Best/ worst episodes of 2012 show?

[CowabungaMikey]

Sorry if this was posted already, but I couldn't find another topic.

So, what is your favorite and last favorite episode?

Best: A tie between Pulverizer Returns, Metalhead and Parasitica. Hmmm. I think I go for Pulverizer Returns.
Worst: Hmm. Turtle Temper.

[MrTMNT2012]

Best -- The Gauntlet. Loved the throwbacks to the original Mirage Turtles Issue #1
Worst -- Karai's Vendetta. I know most of the fandom loved that episode but I just couldn't care for it!

[Zulithe]

best: the gauntlet
worst: parasitica. runner up would be turtle temper but at least it does have some character development in it.

[JH24]

Best: For me personally a tie between Never say Xever/I, Monster/New Girl in Town and Alien Agenda.

Worst: Hmm... a tie between Turtle Temper/Mousers Attack/The Pulverizer.

[raph27]

Best: The Gauntlet
Worst: Parasitica by far because of how long we have to wait! :cry:

true dat brudda, true dat

[RaphAndDonnie]

Best: Tie between New Friend, Old Enemy, Never Say Xever and It Came From The Depths

Worst: Cockroach Terminator, Panic In The Sewers, Monkey Brains and Rise Of The Turtles were all bad to me.

Rise of the Turtles, the first episode of the show was bad to you?

[Bauer536]

There is technically no "worst" episodes, so far. Just some "meh" episodes.

Best - "Rise of the Turtles 1-2," "New Friend, Old Enemy," "Never Say Xever," "The Gauntlet," "Panic in the Sewers," "I Monster," "Enemy of My Enemy."

Worst - I have enjoyed every episode, except for "Pulverizer Returns." The first Pulverizer was better.

Otherwise, why are we looking for the worst episodes? We all thought "Turtle Temper" was good. Not great, but still fun. Why are we trying too hard to find episodes that we hate/or supposed to hate?

[Shark_Blade]

Best - Introducing Leatherhead
Worst - Anything with the Pulverizer.

With all due respect, why can't we look for the weaker episodes? It's an interesting way to read about the opinions within the fandom, and finding out if there are some episodes which are generally less liked than others.

[Colonel Schrader]

worst- the episodes with the pulverizer in it.. esp the 1st episode where he showed up..

best- 1st leatherhead episode and gauntlet.

[RaphAndDonnie]

Rise of the Turtles, the first episode of the show was bad to you?

It was ok, I suppose, just not as strong as other episodes.

[Bossa Nova]

Metalhead, by far, was the absolute worst episode for me. I've watched every other episode at least a second time and enjoyed discussing it, but this one? Ugh, I just pretend it didn't happen. I can't say I'm all too crazy about New Girl in Town and Karai's Vendetta either, which is weird since I'm usually a pretty big fan of Karai. I'm just not totally digging the way Nick is handling her so far, way too much like a bratty child I guess. Cockroach Terminator was pretty lackluster as well (not that I hate it, it was just kinda boring).

But the better episodes outweigh the bad ones, so I'll have to think on those a bit more so I don't end up listing them all :D

[Teddy]

Best: Never Say Xever
Worst: Parasitica

[Magical_Guy_Alex]

Best: Gauntlet, Baxter's Gambit, New Friend Old Enemy

Worst: TCRI and Cockroach Terminator

[Bauer536]

I forgot to mention - I enjoyed Metalhead a lot. Yeah, there were some things that I felt were stupid, but it's a kids show. Plus, it's that episode that basically stands on its own. That's probably why Nick likes to air this constantly.:tlol:

Anyway, I'm just curious if anyone is actually worried about the future direction for the show.

[CiNozzo]

Best: Gauntlet, Baxter's Gambit, New Friend Old Enemy

Worst: TCRI and Cockroach Terminator

Waait WHAT? TCRI was bad?
You dare put it in the same category than Cockroach Terminator? Why? O_O


As for me,
The Best => Rise of the Turtles, The Gauntlet, Alien Agenda, TCRI, Enemy of My Enemy

The Worst => Turtle Temper & Cockroach Terminator

[JTH]

Best: The Gauntlet & TCRI
"Least Favorite": The 1st Stockman episode, Cockroach Terminator

[drgon78]

Best: I think His Name is Baxter Stockmen, It Came From The Depths, I Monster, TCRI, The Gauntlet, Alien Agenda, Baxter's Gambit, Karai's Vendetta, Enemy Of My Enemy, Mousers Attack, New Girl In Town, Monkey Brains

Worst: Turtle Temper, The Pulverizer

[CyberCubed]

Bottom tier: Turtle Temper, The Pulverizer

[Shark_Blade]

I quite like Turtle Temper, I love Splinter's retelling of his younger self's story, loosing his temper and had lost everything. Good life lesson tbh.

I'm curious why some doesn't like it. Is it because of the rude fat guy?

[BubblyShell22]

Best so far for me: The Gauntlet.

One I didn't care for: Metalhead.

Other than that, the others are fine.

Probably. He is quite a detestable guy. But he's supposed to be like that, much like Pulverizer is supposed to be annoying. That's what I keep telling myself every time I want to punch the screen. :D

Favourite episodes: The Pulverizer, The Alien Agenda, Parasitica, Never Say Xever.
Least favourite: Pulverizer Returns, Monkey Brains, Karai's Vendetta.

Although there's no one really bad episode (except Pulverizer Returns), there tends to be at least one solid moment or funny line that makes every dull moment or cliche forgiven.

[Klap Klap]

Best: The Gauntlet
Trying my best not to be bias, because then I would have to say my favorite, which is... It Came From The Depths.

Worst: Cockroach Terminator
I don't know if it's the worst episode. It's really not that bad.. I made this decision simply because Raphael deserves a better episode.
:khappy:

The Best => Rise of the Turtles, The Gauntlet, Alien Agenda, TCRI, Enemy of My Enemy

The Worst => Turtle Temper & Cockroach Terminator

Yes. In my honest opinion, TCRI sucked mostly for the fact that it seemed like nothing got accomplished while the turtles were there. It just seemed like they came into the place to rough it up and then steal like one piece of Kraang technology and then find out a huge revelation at the end of the episode. If it weren't for the ending, it would have felt like a filler episode. Heck, I felt Turtle Temper had more significance to the main plot simply because it helped Raph develop some character and it introduces a new human-turned-mutant character, and those are pretty rare already. And he's voiced by Lewis Black, which I thought was pretty hilarious.

[astig]

best for me so far is the Gauntlet. must have watched it more than 20 times with my son...
least favorite is turtle temper...not that i don't like it but it's just not as great as the other eps.

Perfectly stated !:tlove:
Except "The Gauntlet" IS my favorite! :tsmile:

[Karai Samurai]

Best
The Gauntlet, New Girl in Town, Never Say Xever, Enemy of my Enemy, Pulverizer Returns (I know the fandom is iffy about this episode, but I loved it)

Worst
Metalhead, Cockroach Terminator (btw, Cockroach Terminator is the only episode I have absolutely no desire to watch. It was so so so disgusting...ugh I hated that roach)

[Luigiperps]

Best

I'll bet you can't wait for the Chong figure!

[redsai4lex]

I feel that "Metalhead" is in the wrong category :tlol:
That was a great episode! It felt a lot like the OT show in many ways... Thanks to Rob Paulsen of course! :twink:

[Lethal Lullaby]

Best: "I, Monster", "Monkey Brains", sorry, I like Dr. Falco. :embarass:, "The Gauntlet", "TCRI" etc.

Worst? No. The episode that wasn't as good to me: "The Pulverizer"

[Avatar Yuffie]

Best: The Gauntlet

Worst: Cockroach Terminator

[ObiWanFan4life]

I don't think it's fair to say which episode was the WORST, how about the Strongest and Weakest. Sure, the episodes haven't been consistently good, but even the weaker episdes aren't without their merits. That Being said:

Strongest: The Gauntlet: (for darkness and atmosphere) & Mousers Attack: (for fun and enjoyment value).

Weakest: Metalhead: (For the amount of plotholes) The Pulverizer: (pretty self explanitory)

[sirroscoe]

Best: The Gauntlet. A roller coaster ride all ending with the fight with The Shredder. Enough said.

Worst: Cockroach Terminator. At least the lower tier episodes did progress the series. This episode was pure filler.

When we say best/worst, we're merely speaking in relative terms. This series has been one of the best, if not the best, TMNT stories ever made.

[Xav]

Weakest: Metalhead: (For the amount of plotholes)What plot holes are you talking about?

[Luigiperps]

What plot holes are you talking about?

"It's daytime, we can't go out"
5 minutes latter, they go out.




But I liked that episode.

[NinjaPug]

Favorite: The Gauntlet (followed closely by TCRI)

Least Favorite: Cockroach Terminator

[turtletoons81]

Favorite:The Gauntlet tied with either tcri or it came from the depths
Least Favorite : turtle temper it had some good moments like raph saying :we're the teenage mutant ninja turtles and the beginning fight sequence with the kraang,but i just thought the episode was meh for me not worst but Meh. the show doesn't have any "worst episode" just meh or good or great episodes...well for me atleast.

[Xav]

Best: Enemy of My Enemy
Worst: Cockroach Terminator

[jenna]

Best = Never Say Xever. Great fight sequences, great character story, gritty street thugs, some hilarious moments and some amazing shots of the turtles on shadowed rooftops. Perfect in my mind.

Rise of the Turtles pt 1, New Friend Old Enemy, Turtle Temper (minus the spider), The Gauntlet and New Girl in Town (minus Snakeweed) all very high on the list.

Worst = Pulverizer Returns, TCRI. The whole Kraang / mutant of the week is starting to get a bit old. Looking forward to a new direction in series 2.

[Vundi]

New Friend Old Enemy and TCRI were pretty great. The gauntlet was good too but I hated Pete. What's up with those nipples?

With the exception of the "bonding" scenes between Xever and Raph, I didn't care for Baxter's Gambit.

[TurtleMaster4]

Best: Gauntlet (I mean Shredder, who doesn't love the Shredder?)

Worst: The Pulverizer (I won't waste my time to explain.)

[Gwydion]

Best: Probably "Never Say Xever", but there have been quite a few that have been really good/fun, like "The Gauntlet", "Alien Agenda", or "It Came From the Depths". I think NSX won out for me because I liked how all the characters were portrayed in that episode, it had some great animation/fight scenes, and I really enjoyed the humor.

Worst: This one is harder... not because I can't think of any I'd put at the bottom of my list, but because there are a few I'm not too fond of as a whole (like "Monkey Brains" and "Metalhead"), but there are others that have certain small parts in them that I dislike so much I don't feel like revisiting the episode at all ("Karai's Vendetta" - that overly mean spirited Space Heroes clip - and "The Pulverizer Returns" - how cold and heartless everyone minus Donnie seems).

[CowabungaMikey]

Never thought this was going to be a succes :) Keep posting, dudes and dudettes!

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

i dont have a least favorite episode. all of them have been a joy to watch and also have been funny.

but if i had to pick one, i would say... erm...hang on, I'm thinking... actually i don't have one

[Guitar_Raph]

Draw between "New Friend, Old Enemy" & "The Gauntlet" (because of the smoke bombs).
