since these have been popping up every where I thought I'd start my own. Krangenstein Lives is a season six episode. What did every one think of this episode?

What stood out for me in this episode is two things, one is that we have Krang's body go berserk and act on it's own. I always felt that Krang's robot body should be semi setient and seeing it tear up the turtles and the city was nice pay off for all the times it just acted as housing unit for Krang, there was alot of potenticial for Krang's body that wasn't really capitalized in the series. Also we finnally see a return of Krangs ability to grow large, which is something I don't think we've seen since the first season. :|

The other thing was Shredder's prowess as a villian working solo. I think we are so used to seeing Shredder's slap and dash methods that it's suprising on how efficient and competent he can be once he forgets about getting even with the turtles. I think this showed that Shredder is not as dependent on Krang as he probably thinks he is. After he lost his memory it's amazing how quickly Shredder got to nearly getting the city under his control. When he is just focused on conquest, instead of his vendetta with the turtles, or being held back by idiotic help, or being bitched at by an effeminate talking brain, he's ruthlessly proficient. Losing his memory was probably the best thing that happened to Shredder. Noticed how quickly things screwed up for him when he regained his memory and he forgot what he was doing, and tried going after the turtles again?

Krang would maybe help the TMNT instead.

Seeing Krang flipping out like he did due to both the android escaping the Technodrome and Shredder losing his memory was a nice treat - he was just that desperate to get his body back. Having Shredder and crew bring back what was left of Krang's robot body back to the Technodrome was pretty much the cherry on top.

Otherwise, it was great to see that robot grow tall and shrink small. It showed how well it could attack, defend, pursue, and it nearly drove the Turtles to the breaking point - all of that while being driven by a computer game chip and no Krang.

I really got a kick out of seeing Vern's facial expression during April's story at the end of the episode.

God, I loved seeing this one when it first aired. I still remember my vcr being on the fritz, so I was one unhappy third grader at the time. This story was all kinds of awesome. Krang's body is one dangerous piece of tech so i loved seeing it going rogue. Also thought Shredder's amnesia was a bit of fun b story. I felt sorry for poor Krang. I wonder if they make Dimension X meds because he sure sounded as if he needed them by the end of this episode.

I thought it was a fun episode despite all of the issues that the main cast had to deal with.
Shredder supervising a fireworks plant was amusing. The android body acting as a game CPU was comical. Mikey controlling the android was a slick idea.
