Xever is one character I hope does turn on Shredder someday. I just think he's going to get pushed too far. I couldn't see him being an ally with the turtles, but maybe go down his own path.

I don't know about the rest, but compared to the others, Fishface seems to miss being human most. He wants to "love as a man" again. lol

I hate to be this way, but, they really need to get a black character in here that is not the token bad guy, and I think Xever could be that character that could be redeemed.

[victory_angel]

I hate to be this way, but, they really need to get a black character in here that is not the token bad guy, and I think Xever could be that character that could be redeemed.

I agree. Through out his life, he has learned that he can only get the things he wants by stealing, intimidation, and brutality. But as Splinter pointed out, that only makes him dangerous, but not strong.

So maybe he begins to realize maybe there is another way of getting what he wants and while he doesn't really become an ally of the Turtles, perhaps he goes off to seek his own path away from the Shredder.

[Eiko]

I don't know about the Shredder plot switching over to focus on Donnie, I really want Leo to get revenge on him for all that's happened. A final showdown between them in season four, revenge for what happened to Karai and himself.

I agree about the April thing though :P

That's the thing it is always Shredder and Leo would be nice to see one of the other turtles vs Shredder instead of it being Leo all the time.

[ssjup81]

That's the thing it is always Shredder and Leo would be nice to see one of the other turtles vs Shredder instead of it being Leo all the time.After Leo's beat down, a raging Raph would even be interesting to see.

[Eiko]

After Leo's beat down, a raging Raph would even be interesting to see.

Yes would love to see Raph go rage and go after Shredder for hurting Leo.

[Warhorse]

Yes would love to see Raph go rage and go after Shredder for hurting Leo.

Would they do that? I would totally forget about all of the things I have said about this show if they turned the tables and give Raphael the personal vendetta against Shredder. Heck, I would love it even more, if say him and Karai both teamed up and put the Shredder out of commission for a while. It would be a good storyline for the two to patch up their differences and Raphael to overcome his distrust of Karai.

By the looks of the teaser, it seems as though Raphael will be absent from the attack on the lair, and again, with the initial attack of Leo and him being flung through the window (Raphael is probably out with Casey trying to fight back the Krang, judging by the teasers) so him dealing with the fact that he was not there to defend his brother when he needed him the most, it's gotta be crushing Raph's spirit by the time the gang comes back in season 3.

[Warhorse]

I was rewatching some of the episodes, and one of the Turtles was looking at a blueprint Donny was working on, and it looked like the giant robotic thing that was shown in the teaser at SDCC. I was looking at the clip more, and it looks like Donny, Mikey, Raph and April are in the machine, but no Leo to be found anywhere. Or Casey for that matter. Wonder if April and the boys is using the robot as a diversion so Casey can get Leo into the van for the getaway.

I think Raph's gonna be there, but they just haven't shown the whole scene yet. Keep in mind, Ciro said the trailer wasn't too spoilertastic, so I have a feeling that the plot we're seeing in the trailer isn't gonna be the plot for the episode.

[Donatello19]

Talk about Season 3 has been taking over the S2 thread, so I figured it's time for it to have it's own. Season 3 will consist of 26 episodes, with the first premiering on October 3rd.

I can't wait for this season! Will a mod get this thread stickies? I think it deserves it.

[PizzaPower]

I'm ready to see the rest of season 2 episodes, whenever those air.

[Leofan26]

Didn't expect a Shredder / Foot episode so soon in season three, aren't we supposed to be getting a new villain this season? Oh well, would love it if we got small subplots of the Shredder in season three to lead up season fours plot. I want Leo to go into revenge mode whenever Shredder plots get brought into the picture, couldn't really blame the guy if he did after all the crap Shredder's put him through :D

Into the woods, that's after they leave New York City right and go into hiding right? Than they get new outfits and stuff.

Sounds like a pretty good start off to a new season so far :D

Glad we don't have to wait so long for season three 8)

[Vicky82]

My predictions on what the episodes could be about

Within the Woods - We know that they arrive at the farmhouse and encounter Creep

A Foot Too Big - Probably about Bigfoot or something, I think this could be similar to the 2K3 episode Monster Hunter

Buried Secrets - Think this could be similar to the 2K3 episode Tales of Leo. Maybe Leo is still injured and hasn't woken up yet and the other Turtles tell there past secrets to help Leo wake up.

[MrTMNT2012]

Can't wait! Each Season just gets better and better. :)

Maybe one of the Turtles is telling a still knocked out Leo a secret, or apologizing for something that happened between them a long time ago, something that was supposed to be kept a secret, and the other Turtles listen in and find something about one of their brothers they never knew?

[ssjup81]

[Metalwolf]

My theories on A Foot Too Big:

1. Could be related to Bigfoot as others suggested, but I doubt it.

2. Very likely relating to the Foot Clan, if Anton and Steranko are mutated and 'inducted' at this time Shredder might be finding the Foot Clan's number of mutants growing uncomfortably too large.

3. Could be related to size of someone, but I doubt it. Maybe one of the Turtles has a growth spurt?

[victory_angel]

If that is the case, I'm expecting it to be Raph for some reason.

Yeah with buried secrets, I'd expect that to be Raph episode. If the other Turtles are giving memories, maybe they are memories of times where Leo was important too them.

and Raph's story could be a memory of regret or something he always wanted to apologize for but was always too proud to do so.

[Machias Banshee]

Stickied it for ya. :) Plus, since there was a speculation thread already started, we might as well put them together....

I find the combination of the two threads confusing. One was a speculation thread and the other was an official info thread. They don't mix well together, people will get confused over actual facts and unconfirmed/made up stuffs.

Also Donatello19's episode listing is no longer in the first post, it's somewhere in the middle of page 5 now.

Lastly, shouldn't the Season 2 Official Info Thread be stickied until at least the finale is over? We still have 4 episodes to go, and more than a month till Season 3 starts.

[Foombamaroom]

I don't know about the Shredder plot switching over to focus on Donnie, I really want Leo to get revenge on him for all that's happened. A final showdown between them in season four, revenge for what happened to Karai and himself.

I agree about the April thing though :P

What do you mean "switch over to Donnie?" Donnie's the only Turtle this whole damn show focuses on. He's like the Leo of the 2003 series in terms of amounts of episodes. Speaking of Leo, he gets a lot of focus, too, but at least it's interesting, unlike Donnie episodes.

Well, we still have two more seasons. Season 1 was mostly a team effort, with the Karai episodes leaning towards Leo. In season 2, while it's been Donnie heavy, the two episodes that I think were the stand outs were the Raphael ones (Slash and Destroy and The Good, The Bad and Casey Jones) and now, maybe season 3, perhaps it will be more Mikey centered, and four might see Raph the centered.

I'm still kind of surprised that Raphael doesn't have more meat in this show, he's got the most famous actor voicing him, I just can't believe he isn't showcased more than just a temper turtle.

They were meaning the Shredder shifting focus to Donnie because Donnie can make retromutagen and as such can supposedly cure Karai.

But as we remember when Mikey asked if he can create some retromutagen for her and Donnie says "I don't know."

[OrangeNinja1987]

I'm fine with Donnie episodes. Operation: Break-Out was my favorite episode for a long time and it was very interesting and fun. If I remember right, the Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman was a Donnie episode and I recall the general consensus saying that episode was pretty good. I haven't noticed this show focusing too heavily on Donnie very often. The focus on character development is pretty much split between Leo and Donnie and Donnie is an extremely important part of the team. Without his gadgets, they'd likely all be dead. But just because the other two turtles get less episodes, doesn't mean they aren't showcased or that they've never had good episodes. Slash and Destroy was incredible, and I really, really enjoy Mikey Gets Shellacne.
I saw a post somewhere that had a count of all the episodes focused on each turtle. I'm sure Leo had 9 and Donnie had 8, so with that I don't see how someone can see the show being obsessively focused on Donnie. I think Raph had 7 or 8 and Mikey had 7, so it's not like Donnie has 10 of his episodes and Mikey has 2.
The show is probably focusing on Donnie "so much" because he is the smart guy. He makes the gadgets, the retromutagen, etc. Then he has a story with the Pulverizer (Pulverizer Returns is my favorite episode now, it's great) and April/Casey/Donnie (I'm crossing my fingers for April to pick Donnie). The love triangle is obviously going to lead somewhere. I don't think something that built up since the very first episode is around just for humor.
So excited for season 3. I really want to see the Neutrinos and some flashbacks of the turtles when they were younger. :D
And the posts above me shouldn't judge someone for liking a movie they don't. Your sole opinion doesn't determine the quality of a movie and it irks me to no end when someone is insulted over their tastes. I loved the new movie and I can't stand the repetitive insults to my intelligence.

2 things.
1. Never said the movie was good. The only really good aspect to it was how they portrayed the Turtles.
2. 2014 Raph looks like an absolute BADASS.

Thanks! At least things are partially fixed now. The season 2 thread was stickied again (yesterday it wasn't) and the episode listing was copied to the first post.

[BubblyShell22]

Glad to see a new discussion thread. My guess is that Leo may not be out of commission for too long if they all meet The Creep in the first episode. However, that just depends on what they decide to do. Personally, I think it would be cool if Splinter decided to let himself get captured as a way for his sons to escape to safety. Leo finds out that Splinter's gone after he wakes up and feels guilty that Splinter had to sacrifice himself in that way. Then it leads to Leo's recovery and them going back to rescue Splinter. I think that would bring in some good development for all of them with Splinter gone. The episode names sound awesome, and I just can't wait to see what happens. At least we won't have to wait too long for the next season to start as we have before.

or Splinter allows himself to be captured so his sons and April can escape the lair. Both the Donnie's lab and the Shellraiser are destroyed. Donnie wants to go save Timothy, but Leo tells him that there is nothing that could be done. In reality Timothy thaws out and escapes the fire on his own. Mikey tries to save ice cream kitty but she melts away before she can get to safety.

Out side the lair the Turtles (minus Raph who is outside with Casey) are upset their childhood home is gone as well as some people they cared about. Leo insists that this time Shredder has gone too far and it's time they took him out once and for all.

Donnie objects and points out that if the invasion has started there is a whole city that needs their help first. The two argue with Mikey and April coming between them and telling them they should be fighting least of all. Leo however says that Donnie can do what he wants but he is going to go rescue Splinter on his own.

Donnie in the mean time assumes leadership of the team, they meet up with Raph and Casey and take out the Kraang invasion before going to find Splinter. However they are unable to save him and take him with them.

Everyone regroups at the O'Neil residence to figure out what they should do when Leo is thrown through the window. Both Raph and Donnie are devastated, Raph because his best friend is brutally injured and Donnie because he feels like he caused this to happen.

The group all escape down to a room where they think they would be safe only to realize they are trapped with no way to get out and the apartment explodes.

The next episode starts with April keeping a journal and how they escaped and describes how the Turtles are taking everything. When Leo wakes up everyone is glad to see him awake, but he's down because of what happened and upset that Splinter was unable to be saved.

He however is able to regain the confidence to assume leadership once again. One night he and his brothers all have a vision or nod to the 1990's movie where they all mediate and Splinter tells them they must go out and have a vision quest. The next morning they tell April and Casey what Splinter said to them and they each go out their separate ways.

[BubblyShell22]

That sounds pretty cool, too. We'll have to wait and see how it plays out.

[TurFlytle]

Stop Karai-ing

Go in the corner and think about what you said. That was a terrible pun. :lol:

I don't think Raph is in the O Niel Apartment when Leo gets thrown through the window, and neither is Casey. I do think though, Raphael is there when Splinter gives himself up, because we see Raph, Mikey, April and Donnie behind bars and Mikey yelling "Sensei" so I am assuming this is when Splinter gives himself up.

I think when we see Mr O Niel freak out, and Mikey tries to cheer him up, telling him it's not that bad, and opens the window, we still see the Kraang invasion going on. In the background, you can see April attending Donnie, who was probably injured during the attack at the lair. While we see Mikey looking out the window, more than likely at the same time, this is where Raph and Casey are, right in the thick of it. Now, maybe you are right, that Splinter allows himself to be caught to allow the others to escape, and more than likely an argument breaks out between Donnie and Leo, and I can also see Leo wanting to go and look for Splinter, and due to their nature of loving to "crack skulls" Raph and Casey probably joins him, but during the invasion, they get separated. Casey and Raph are trying to dodge the Kraang, and I have a feeling Leo is falling back, and maybe is heading back toward April's, when he spots the Pizza boy and his little Tea time pal being held hostage by the Purple Dragons and goes to save them, and this is when he gets jumped. He puts up enough of a fight so the pizza dude can get away to safety with the Tea time girl, but then Leo just gets out numbered. They throw Leo through the window, and then April, Mikey and Donnie put up one helluva fight. I wouldn't be surprised if Leo still has some fight left in him to do what he can, and just when it looks like their numbers are up, both Casey and Raph bust in to save the day. Donnie, Raph and Mikey lure the Foot away, and Donnie yells at Casey to get Leo out. They meet outside and I guess this is when Donnie brings out his new invention, this giant robot thing where up to 4 people are inside it, and in the teaser, we could see Raph, Mikey, Donnie and April. They are probably able to use the machine to fight off Shredder good enough until Casey, who is meanwhile , being helped by Mr O Niel to drag Leo out of the apartment, find the old van, hot wire it and then Casey throws Leo inside, but then either some Foot or Kraang come around, so this is where Mr O Niel draws their attention away from Casey and yells at him to go save his daughter. Casey gets into the van and meets up with the others, they ditch the giant robot thing, hop into the van and get out of the city.

[RaphaelinSTL]

I would some Turtle redesigns to show them aging more, but I doubt they'd go for anything too drastic as I know this show is trying to portray them as being younger.

2014 Raph looks like an absolute ASS.

Fixed.

[SnakeShifter]

Stop Karai-ing

"Stop Karai-ing" Now that is a clever title! :D

I really like the speculations as to what may happen. Makes me more excited for what's to come.

[Ninjinister]

So it looks like we're looking at it being on Friday nights for a while, neh? Since Oct. 3 is the start of Season 3?

[BubblyShell22]

Yep, sounds like it, and I'm all for that.

[victory_angel]

What about a changed up nod to the 2007 movie.

At the moment where they rescue Leo, Raph hands Leo a pair of Katana and says "If you're going to lead us out of here, your going to need these." And Leo accepts the swords puts a hand on Raph's shoulder and says "I'll need you to."

Since Donnie is skilled in metallurgy perhaps they have a moment where Donnie is reforging Leo's Katana, and then when Leo admits he's ready to be leader again Donnie comes up and says "If your going to be our leader, you'll need these." And Leo puts his hand on Donnie's shoulder and says "I'll need you to." Then turns to Raph, Mikey, April and Casey and says "I'll need all of you."

That set up would be nice and sweet of Leo to say.

[BubblyShell22]

That would be awesome, VA. We do know that Leo loses his swords during the fight, so it'll be interesting to see if he gets new ones and if one of his brothers will forge them for him.

So, you want Don to steal not one, but two arcs that belong to Raphael? Don't you think Don has stolen enough of Raph's arcs? (I'll say two, because in the 2k3 toon, Raph was the one that helped Leo forge his new swords)

[victory_angel]

So, you want Don to steal not one, but two arcs that belong to Raphael? Don't you think Don has stolen enough of Raph's arcs? (I'll say two, because in the 2k3 toon, Raph was the one that helped Leo forge his new swords)

Not to steal Raph's arc. In that scene Raph was the one who pulled Leo out of his doldrums and helped him forge new swords.


And I feel that Raph should be the one who helps pull Leo out of his funk and say they need him to be the leader.

And with Raph, in the 2007 movie handing the swords to Leo. That was important because Raph had caused Leo to get captured. And Leo telling Raph that he needs him as well was his way of accepting Raph's apology and letting Raph know that he needed them as much as they needed him.

But since Donnie is the one who gets into the conflict with Leo this time around, I can see Donnie remaking Leo's swords as an apology of sorts. Leo in this series especially with the recent episodes has regarded his families opinions and suggestions feeling as of little importance (Both Donnie and Mikey's in particular) when compared to his own. So the moment is meant to convay that Leo needs all of his brothers, not just Donnie or Raph. But all of his brothers plus April and Casey.

[Warhorse]

Not to steal Raph's arc. In that scene Raph was the one who pulled Leo out of his doldrums and helped him forge new swords.


And I feel that Raph should be the one who helps pull Leo out of his funk and say they need him to be the leader.

And with Raph, in the 2007 movie handing the swords to Leo. That was important because Raph had caused Leo to get captured. And Leo telling Raph that he needs him as well was his way of accepting Raph's apology and letting Raph know that he needed them as much as they needed him.

But since Donnie is the one who gets into the conflict with Leo this time around, I can see Donnie remaking Leo's swords as an apology of sorts. Leo in this series especially with the recent episodes has regarded his families opinions and suggestions feeling as of little importance (Both Donnie and Mikey's in particular) when compared to his own. So the moment is meant to convay that Leo needs all of his brothers, not just Donnie or Raph. But all of his brothers plus April and Casey.

I'd rather they try something new with getting Leonardo out of his funk. My preferred way, instead of going the same routes but with different Turtles like we have seen in previous incarnations, I'd like them to rip a scene right from the pages of the original comic. I'd love it if he's out sulking in the woods, and nearby, April is looking for more wood for the fire, and walks out on a frozen pond, and the ice breaks and she falls in, he hears her, and rushes to her rescue, and him saving April brings him out of his funk. I just think April needs to be the key here, not just his brothers. She gives him a sense of purpose that he, his brothers and sensei are no longer alone, and that he has a whole new family to fight for. In the 2k3 toon, during Leo's beat down, my personal favorite part was when Leo told April to go save herself, and her comment on he was her family was a great add to the show. I'd like the same to be done here, instead of making April just Donnie's love interest, but that she and the boys are a family of some sorts.

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, I'd love to see the ice scene as well as a sense of Leo having to snap out of it and realizing that he's important to everyone as a leader and as part of the family. We'll just have to see how it goes though.

I hope they don't play the emo leo card too long. They already played it annoyingly in the 2003 cartoon.

[Leofan26]

I like this idea a lot too :D

I wonder how long these writers tend to do the emo Leo arc in season three? This is one of those few plots they can't just randomly drop for a few episodes than pick it up again whenever it's talked about again like what happened with the previous arcs.

Course, I could see it the entire season with him taking down Shredder in season four. That would be a good set up :D

[BubblyShell22]

I don't want the Leo emo thing to go too long either. I definitely want it to be resolved soon and not for most of the season as in season 4 of 4Kids. But I have faith in these writers and trust that they know what they're doing.

For the most part, the writers are great, I just feel they are sometimes tied down by other outside forces, like Toy company guidelines, and the random studio exec that has to butt in.

I predict, they'll go back and fourth with that in episodes.

Like what they did with the Karai plots, show him go all revenge mode time to time with his brothers holding him back a lot.

How long will it go on? How long did they stretch out that Kari's secret arc? Wonder how long they'll be doing that with Karai Mutation arc?

Or look how long they keep on dragging out the Donatello/April/Casey thing. Look, I love Apritello! Love it. I do not, however, care for at all the idea of Capril, or this whole Capriltello schtick. It's really making Casey and sometimes Donnie into asses. I especially hate how Casey has like 0 disregard to Irma, and was willing to leave her in the last episode, and I didn't like it how Donnie was content to let a giant worm eat Casey, that is just so out of character for him.

Man is there a way to watch this recent ep mobilely?

[Powder]

No, she's referencing Wormquake.

[ssjup81]

No, she's referencing Wormquake.But in Wormquake, Donnie was just as upset as April when Casey was caught by the worm. You saw it on his face and you could hear it in his broken voice when he said he was sorry. How is that "content"?

[evan2000]

I think Donnie and Casey just got off the wrong foo... erm I mean April, from the start. When they are not busy fighting for April's attention, they make a pretty good team working together actually, as seen in Wormquake and A Chinatown Ghost Story.

He had Donnie's back.

[Warhorse]

I didn't see that. If it was April or one of his brothers that had been eaten, he would have grabbed his Bo, put the blade out and dive right into the worm's mouth head first to go and get them. But it's Casey, so no sweat off of his back. Like I said, it's out of character for him.

Once Casey was devoured there was little hope that he would have been recovered and someone needed to be there for April in that moment of trama. But that doesn't mean he doesn't feel bad about what happened to Casey, I agree with SSJup, he was upset about Casey's death. And he would be a real bastard to feel anything but remorse for what happened to Casey. Yes, he doesn't particularly like Casey, but at that point both April and Casey were his responsibility. And they were the only people he had left at that moment.

He was also upset when April tells him that Casey was dragged off in of Rat's and Men and you see him sadly hugging April and looking at the sewer entrance where Casey had been pulled into. However the impact wasn't as emotional for him because one there was a likely hood that Casey was still alive. And he is starting to get the hint that April is choosing Casey over him even though he hasn't personally accepted that. So he knows that Casey needs to be rescued for April's sake.

Look, that's not how I see it. I see Donnie being kind of hopeful that Casey is gone, no matter what. You and your buddie ganging up on me is not going to convince me either way, so just deal with the fact that people are interpreting the scenario different from you. I'm not the only one either, I've seen people reviewing the episodes on youtube claiming the same thing, especially in Wormquake. Donnie could have gone after Casey, but he was being a dick and chose not to! And Donnie isn't upset because Casey is gone, he's upset because April is upset. It has nothing to do with Casey.

[BubblyShell22]

Whoa. No need to get hostile about it, WH. We know you see things differently, but some of us don't see it that way, and I agree with VA and SSJup. If he really was glad Casey was gone, he wouldn't have been so emotional about it and the worm was gone anyway, so there wasn't much he could have done.

[ssjup81]

I could see Donnie panicking over what to do, especially after the worm took off. They could barely outrun it.

That aside, I really do feel your interpretation is wrong here. His face showed sadness and his voice broke, like he was trying not to cry himself. There would be no point in doing this if he didn't care in some way and if the writers wanted us to think otherwise, they probably would've had him respond neutrally without the sad expression which we've seen where he was genuinely sad or down about something. He even had that sad, sympathetic look with Timothy, even though he found him extremely annoying. Donnie is the compassionate one. Mikey as well.

Donnie was also technically the leader of that little group. And as Splinter pointed out the burden of leadership is responsibility. So Donnie was responsible for both April and Casey's lives so long as he was with them.

Think of this scenario. You come home to find your loved ones one of them is shot and the your second loved one is tramatized because of what happened. An ambulance arrives to take the shot person to the hospital and there is only room for one person in the ambulance.

So do you go with the ambulance or do you stay home and try and get the traumatized person to calm down.

Have to agree to disagree. For the moment. Maybe future episodes might change my POV, but the way things are, not now.

I wouldn't say taken a toll on the show, but rather fan perception of what's the most interesting new take of this version. There's ton of things to talk about, people just choose to talk about this. It just goes to show that whether you like it or loathe it, it's good for the show.

It's generating discussion and people are talking about it. Can you imagine what we would have been talking during this 2 month wait if not for this, or the leaked April kissing Donnie boards?

You're preaching to the choir, sister, but Nick doesn't seem concern with holding with a establish audience (that must be why they hate Legend of Korra!:shifty:). If it means not having a establish storyline, then it will make easier for new people to get into the show.

Hmph. I didn't get into 24 until midway of season 5. Watched just a few episodes of that and I was hooked, and that is like the poster child of a continously run series. Well, I think Nick TMNT is slowly going to go that route. The last few episodes, from The Wrath of Tiger Claw to Vengence is Mine has been more or less, a continued storyline. Not to mention, there are hints here and there to showcase the continued storylines (like right now, we see Donnie is drafting on blueprint paper his next contraption, and we will be seeing it pretty soon, judging by the teasers from SDCC)

I think the only thing that could hurt TMNT, is the constant bouncing around the time slots. They need to find a time slot and stick with it. Fridays at 8pm would be perfect for me. But, other than that, I see no reason why Nick TMNT wouldn't allow the Turtles to grow and evolve. It could be nice to see this like we got to see Harry Potter kids grow and evolve over 7 years.

Seeing how the turtles are so young it would be a pretty cool experience to watch them as they grow up to become men. If there's one thing I want to see done right it would be a coming of age story that centered around the four turtles. To me that kind of story has so much potential. I don't know why but season 1 felt like it was going somewhere in that direction.

I may have brought this up a long time ago, but I'll ask again.

Ditto sadly.... April has nothing in common with Donnie....when is the last time they had a normal conversation (I thinks when she was trying to give away ICkitty) at least with Jones she hangs out with him just to hang (movies, iceskating, pizza place)

even though...I'm becoming convinced that April was made primarily to be Don's love interest....I mean why else is she there?? She's not really friends with any of the other turtles and she only shows up to move her plot (or Donnie's romance subplot)

So....I'm bracing for Apriltello.

That's not totally true! April has interacted with some of the other Turtles before without her being the love interest or the topic at hand!:D

MbE9q5BqqlQ

And granted, we haven't seen how April is with Donnie when she is hanging out with him. This show isn't exactly big on the slow moments, it concentrates on as much wall to wall action as possible. I feel more chemistry between Donnie and April far more than I ever feel with Casey and April.

[BabyTurtles]

unfortunately....it doesn't happen nearly as much as it should....in fact it's only happened 3 times...(including that one). for a series that's going on it's 3rd season soon...that's not much to rave about at all...:cry:

and to add

lots of shows take the time to have characters interact with other characters to develop them....ATLA/ Young justice/Teen Titans

^Yeah, scenes like this with Leo I absolutely adore. This one, the little tea time girl, the awkward scene with Karai getting in his face. I much prefer Leonardo in those situations as opposed to the one who cries about his fear of failing.

That aside, it is a bit unfair since Donnie can't just head up to the surface whenever he feels like it to do casual teen things like watch a movie, go ice skating, go to a pizza parlor, etc. like Casey does:

I think they have done all of that stuff. Donnie knows the places April hangs out, because they have hung out there together, like the park for instance. She's hanging out with him in his lab all of the time, just because we aren't seeing the conversations they are having doesn't mean they don't have nothing in common. In fact, she has a lot more in common with Donnie than she does with Casey. Like her brain, and wanting to learn Ninjitsu vs Casey's urban brawl tactics.

April's brainy? Wasn't she failing Trig in season 1? :D

April and Casey are different...I guess in this case opposites attract? Even when he did that annoying hug in the latest episode, April still wanted to ice skate with him. Irma even asked "what do you see in him?"

not gonna lie it would be nice to know why April likes Casey. I guess they like teasing each other.

April probably thinks Casey is simply fun, and enjoys talking to him about random stuff.

....ya know what, they just need to flesh out April more.

Or, like she said, it's nice to talk to someone else that also knows about the Turtles and Splinter.


OK, off topic. I saw someone asking this on youtube. Splinter likes to use pressure points alot, he's done it with Raphael and Leatherhead to gain control of them. Also, Raphael himself has used pressure points, like he did with Slash. How come when sparring or fighting, the other three Turtles don't try that trick? Why doesn't Leo try it when he and Raph are having an argument? Or, is it likely, Leo is the quickest one to pick up Splinter's training techniques, while training, but Raphael is most likely to use those techniques first when in battle? I've seen other people commenting on that too. What are you're guesses?

....ya know what, they just need to flesh out April more.Wasn't she failing because of the stress she was going through dealing with her father and the Kraang? If she wasn't smart, the teachers wouldn't have had April as a student tutor. She was tutoring Casey in Trig. I got that impression back in season 1 that she was a good student.

I think she likes hanging with Casey because he represents normalcy. She can talk to him about the current things going on in school (just like she can with Irma) and she also now has an outlet to discuss the turtles and the Kraang (something she can't do with Irma or her father). I don't know about you, but if I had to deal with aliens and robot ninjas, I'd want an escape too to get my mind off of that too.

And honestly Donnie would have helped tutor her in Trig and other subjects while she was in the lair. After all I can see Donnie hacking into her Dad's email and giving the school a plausible excuse about why she won't be in school until further notice. And I'm sure April would ask the teachers to send her assignments for independent study. That way she doesn't have fail her classes due to forced absence.

[ssjup81]

No, I meant literal stress, as in the inability to concentrate on her studies due to all of the things weighing on her mind.

[victory_angel]

No, I meant literal stress, as in the inability to concentrate on her studies due to all of the things weighing on her mind.
I understand. But she was less stressed when she was staying at the lair and only became anxious again after she got that mysterious email message from her father.

[coxfire]

....ya know what, they just need to flesh out April more.

I get the feeling, but I'd rather they develop Mikey and Raph more before April. Not that I mind the secondary characters, but I felt like in S2, Karai and April (and in a lesser extent Casey) got more attention than the Turtles them selves, well, at least regarding Raph and Mikey.

I'm pretty ambivalent about S2 because, while some episodes were absolutely top notch, I also felt like these guys were pushed in the background. I mean, neither Mikey nor Raph have any relevance in the major story arcs/plots, it is mainly Leo/Donnie/April/Karai (well that is my feeling, after all)

I also felt like season one dealt better with them as characters.
Mikey was juvenile but endearing, while he started to get annoying in S2 at times. Raph was bad tempered but also had a pragmatism that allowed the guys to move forward when the others (like Donnie and Leo) would overthink some situations. In S2 he came to me more as a burden to the team than an asset with the constant yelling.

So yeah, as much as it is important to flesh out other characters than the turtles, I'd definitely prefer if the writers focused more on the guys as a priority.

[ssjup81]

I feel that season 3 will do just that. They will be undergoing their spirit quests afterall. A great opportunity to flesh them out more and maybe show the four truly bonding after the destruction of their home and Leo nearly being killed.

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, I think the vision quests will really be an opportunity to showcase each Turtle more which will be awesome. And I think April likes hanging with Casey because that represents her normal life, a life she knows she can't really have because of all the things that have happened. Plus, Casey knows about the Turtles, so that's another link between them.

[Tiekarin]

With all those worrys about some of the characters being forgotten all the time (like Mikey and Raph) I sometimes forget that it's only season 2 now. Maybe in a few years we will laugh about our discussions and think about the great story arcs Mikey and Raph have in seasons 4, 5, 6... ;)
I'd give Ciro and the team a little more time to develop their tmnt universe, characters and plot. :tcool:

[SnakeShifter]

Don't know if anyone has posted this, but these are the titles of the first 3 Season 3 episodes. We know the 1st has to do with The Creep, but the other 2 have my mind wondering...

1. Within The Woods

2. A Foot Too Big

3. Buried Secrets

I'm thinking that "A Foot Too Far" could have something to do with Shredder attempting to expand his Foot Clan by bringing in new members. Perhaps Anton Zeck & Steranko get mutated into Bebop & Rocksteady in this episode.

With "Buried Secrets" maybe April tries to uncover the conspiracy between her mother & the Kraang.

Trust me man, I agree! I'm a huge Raphael fan, and I definitely feel the void. But, I can be patient. I might bitch about the lack of Mikey and Raph while the waiting is going on, but still, I can be patient. Now, word is, we will find out how Raphael got his cracks on his plastron and shell, so hopefully that will turn out to be a turning point episode. If they bring in Bebop and Rocksteady, maybe these guys could be the main foes for Mikey and Raphael. We might in the future get some Triceratons, and Mikey has had a history with them in past incarnations. Then, there are other possible characters like Mona Lisa and Ninjara. And of course, we still have Irma, who might be likely to hang out with Mikey and Raph more than the other two.

[ssjup81]

Too bad that the main foes for Mikey and Raph were Dogpound/Rahzar and Fishface and how it didn't fully go anyplace.

I guess the foes for all of them are/were

Splinter vs Shredder
Leo vs Tigerclaw
Donnie vs Baxter (maybe?)
Raph vs Fishface
Mikey vs Dogpound/Rahzar

Interesting...

Only thing is, I still have this funny feeling that Fishface will be to Raph what Karai is to Leo now. Enemies at first, but might become allies later.

I have that sneaking suspicion as well, that Fishface isn't entirely bad. I rewatched "Baxter's Gambet" and the backstory on his upbringing leads me to believe something could change in his views and actions.

I always had the thought that if Bebop and Rockestady worked for Shredder, that Bradford and Xever would be sidelined for them. Later they would turn on Shredder and join the TMNT

[ssjup81]

I always had the thought that if Bebop and Rockestady worked for Shredder, that Bradford and Xever would be sidelined for them. Later they would turn on Shredder and join the TMNTBradford I couldn't see this happening with. He's much too loyal to Shredder.

Xever, though I could and am still hoping that he gets pushed too far and leaves. I wouldn't want him to join the turtles though. Maybe do his own thing, like Slash currently is. He's neither a hero nor a villain at this point. I want Xever to be neutral.

Here's hoping he joins up with Karai in some way.

Yeah, I can definitely see Xever switching sides because he only joined Shredder because he felt he owed him for breaking him out of prison. But now that he's barely around and isn't used for much, I can see him just getting fed up and leaving, especially when Bebop and Rocksteady enter the fold.

I would love it, if Xever has like a daughter or a younger sister that actually ends up being Angel, and she joins the Purple Dragons, and when he finds out, it scares him and he goes to the Turtles for help in getting her out. Them saving her puts him on the right track.

She kind of reminded me of the Danny arc in the 1990 movie, and I did think it was a good storyline.

So, what's with these rumors about a music box? It has something to do with Donatello and April.

Well, I kind of do that in my Truth and Lies series where Angel is Xever's sister and she wants to be with him, but he's mutated into a fish, so he doesn't want anything to do with her and urges her to live with her grandma. She doesn't join the PDs or at least she hasn't yet, but that may change in my story. I love doing stuff like that.

But it would be cool if something like that were to happen.

[Foombamaroom]

That's a really interesting theory that I want to see happen, possibly if Xever gets de-mutated.

OK, we've been slowly getting infamous arcs put into motion in the Nick toon that consisted of a particular Turtle (Raph meeting Casey, The Leo one shot, Mikey and Leatherhead, Splinter and the Rat King, Leo and his relationshipe with Karai) what other famous storylines from past incarnations do we see possible being explored for Nick? Mikey and the Battle Nexus? Raph and Mona Lisa? Donnie and the Fugitoid? Mikey and the Neutrinos?

Well, maybe a little two week hiatus somewhere in there.Looks like Halloween is on a Friday this year. I wonder if we're going to get the Dream Beavers ep on the 31st of Oct.

[Vicky82]

Nick haven't released the episode descriptions for the 1st 3 episodes yet, I wonder if it's because the episode descriptions contains spoilers and they don't want the season final ruined.

I don't think the kids of today could handle season cliffhangers! Come to think of it, it's difficult for me to wait so long in-between multipart stories, so I got no room to talk. haha Seems like they had a tun of them in 90's kids' shows like Spider-Man and several midseason finales of Power Rangers. I wanna say season 1 of 2k3 ended and the season 2 premiere followed hot on its heels, if memory serves correctly. Looks like things might be rather similar with the TMNT 2012 season 2 finale. Wow, all three s3 titles make me wish I had the ability to binge watch everything from Into Dimension X to Buried Secrets. Like Snake, I also wonder if Zek and Steranko will show up in the second episode of season 3. Sounds like that'd be a great opportunity for them to get mutated and for Fishface to venture out on his own. I'm hoping the writers do introduce Angel as a younger sister to Xever at some point. Bubbly had me wanting to see that since her fanfic.

No, season 2 of TMNT didn't air right after season 1. There was a hiatus, hence the cliffhanger with "Shredder Strikes Back" if you remember. But I'm glad that it won't be like that for this one and that we can get right into everything without waiting. Plus, I think they're doing it this way since they went on hiatus in August due to the movie.

And, Ty, I agree with you. It definitely feels like a gift for sure.

No, he's right. Season 2 of 4Kids premiered a week after the Season 1 finale. 'Shredder Strikes Back' wasn't the S1 finale.

4Kids was bad about breaking the seasons up. I think they took a big hiatus right after the first Battle Nexus episode and then finished that storyline up / started S3 at the same time.

[BubblyShell22]

Ah, I see. I thought it was the finale since it aired and then they went on hiatus, but I remember seeing that "Search for Splinter" was technically the finale. And, yes, they did take a hiatus as the Battle Nexus arc was starting, and that was also stupid.

I wish I could remember, but was the 80's TMNT, along with all the other super popular cartoons like Chipmunks, Rainbow Brite, X-Men, Batman, did they go through with these idiotic schedules and hiatus?

[blindturtle02]

I wish I could remember, but was the 80's TMNT, along with all the other super popular cartoons like Chipmunks, Rainbow Brite, X-Men, Batman, did they go through with these idiotic schedules and hiatus?
With the CBS episodes of Turtles starting to air during season 4, I think we got them weekend after weekend most of the time. Especially season 4 of the OT starting with Dimension X Story back in 90 or so when they started airing on Saturdays. I have no idea how they did seasons one through three because I started watching those during sindicated reruns when they had all 65 of those finished by that time. But I wanna say they hit us over the head with new episodes every Fall once the show started airing on CBS. That was awesome. Especially since we'd get two new episodes back to back. Check out TV.com's OT airing list starting with Dimension X Story on Sep 8 of 90. New Turtles for a whole slue of weekends. I liked the abridged TMNT song that Nick used when they would air their second episode during their hour TMNT block on Sundays earlier this year. Felt a little like the way CBS did it during their second half hour. It'd be cool if we got two new episodes every weekend during season 3 of the 2012 series, but times have certainly changed on us.

[ssjup81]

I wish I could remember, but was the 80's TMNT, along with all the other super popular cartoons like Chipmunks, Rainbow Brite, X-Men, Batman, did they go through with these idiotic schedules and hiatus?I don't think it did. I was watching it before it was on CBS, but in my area when it was still syndicated, seems they showed it the same time everyday. The series was also episodic so I didn't notice it.

When they started showing it every Saturday, I stopped watching it on weekday evenings (I think it used to air at like 5:00) and the fairly new Disney Afternoon had started (Ducktales, Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers, Talespin, Gummi Bears) so I was watching that and enjoying the new shows (Chip & Dale, Talespin) and still enjoying the older ones (Ducktales, Gummi Bears).

I don't think you should call that obvious, we haven't seen him ride a skateboard or *anything* that resembles a pre-mutated Mondo Gecko. For all you know, Mondo Gecko might not even be a human to begin with, just like Leatherhead.

Anyway, it's still a loooong way to speculate, he debut is on season 3 episode 17.

Ooh, good theory! I've been a huge fan of Xever from the beginning and hated how he became useless after his mutation, and even more useless after Tigerclaw came along. Imagine when Bebop and Rocksteady get introduced. I'd love to see him shine again. Rahzar, however, will never switch sides.

All of us want that. How would it work though? If mutagen mutates you into the last thing you touched, how would Shredder become a bigger version of himself.

Unless, he touched himself.

Maybe, they will steal a plot from the Transformers movies, where the Transformers metal is organic. Perhaps Shredder will be given an organic bio suit from Kraang, and he gets molded into the suit as some sort of cyborg.

LH is definitely going to be in s3. Ciro or someone else involved with the show said so a while back. I forget who confirmed it on these boards, but it's here somewhere. And I'd say it's a pretty safe bet Slash is going to show up. I hope LH finds Splinter and the two team up with Slash at some point. I wonder if the rest of the mutants in NYC might have to work together so they can do the guerilla warfare thing on the Kraang and the Foot for a time. LH and Slash would make a pretty great team. Spiderbytes probably hates the Kraang. Snakeweed too. Looks like there's a pretty long Kraang hater line forming. All of these mutants probably have a bone to pick with them since they were imprisoned and undoubtedly tortured in some way. There's also Newtralizer to think about. He hates them too. Shredder's just asking to be on some mutant's hit list-- aside from the Turtles of course, since he cast his lot with the Kraang. Well, Either a mutant or Earth Protection. Always wanted to see Shredder VS Bishop. Doubt it'll happen, but who knows?

I wonder if the rest of the mutants in NYC might have to work together so they can do the guerilla warfare thing on the Kraang and the Foot for a time. LH and Slash would make a pretty great team. Spiderbytes probably hates the Kraang. Snakeweed too. Looks like there's a pretty long Kraang hater line forming. All of these mutants probably have a bone to pick with them since they were imprisoned and undoubtedly tortured in some way. There's also Newtralizer to think about. He hates them too. Shredder's just asking to be on some mutant's hit list-- aside from the Turtles of course, since he cast his lot with the Kraang. Well, Either a mutant or Earth Protection. Always wanted to see Shredder VS Bishop. Doubt it'll happen, but who knows?

Eh, what if, what if word gets out now that Donatello knows how to make an anti mutagen, and what if Bishop finds out and uses his resources to track Donnie down and capture him, forcing him to make batches of it or else???:o

Peter Lurie announced on his website that Leatherhead would be in season 3.

[CyberCubed]

Why do people ask if obvious important characters will appear in Season 3? Of course they will, its common sense.

I don't understand why there would be a doubt in anyones mind that Slash, Leatherhead, etc. will appear in the new season.

[blindturtle02]

Eh, what if, what if word gets out now that Donatello knows how to make an anti mutagen, and what if Bishop finds out and uses his resources to track Donnie down and capture him, forcing him to make batches of it or else???:o

That wouldn't surprise me. Gotta turn those people back to normal somehow. I'd watch Bishop doing what he does best if they're going to make him similar to the 2k3 version.

[Chaotix12345]

Slash was already confirmed to be in Season 3 back in January when Corey tweeted about recording it while including a pic of him and the main cast. There was also an Instagram thing posted shortly afterward that showed a bit of a script that included yon titanic terrapin in it. (As well as references to "stepping into another dimension.") So yeah, I'd say he's going to appear. :)

[ssjup81]

Wonder what happens now? What happened to Leatherhead?

And will we ever see Slash again?

It looks Leo will have to make new swords like before in 2003.Since Splinter isn't around, I guess Donnie will make them. If the dude can build mechs and robots, seems he should be able to forge swords. lol

[evan2000]

Since Splinter isn't around, I guess Donnie will make them. If the dude can build mechs and robots, seems he should be able to forge swords. lol

Or maybe he will forge it himself, like 4Kids Leo did.

Then again his primary weapon (at least for the beginning of Season 3) is going to be bow and arrow, with his swords tucked in as backup. I wonder who will be wielding the new weapons for the other three though, or maybe each turtle wield it themselves?

I'm really looking forward to this. ^_^

[drgon78]

I wonder if Donnie's old anti-mutagen will work on the perfected mutagen or will he have to make a new version.

[evan2000]

I wonder if Donnie's old anti-mutagen will work on the perfected mutagen or will he have to make a new version.
I wouldn't count on it. Donnie wasn't even sure if he can make a cure for Karai, which was mutated by a modified version of the "old" batch of mutagen.

[MaximeLoonatic]

You know what I want for this next season? I want them to undo the plot that Irma was a robot!!
I mean that was a real mess up! I really think that Irma was kidnaped before of the invasion and took her place, because it's impossible that she was a robot since the first season!

Impossible as it sounds, it's now a double-edge sword that Ciro & co. took advantage of, ie. getting Kraang sub-prime to do something deemed impossible to earn the title of the Greatest Kraang spy in all of Dimension X! I am neither supportive nor offensive of the decision to make it this way, but I admit it's a clever plot twist that made perfect sense.

Had no idea Leo was going to use a bow and arrow. Sounds interesting. I'm also hoping he'll forge his own swords. Glad we only have a short wait until the season 3 premiere. I tried to be good and wait for the Invasion finale to air on TV so I'd only have a week to wait, but I just couldn't do it.

[Leofan26]

I wonder how Leo's going to fight with the Bowen Arrow and his swords? I can predict him shooting a sword with his Bowen Arrow at some point :D

[evan2000]

Bow and arrow are long range weapons, they are only practical for stealth attacks from a distance. The swords are still needed for close-combat.

I don't think you can shoot a sword using a bow, it's too heavy it won't get far and the accuracy will be way off. If you held an arrow before you will know that is feather-light. It is probably more effective to just throw a sword by hand than to use a bow.

But then again, Leo believes that "ninjas never throw their weapons", which he did in The Invasion, not once, but TWICE! Isn't that ironic? However I couldn't get myself to laugh at that scene as it was too serious with Leo's situation back then.

[Warhorse]

Totally agree with this.

Of course you do, you're probably one of the creators that had something to do with it.:P

[TurtleTitan97]

Of course you do, you're probably one of the creators that had something to do with it.

Yep, you got me. I'm secretly a part of the Nick crew who has joined up on this site. How DID you ever figure me out? Looks like my cover has been blown.

People just don't like the Irma bot, it was a stupid and horrible move on the writers parts, and they will probably going to have to fix that in season 3 somewhere. People are simply going to not accept that Irma was a Kraang the whole time. She was too human in Rats and Men, and like Victory Angel said, it would make more sense that the real Irma was kidnapped during Wrath of Tiger Claw. Like it or not, people in the majority hate this plot, and the writers owe to the loyal watchers to fix it, make it right.

[evan2000]

Like it or not, people in the majority hate this plot

Why not you start a poll on this? Like/hate/neutral, I'd choose neutral.

There will be a poll, but there was some sort of agreement that they will wait for the episodes to air on TV, since it would be very spoilerific to display as an actual thread.

[evan2000]

After this episode airs on television meaning we can talk more freely about it I would like to take a poll to see if people want Irma, the human to show up or leave it as it is as of The Invasion.

Saw that they posted the official info for TMNT's NYCC panel in a couple weeks.


Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Booyakasha!
Fri. October 10| 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM | Empire Stage 1-E

Revel in the mutation madness as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles nunchuk their way through bad guys, eat pizza and kick Kraang butt! Please join Executive Producers Ciro Nieli and Brandon Auman as they give exclusive sneak peeks for the upcoming Season 3 and talk with the series’ amazing voice talent including Seth Green (Leonardo), Rob Paulsen (Donatello), Greg Cipes (Michelangelo) and others. Moderated by Rich Magallanes, Sr. Vice President, Current Series, Nickelodeon Animation.

[Warhorse]

Soooo, when will we get the first official teaser of the new season? I want to see what they look like with the new full head bandanas that were in that book. Will they be a permanent fixture, or just temporary?

You think we have to wait for the new ep to come on TV, or will we get it online a week before like we have been getting?

[snake]

Saw that they posted the official info for TMNT's NYCC panel in a couple weeks.

I'll probably be going. Sounds like a fun panel.

[MaximeLoonatic]

It's possible that they made a teaser, like it seems it will air on october 3rd

Btw

Saw that they posted the official info for TMNT's NYCC panel in a couple weeks.

If anyone who can go, could please ask Ciro in what he was thinking to destroy Irma?!

[BubblyShell22]

They may post it online early like they've been doing, and if so, that's fine with me even if I have to wait until it airs on TV. It would be different if they were going on hiatus, but they aren't, and that's probably because of how they had a hiatus in August. Again, I'm cool with that and can't wait to see what else this show has in store for us.

I really need to exercise self-control and watch these when I get them on my amazon instant video! I just couldn't resist watching the finale on Nick.com though. I'm hoping we'll get to see a brief teaser for season 3 at the end of Invasion when it airs on TV.

Those of you who are going to NYCC have twice as much fun for me while you're at it. Maybe I'll do the CC thing one of these years when I can afford it. Glad we usually get to see videos containing the entire panel. I probably shouldn't peak ahead so I'll be surprised later on, but it's Turtle stuff and I never could resist that.

[Megchan]

He's thinking why the hell won't people just shut up and wait to see if there's anymore of an explanation to the whole Irma thing, before people condemn him! It's really ticking me off how people are so quick to jump all over Ciro and the other writers before they even have a chance to explain what they're thinking.

People seem to keep forgetting that the whole crew working on this series are as much of a turtle fan as the rest of us!

[BubblyShell22]

I think there's more to the Irma thing than meets the eye, and I do feel that there really is an Irma out there who was April's friend before this whole thing who is possibly being held captive by the Kraang. After all, why would the robot model themselves after a girl named Irma if an Irma never existed? So, yeah, I think there's more to this than we know.

This. The Kraang clearly were trying to find a way to invade Earth.

They've done everything from mind swapping to clone labs. The writers have written the Kraang to go to major extremes to try and take out the planet.

I usually grocery shop on Saturday, so I might swing by. Mainly just to hear Green as Leo.

But yeah, not watching an episode of turtles in a Wal-Mart lol. I can just wait 6 days.

[Konchadunga]

I couldn't agree more.

Seriously people, how about we wait and see instead of calling for Ciro's head?

Here's your reason why not: Because if we wait and see, and it turns out we don't like what we see, it will be too late. These episodes are scripted and worked on years in advance. The sooner demands go to Ciro to make an Author's-Saving-Throw, the better.

To each their own. I personally liked the twist and wouldn't really mind if a real Irma didn't show up.

[ssjup81]

To each their own. I personally liked the twist and wouldn't really mind if a real Irma didn't show up.I feel the same, as the twist, when initially seeing it, didn't bother me and got me theorizing, although I wouldn't mind there being a real Irma someplace. Irma came across as way too human, but if it turns out there isn't, I will applaud the Kraang for actually pulling it off and how they should've been doing that from the very beginning. lol

They could've kidnapped April, replaced her, perfected their mutagen, and discovered the turtles that way. lol

I'm kind of hoping it's explained how that Irma bot worked. Did it eat and drink? I know she did in a couple of eps, but did she after that? Meh, I still think she was replaced sometime after the second Rat King ep.

Hey, what if they replaced one of the turtles? They already paid homage to the OT ep with terminator Irma. Maybe they could do a homage to the Combat Land ep too.Exactly. This is why I think Irma is captured.This and the fact that Irma was around prior to knowing that April was definitely the one needed to perfect the mutagen.

[blindturtle02]

Is it wrong that I'd be totally okay with that actually happening?

The entire human race being taken over by Gilbert Godfreed and having to talk like GG. Now that's awesome! If Kraang Subprime does return, I hope there's some random Kraang who tries to question his orders just so the writers can have him bounce back with a,"Ya got a problem, pinky?" My all time favorite Godfreed character quote right there. He really stole the show as KSP, and I hope to hear this guy again in Turtles at some point.

*sees Walmart logo and hisses viciously at it*

Sorry. I used to work there. Nine years of my life just sucked away from me as a cashier. A cashier so good they never wanted to promote me!!! Thank God Wegmans hired me. At least those guys actually encourage you to move up in the company.

Seriously though, that seems...I dunno, odd. I mean, how are they showing it? Are they setting up some viewing system in the electronics department? And of COURSE this will be going on on a day that I'm working until 4:30, so I'll be missing it even if it was at the Walmart next to the Wegmans I work at.

Sooooo....maybe someone will be nice enough to record it with their smart phones?

[Enscripture]

I don't get why people are complaining about Irma. This show is LAAAAAZY about reusing models. Chrome-Dome and footbots? Only few stupid humans walking around? You really think they modeled Irma just to never use her model again? Yeah right. And the EPF is 100% carbon-copied like the Kraang.

[BubblyShell22]

Too bad Mom and I grocery shop on Tuesdays. Plus, I don't think they'll show it at our Walmart, just select ones. Would be cool to go see it though.

I'm happy that we'll get at least a little time with Leo knocked out. I was afraid we might get a time skip and have him recovering already. I can totally picture Raph running out of the house in frustration over Leo and getting caught off guard in the woods.


Know what I hope we'll get? The scene from the 1990 movie, but with opposite roles- Raphael slumped in the chair watching over injured Leo.

Sounds like it will be an awesome episode. And I also like the idea that Leo won't be magically healed for the next one and will spend some time still recovering. I was afraid he would be healed over by the next ep and have a time skip as has happened before.

[blindturtle02]

Sounds like a great start to season 3. Can't wait to hear Seth Green's Leo. Not sure what the guys are in for outside of the city, but I bet there will be some very memorable episodes. Hoping a few of these will have some New York scenes so we can see what Splinter and LH are up to from time to time.

Remember when Splinter was getting beat down, well, when re-watching the episode, it was kind of shocking how Raphael kind of knocked April out of the way like she was nothing, it was a good thing Mikey was there, because he probably prevented her from being slammed up against a wall or falling altogether. This is also the first time April has seen Raphael's anger and rage, normally she just see's his sarcastic side. With that in mind, in the comics, when April would start writing in her journal, as well as in the movie, she makes a mention that Raphael would often be up top the roof of the house or barn, watching out for everyone, but for the first time in her life, she was actually terrified of him.

I'm just wondering if him shoving her out of the way so hard might come up later on in the season. We know he didn't mean to hurt her, it's just he gets in that particular mode and she learned her lesson real fast, either be quick on your feet to be around him like Mikey was, or just stand back like Donnie did and keep out of the way.

Actually in the movie, Raphael didn't knock April unconscious at the subway, it was a Foot Ninja.

Or did I read the post wrong. I'm sorry.

Does anyone think we might see some nods to "The River" story arc in this season since they're out in the wilderness?

I'm happy that we'll get at least a little time with Leo knocked out. I was afraid we might get a time skip and have him recovering already. I can totally picture Raph running out of the house in frustration over Leo and getting caught off guard in the woods.

I'm looking forward to this ep. Please bring on the emotions.

I hope Season 3 is 4kids oriented with Bishop, Hun and mystic powers.

I don't expect it, but that would definitely be the bees knees. It'd prolly have to be a subtle nod, though, as I don't even think IDW can reprint that story.

I wonder what they mean by Leo not healing? Out of it from what happened? Or emotionally wise like what happened with the 4Kids series? Wonder how Seth Green will handle those scenes? They'll be an emotional roller coaster ride for him.

Raph of all turtles being the first to get caughtXD I'm sure it's out of anger and frustration he didn't see that coming but.

Can't wait for it though.
