cents? This will probably make a good trend....

Anyway, I agree that the ooze-shaking one is Mikey, and so is the one who's trying to walk on 2 feet when following Splinter (I just thought his walk and style resemble Mikey...imitating Splinter and all like in the 1st ep).

I thought the talking one was Donatello...cause it kinda has the same voice as the one being pushed in the pizza scene and the skin tone is kinda like Don's...the one saying "Mine" is probably Ralph....which makes in wonder...shouldn't Ralph be pushing Mikey? That's where I start to get confuse...probably we're never meant to know who's who anyway.

[Cascadia]

I will have to look at the skin tones again when they were children. I know that the one that said "Mine" is Raph

[Keno]

Ok some more on the April and Don connection, just because Im bored and Im rewatching all these episodes again!

In the credits when htey show April winking from the helicopter...DON is the one who jumps onto the rope!

AND....April always wears a purple shirt!!!!!!!!

Could these be subtle hints to suggest that they might hook up? :wink:

[Karpo_007]

Because I got the Episode so late, I couldn't watch it last night. I just finished ´watching it, and it truly seems the series will get bettter as it goes forward. I loved evrything about it, especially the origin.

[Mikey the Party Turtle]

I loved this episode, but there were a few nit-picks I didn't really like:
The way Baxter looked really cartoony when Saki called him up (Look at his face. He goes from :D "MOney money!" to " :o "What now?" :lol: ), also, Mikey running to do,"Slingshot" that splitscreen didn't need to be there, but other wise an awesome epsiode! I have guesses to who the baby-child turtles were:
- Turtle shaking ooze onto Splinter:Mikey (Look at the way Splinter looks at him then and now. :D )
- Turtle who stands up, either Donny or Leo.
- Turtle who says,"Splinter...?" That was definitly Leo. Listen to his voice. :wink:
- Turtle who says,"Cowabunga!" the first time, Mikey
- "Mine!" Come on, who doesn't think this isn't "Hothead" Raph? :evilgrin:
- Leo was the one that Mikey got thrown on by Raph, and I believe Donny is the one jumps in from the different angle.

Did anyone notice the turtles having all red bandanas in the flashback? :D

"This is a dream....oh hiiiiiii!"

"Er....hello April....how...are you doing...?"

"Ohhhh, I'm doing just...."

*Splinter walks in and April faints*

"You sure have a way with ladies sensei." :lol: :lol:

"AGGGGHHHHH!!!!" - April

"AGGGGGHHHHH!!! Don't do that! You made me nearly jump out of my shell!" :lol: That brought up memorys of the movie.... :) Did anyone notice that the guy who pushes the blind man away from the TCRI truck was black, and the canister didn't strike his eyes? :-? Maybe Marvel Comics exces got to 4Kids.... :lol: Still, it was cool to see the semi-Daredevil aspect of the origin.

Anyone notice also that in the Casey preview, that they are driving the Battle Wagon, and at the end of it, Raph does Keneda's wipe out? :D

As I change a quote from myself...er...Mikey from TMNT 1:
"God I loved being a Turtle....fan!!!!!!!!!" :D :lol:

[Karpo_007]

Yeah I loved to see the baby turtles. In the old cartoon they grew instantly... I didn't like that.

[beaker]

Could these be subtle hints to suggest that they might hook up? :wink:

Well, inter species hook ups have had a long tradition in comic books(see Tank Girl the movie or comic), heh.

Yeah, whys there only 7 threads? Dont tell me the excitement died down...granted I dont have tiem to look through all of last week's episode posts or this weeks.

Well, it illustrates the effectiveness of the new April if *I* say shes hot, heh. Seriously, she totally seems like someone I would date...fun, smart, spunky, creative, and very sexy! And that half shirt thing aint half bad, heh.

Oh! Forgot to mention! FINALLY...we have day time scenes! *whew* I was worried every episode would be like Batman the animated series(ie: all at night) That would just get boring. I also hope the massive amount of time spent in the sewers balances out...one can only stand pink sewage water and bland caramel stucko walls so long;) Btw, good to see the Eastman/Laird cops again, heh.

[Karpo_007]

Yeah nothing wrong with Day scenes, But the TMNT can't be out in daylight... Another thing I loved about the ep, The training scene where they all wore same colored bandana...

[Shaggz]

Man, this episode was off the chain! The origin, Hun's debut, Shredder smashing the picture of the turtles. It really does get better every week! And I'm more hyped up for next week than I was for the first week.

I liked how Don pole vaulted up to that turret and shot the other one down, that was awesome. I also liked how Raph sneers at April before picking the lock with his sai. And when Raph says "especially you" it made me feel all warm and fuzy inside...alright I cried, but just a little. Haha j/k :wink:

I for one like the unnecessary "effects" like the split screens, and wide screen shots that are used. It looks kind of like reading a comic, and adds a little more drama to the action scenes.

I'm really diggin' the interactions between the charecters. Raph and Mikey are always takin shots at each other, and Raph pushes him around like a big brother. Don and April are hitting it off to say the least. Raph always doing his own thing and Leo trying to keep him under control. Also Leo is always saving Raphs tail. Has anyone noticed that Leo saves him in every episode so far? He saves him from the falling ceiling in the first episode, he pulls him away from the speeding subway in the second, and in this episode he sheilds him from the laser turrets. Leonardo rules! I can't wait to see how Casey acts, and the "Casey vs. Raph" confrontation is one my all time favorite moments in the TMNT saga.

All in all this cartoon is great, and I just can't wait for Saturday.

[Karpo_007]

Yeah, I like the effects too. Next weeks episode will be great, it's based on the Raphael one shot. The series is truly getting better every week.

[GK Punk]

I guess I'll help you out and say April is a hot Cartoon character.. I mean really, they design females in cartoons to appeal somewhat to the males watching. (Sad but true)

I really don't wanna see Don and April hook up... that's what casey is for!

Now, was their bandanas in the flash back red, or was it just because the flash back took place in Browns and Greens? (Splinter was also the same color of their Bandans in the flash back...) Just something to think about

[Dinny]

I got my 10 year old bro to watch the episode, he was just staring at April the whole time. Thats just rong.

[GK Punk]

I got my 10 year old bro to watch the episode, he was just staring at April the whole time. Thats just rong.


lol... that's kinda funny... She's a cute a character I'll admit...
I just can't wait 'till Casey shows up... he's mah favorite....

[Karpo_007]

I think the bandanas were brown like the knee and elbow pads. But they were same color, it was very cool.

[animenologist]

I really liked this episode. The beginning parts where April first woke up, I liked a lot. And I also liked how April helped quite a bit when storming Stockman's stronghold. I liked how they did the origins although I still don't think the masks were all red. I think that it was because the whole thing was done in brown. If you look real closely, the masks look slightly lighter or darker from turtle to turtle. Also I liked during the origins that the infant turtles weren't wearing the masks and their eyes had pupils. That was probably one of the first things I noticed, the eyes had pupils. Nice to see officer Laird and Eastman again. That's all I have to say.

[Karpo_007]

I watched the episode twice, I still think they were same color, but Im 100% sure on this. And the TMNT will have pupils when they take their masks off, if that will happen in some episode.

[Cima]

Maybe I missed it, but how did Splinter become gray? Unless my monitor's contrast is really off, I'm pretty sure he was brown during the origins...

[Kali]

Maybe I missed it, but how did Splinter become gray? Unless my monitor's contrast is really off, I'm pretty sure he was brown during the origins...
Just about everything in the origin flashback is brown. With the exception of the turtles, who are still green, I believe. I also think that all the bandanna's were red-ish simply because they were doing the flashback in monotone. You can see that all the bandannas are slightly different shades of "red". But still, it's a nice effect, and I do believe it was a tip of the hat to the fact that they wear all red in the Mirage comics.

[Karpo_007]

Yeah you are probably right, but I still liked it very much...

[Straight-Edge]

Admittedly the flashback was in monotone, but I do think Splinter is very very dark in the flashbacks.. he definitely *looks* brown-furred. I think it's more homage/timeline stuff. Splinter was brown-furred in the old comics, as well as the old cartoon (both of which are touched on in this flashback). Splinter being brownish in the flashbacks and gray in the series proper is a way of reflecting his age... fifteen years ago, he was a lot younger (duh) than he is now... so its no surprise his fur went gray in the years since he adopted the turtles.

[Karpo_007]

Yeah I like the part where the TMNT were eating pizza, and yelling "Cowanbunga" and "dude" then Splinter's line: "Intelligence followed soon after" :lol: It seems the writes have done their home work on the old series...

Another thing I forgot to mention, I really liked Hun. I was afraid he would be big and dumb, But luckily I was wrong.

[Machias Banshee]

Splinter being brownish in the flashbacks and gray in the series proper is a way of reflecting his age... fifteen years ago, he was a lot younger (duh) than he is now... so its no surprise his fur went gray in the years since he adopted the turtles.



:lol: what do you expect? After having to raise quadruplet sons for 15 years, you'd turn gray too!

Heh, I actually did an altering of a pic i copied from NTN.com (love ya neil!) and I changed Splinter's coloring to brown. He actually looks pretty good... :D


*squeal* I am SO hapy the boys have a childhood now...I mean, in the first cartoon, it seemed like they'd only taken like, a year or two to learn everything, and that's just simply....Impossible!!!It takes YEARS to get as good as they are.

Heehee, and this allows me to enjoy my young turtles stories even more... :goofygri: :D

heh, I loved the "intelligence soon followed" remark as well... :D

Hun.. :o Oh my God, he is heavenly! :goofygri: Its good to see a BIG villain who's not stumbling around and eating all the time... :tgrumble: that always bugged me...

[Karpo_007]

Yeah I relly like the fact that the TMNT grew, in the old cartoon they mutated instantly to their full size. The baby TMNT following splinter and stopping at the same time... Just hilarious!

[Keno]

Has anyone noticed that Leo saves him in every episode so far?

Yeah I just noticed that yesterday when I rewatched all the episodes. I hadn't noticed the part about the laser but it was true, he was like "Head up, Raph!" Thats sooo cool 8) It's good ot see they watch each other's backs all hte time during fights.

Also I don't mind the split screen stuff. But I'll admit it did look abit wierd when Mikey did hte lingshot part. But some time it looks cool.

I like how the ending had Shredder looking evil and then it went split screen.

[avervisal]

Ok so I just watched the new episode and I don't really want to reiterate what was said in the last seven pages...so I just wanted to say that I agree with what all of you guys said and that the new series rocks! They have really done a good job making in in ALL aspects, drawing, story, humor, everything. It's all there.

And although this one was amazing, ep 4 looks even better!! Argh now I'm going to be anticipating this all week and I probably won't be able to watch it till Sunday!!

Payce

Will

[PWDESAI]

I chose all of them, I really like tmnt no matter what form it is.... except for next mutation :tcouch:

[PWDESAI]

heh I LOVE THAT SMILIE!!!

[SlayerX]

whats up with that sound they played at the end of episode 1, and now episode 3 when it zooms out from shredders throne or wherever that is? some japanese guy lol! :lol:

[Karpo_007]

You mean the "J00!"? It's part of the backround music I guess :lol: ...

[Psycho Da Turtle]

Argh why must my homies from the next mutation be bashed?! If you ask me it was just the cartoon brought to life. Either way I thought this episode was one of the best so far. They've all impressed me. Origin, rocks, humor rocks....**tear** the love between Raph and Mike....rocks..... Solid episode, Casey comes next week! Waaaahoooo! Oh and since we mentioned the next mutation, I should be getting all 26 episodes in the mail tomorrow or Tuesday. Hate it or love it, the cookiness rocked!(did I say "rocked" too much?)

[Mikey the Party Turtle]

Did anyone notice Mikey hitting himself with his nunchakus in the flashback? :lol:

[Skeletoncrew]

Finally watched the new show (thank goodness for VCRs!). I had a good laugh when that mouser dumped its load. Heck, I had a lot of good laughs. I think I may watch it again before work.

For those of you who are thinking April and Don might hook up (hey, they were holding hands on their way out of Stocktronics); I'd like to point out that on the FoxBox TMNT site if you click on her photo in Don's room, it shows you a letter in which she refers to them as "little brothers". Big sisters don't develop crushes on their little brothers.

As for Splinter's coloration, EVERY rat I've seen in this cartoon has been gray. Its not accurate, but I guess its what the animators chose to go with.

No one else has mentioned this, but I really enjoyed Splinter's line about listening to your gut.

[Machias Banshee]

Did anyone notice Mikey hitting himself with his nunchakus in the flashback? :lol:


:lol: Yes! I noticed that!

When Splinter was saying their names, you saw Leo, hear his sword noises, you see Raph, you hear sai noises, You see Mike, you hear, *fssh* *THWACK* Owww.....

:D

and as for Splinter...hmm, should i put up my brown Splinter pic? just for the heck of it?

[Raven]

I like when all the turtles in the flash back fight for the pizza and splinter says intelagents soon came after
that was funny
or when raph said if you dont listen to mikey your life will be a lot eaiser!!!!

[Vroomkid]

No one else has mentioned this, but I really enjoyed Splinter's line about listening to your gut.

Yea, that was subtle humour right there - showed how Leo over-complicated everything. I laughed a bit at that one.

Speaking on Leo, anyone else wonder how on Earth can a pair of katanas block those laser beams? Aren't they filled with intense heat or something? Shouldn't the katanas have melted upon contact (I mean, that's why the Turtles are running from the Lasers right? That they will burn through them...and out of nowhere Leo uses the weapons to deflect?)

[Kali]

Laser: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. (Man, I forgot the radiation part before now. My old physics teacher woulda bapped me for that.)

Even with the lasers doing harm like they do in the cartoon, they're still basically beams of light waves, and as such, can be reflected by a reflective surface. Like metal katana.

[Vroomkid]

Even with the lasers doing harm like they do in the cartoon, they're still basically beams of light waves, and as such, can be reflected by a reflective surface. Like metal katana.

Thanks for the input, Kali. That clears yet another doubt in my mind...now if only someone would ebother to xplain why Leo runs instead of reflecting/deflecting the beams in the first place...

[Karpo_007]

Because he can't be sure he can dodge all of them.

[Keno]

but I really enjoyed Splinter's line about listening to your gut.

Yes this show seems to have some meaninful messages in the episodes! Today was the trust your gut thing and in the first one there was the message that sometimes change is a good thing. See this show isnt ALL about violence! Its good too!!! :)

[Shadow]

About mikey hitting himself in the flash back... Splinter laughed when he said michaelangelo's name. I thought that was funny. Because can't you just see mikey messing up and splinter chuckling to himself. ha ha.

lets see...I think its interesting that april and don are paired up...until now it has pretty much been her and raph (at least in the movie and the old cartoon.) I'm cool with that...there are far too many girls that like raph as it is! **points to herself**

well...great episode. can't wait until the next one...95% raph...oh baby!

[One Radical Dude]

Man, oh man...that was one awesome episode!!! Can I hear a "Cowabunga!!" ?? WOOOO!!!!!!! I enjoyed everything about the episode, especially the origin of Splinter and the Turtles.

All I have to say is that episode 3 was the best one, so far. Dude, I cannot wait to scope out the next episode where we get to see Casey Jones!! :tsmile:

April and Donny? Hmm? :thyper: :toops: :trazz: Nah!!! Hehe.

[DarthRaphael]

Geez, I haven't posed my thoughts yet?!?

I have watched it twice so far, and I think this might be the best episode so far as far as dialogue goes. Really good writing.

I liked the origin story. May be the best so far. I love all of the references to the movies!!! Pizza, cowabunga, oh man these writers are good...

So to sum it up, a good into of the TMNT to April, a great origin story, the TMNT using their ninja skills, and the intro of the Hun (awesome voice!!). I loved this episode.

[HorseTechie]

Heh.. yeah, I noticed Mike hitting himself too. Reason number one why I'm not a chucker! :goofygri: *ish toooo clumsy*

And then I also reasoned why they don't have all the TVs on in this epidoe. Prolly the effect of having Raph smash one of them.

For those of you who are thinking April and Don might hook up (hey, they were holding hands on their way out of Stocktronics); I'd like to point out that on the FoxBox TMNT site if you click on her photo in Don's room, it shows you a letter in which she refers to them as "little brothers". Big sisters don't develop crushes on their little brothers.
Actually, I'm cool with that too. It might get a little wierd for some viewers if they did a romance thing (you kow, those not too sure about interspecies relationships, and others who had claimed mary sue fanfic rights *lol*)

Oh.. also reread the Mirage comic to see how that original story compared (it's easy to forgot with all these versions floating around :goofygri: ), and one of the Turtles did say "Splin-ter" as their first word too.

[Karpo_007]

Yeah the origin was pretty much straight from Mirage.

[HorseTechie]

True.. but it did have some first movie feel to it too.

[Karpo_007]

Yeah the Pizzza scene... "Intelligence followed soon after" :lol:

[HorseTechie]

:lol:

Like eating pizza like a pack of hungry wolves is not intelligent.

[PanMan]

i think the whole "gut feeling" thing with splinter and leo was just like in the old cartoon in "The Big Black-Out." When the turtles came and told splinter that the technodrome was back Splinter said "i know." then the TMNT asked questions like "how did you know . . . did you see it while meditating etc." and splinter said "no, i saw it on the 5 o'clock news" :lol:

[Mr. Snackpants]

Yeah, I really liked the pizza scene, "Intelligence followed soon after", it was great

[Shaggz]

Hey, is it possible that Splinter gave Hun those scars on his face? Kind of like the first movie, but with Hun instead of Shredder. I thought I read somewhere awhile ago that Shredder took Hun under his wing when he was younger, and I was thinking he might have possibly got mixed up in that whole scene. I don't know.

[Karpo_007]

I doubt that, In Mirage splinter never bit Saki.

[Mitril]

I loved this ep. It was as good as the first one and it showed me that I don't have to be worried about the new April anymore. Raph was really cool and his lines were great ! :D

I've turned my little four years old sister into a TMNT fan, she does not understand English, but she love Mickey because he's funny, Splinter because he's cute and furry :roll: , and Raphael even if he's mean. She doesn't care much for Leo and Donny but she know their name anyway.

As for me, well, I've been a TMNT fan since the first movie came out and my passion for them grew bigger with time. I've been visiting this forum for a while now and I've finally decided to join because I'm sick of having my friend staring at me like I'm from another planet each time I talk about TMNT (and my sis don't know to much about them). So here I am ! :P

[Vinny'sPizza]

I gotta agree with the people who say that this show just keeps getting better and better each time.

There are so many instances that make me laugh... it's great. The whole story seems to be developing very well too... I totally dig the new toon.

[J Legault]

come to think of it I didn't know the name of the Mousers until that epiosde. I remenber seeing the Mouser in one TMNT Arcade once.

Mousers are very annoying in the Video Games.

[Mr. Snackpants]

Yes they were. And those things that came up from the ground and had a cord that wrapped around you and shocked ya. What are those anyway?

The really does get better and better. Better plots, better action, and better lines.

[R-iZZy]

OOOH... I hate Mousers to death! I wish Stockman never invented them in the game, but I'm glad he did in the cartoons. Anyway... the episode was fantastic (and seeing that I've recorded each ep so far, I'm happy!). I can't wait for Casey Jones to finally come up this Saturday. I'm patiently waiting for it to come though.

[Anarchistguy]

Yes they were. And those things that came up from the ground and had a cord that wrapped around you and shocked ya. What are those anyway?


I believe they're called "Roadkill Rodneys"

They appeared only once in an episode of the old cartoon called Enter the Shredder. My favorite episode of the old cartoon.

[Eye of Sarnath]

That's what they were called in the game, I think, but they never got a name in the cartoon as far as I can remember.

[Keno]

GAHHHHH why is it only wednesday??? :(

CMon!!!!!! Saturday!!!!!! I dont care for any other day of the week anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Reznorite420]

I won't be able to see the next episode on TV! I'll be gone all day, so bleh.

[One Radical Dude]

I won't be able to see the next episode on TV! I'll be gone all day, so bleh.

Why not pop in a VHS tape, and record it?

[Shadow]

At least it is wednesday and not MONDAY!!! faster than you think!

[Nate]

Wow am I late. I think that this episode was again amazing, I can't even begin to compare this show to the old toon. I can't wait until Saturday either, I love the Raph mini series (can you really call one comic a series?).

[R-iZZy]

I won't be able to see the next episode on TV! I'll be gone all day, so bleh.
You can always wait till next Saturday and wake up at 8:20 in the morning and catch it (after waiting 10 minutes).

[Reznorite420]

Why not pop in a VHS tape, and record it?It's just not the same as actually watching it on TV...I don't know. Never said I wouldn't, but it's just not the same...

[Shaggz]

Hey, at least you will be able to skip the commercials. That will be very useful during the cliffhanger commercial breaks during the Raph/Casey fight scene. :D

[Eye of Sarnath]

Yeah, I agree. Watching a tape just feels... different.

[Machias Banshee]

This thread officially locked! :D
