"I would rather die on my feet... Than live on my knees!!!"

LEATHERHEAD HAS RETURNED

http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/ag109/NostalgiaGeek/252e0e81-2683-4390-a521-566831fa68f8_zps05093d67.png

That was without a doubt the greatest thing I have EVER SEEN!!!!!

Wow.... Where to begin...

-Leatherhead has been fighting! Spying on the Kraang! He can breathe the air in Dimension X!

-It's been decades for him... He's gotten older..... gained many new battle scars..... But he's still full of life... just as strong and powerful... If not even more!!!!! He is a mutant alligator after all..... His time in Dimension X has forged him into a wise and powerful warrior!!!!!

-That fight scene at the beginning was glorious... Pure unfiltered rage towards the Kraang!!!!! That Death Roll!!!!! The way he just took all those bullets head on!!!!

-While in Dimension X he adopted a battle staff/club made of Kraang rock!

-They tortured him... But he would never give in!!!!!

-Leatherhead is a fighter... a warrior... Even after all this he was still willing to stay behind to save them!

"Not this time buddy!"

*bumps through portal*

"I'm okay..."

:D

-That big high five at the end was the PERFECT ending!!!! This episode has brought me nothing but feelings of hope and happiness!!!! I'm really at a loss for words at just how incredible this episode was!!!!


Welcome back buddy... WELCOME HOME!!!! :D

[MrTMNT2012]

AMAZING Episode! Won't go into detail yet, but wow! :D This should've been the returning episode instead of that stupid ghost episode.

[Jester]

Man, what is Nick doing? This doesn't seem like a bright move.

*will totally watch later*

[Mellie]

Great episode! :D

[MikeandRaph87]

Is it tomorrow morning that The Chinatown Ghost Story is supposed to air? I do wonder if posting these episodes prematurely is going to hurt the ratings? Speaking for myself,I would not watch the premire of an episode if I already have seen it online few days before.Unless all the pre-air views count towards ratings than its not smart on Nick's part IMHO.

Once I get back from Friday Night Lights I will have to check the episode out.

Ratings I feel mean nothing for the show. At this point, it's about money and demand.

The movie made big money, the toys are still making big money, and demand is still an all time high. Plus being they're still putting the episodes on ITunes the day they're released on TV means they'll still make profit on the side as a turn around for any lost ratings.

[snake]

Watched it. AMAZING episode,

[ssjup81]

Extensive summary please? Pretty please with all of Mikey's pizza toppings on top? ^^

I was told by the doctor I must stay in the hospital for two more weeks. Altogether that means I will be here a full month.

For this ep, not sure I can watch it yet. I don't have the cellular data too atm.

So, please can anyone tell me more about Mikey for this ep?

[Donatello19]

Nick has the full episode on their website for free!

Hopefully this will suffice for now... I hope you get well soon!

The episode starts with Leatherhead running in a Kraang facility in Dimension X. He escapes with a power cell made from the powerful rock in the area. He is discovered by kraang troops, and THE GREATEST FIGHT EVER ENSUES... Heh.. um... Anyways, they eventually overpower and capture him, but not before he uses a kraang orb to send out a message to the turtles...

Meanwhile in Donnie's lab, Donnie is trying to crack the secrets of the portable portal, when suddenly it's activated by accident. It opens to Dimension X, and the signal from Leatherhead reaches the orb in the lab. The turtles must save him! They tell Mikey that because he's been messing up too much lately that he couldn't come... Mikey, having memories of Leatherhead, decides to jump straight into the portal... being separated from his brothers who jump in moments later after him.

In Dimension X, the turtles are looking for Mikey while Leatherhead is being tortured in captivity. Eventually he finds them, and he is a survival expert! Able to use the physics of Dimension X to his full advantage! He even takes down two rock soldiers! The turtles and Mikey then go to the Kraang facility where Leatherhead is being held.

They find him and set him free. He explains he has been in Dimension X spying on the Kraang for decades, and that he had to contact them when he learned they have perfected the mutagen. They enter the Kraangdroid facility, where many portals are active. A huge battle ensues, and the turtles cause much damage to the facilty. Leatherhead says he'll stay while they escape, but Mikey pushes him back to earth. As Mikey escapes through the portal, he breaks off a piece of the Kraang rock energy source which detonates the entire facility.

Back on earth, the turtles and Leatherhead talk about the impending invasion. They have about a day to act due to the time shift. They realize the time has come to fight, and all high 3 for the final shot.

According to my carrier, I'll get another 1GB of data on Monday, so if there's a mobile version maybe I can see it. Every three days, I can use up to 1GB of cellular data since I went over my initial amount my first week here. I didn't even know of this and I've had this cell service for a little over two years. I apparently have 7GB a month of cellular data.

Good writer. That episode was also one of my favourites in the entire series!

[Donatello19]

This episode was AMAZING! Possibly my favorite S2 episode yet! Leatherhead, Mikey, Dimension X...everything was just awesome! This really has me pumped for the finale! :D

[Electric]

incredible episode. one of the first i thouroghly enjoyed mikey

the leo/mikey fighting for leadership was a nice little added dynamic

some badass scenes for each turtle, and LH

great set up for the finale. now:

impending invasion

the powersource for the turtle mech

i even think they set up a little bit of donnie leo tension here. not with leo directly, but when donnie was pretty vocal about his belief they should retreat. him speaking up against a plan is something we havent exactly seen until now

[Powder]

To me this felt VERY Mirage, I wonder if Doug is a fan/reader of the old books. Also there were at least 2 or 3 visual nods to Turtles In Time. Combining the two illest versions of TMNT for inspiration, I like this guy.

[Donatello19]

Hopefully he'll do a lot more episodes! This one was just great in every way...Kraang episodes are usually my least favorite kind of episodes, but this one was so good!

And now I'm looking forward to buying the Savage Mikey figure :P

[kolaida]

I loved it! Every second of it!

[Warhorse]

Great episode. Did anybody catch the implied impaling of a Krang by LH? And the whole Raphael vs the Krang droid in a boxing match, I saw something similar in Captain America 2, which was awesome. And Leo ignoring his first rule about not touching anything!:lol::lol::lol: He really is a teddy bear on this show when not provoked.

[LH]

Great episode. Did anybody catch the implied impaling of a Krang by LH?

Yeah!!! Stabbed him right IN THE FACE!!! :D

My apologies Machias... Thank you for the sticky.

[MikeandRaph87]

My apologies Machias... Thank you for the sticky.

Its just we are so eager to watch the episode and if you watch a program its only natural to want to talk about it. What if,from now n if Nick released an episode prematurely online you post a link to it in the episode guide thread and let Machias create the thread for it once she has tine after its discovered.

[NinjaPug]

Man, that episode was absolutely fantastic. Dimension X looked awesome and it was great to finally get a new setting for an episode. I hope Nick ups their budget a little for S3 so they can explore some new locations.

So great to finally have Leatherhead back.

Also cool to see Traag again with Granitor at his side (even if they didn't really change the design outside the color scheme).

That is a good method for future episodes... However from now on I'll just let you all create the threads... This episode was very special to me, and I was very eager to celebrate it. :)

:( I wouldn't say that, I like the formality of it.



I liked this episode. I loved how Zany Dimension X was. That giggling thing with the green mist on top of the monster made me laugh out loud.

[Luckyday]

Me through out the entire episode.

ooo-kay, either Nick isn't relying on TV ratings or whomever is operating the Nick website is going to be fired soon.

Still, it's nice to get these a week ahead of schedule. True, I have to sit through Lego Friend commercials and Dolphin Tale 2 trailers, but it's worth it! Besides, I'm still contributing to the show since I already bought the seasons in full on iTunes, so hopefully that counts for something.

This was a great Mikey episode, especially for someone who has never been a huge Mikey fan, no matter what version it is. (Take that back. IDW Mikey's pretty sweet.) I just wish they wouldn't force his goofing up humor so much. Like him, pulling the TV to show Donnie the show or just banging the communication device against the wall. I get how the episode is supposed to teach us that Mikey shouldn't be underestimated and how he's not always a goof, but I feel they sort of hammer it in a bit too hard at times. They're trying to pull him down to Patrick Star level and that's not right. Just because Mikey's "the wild one", doesn't mean he's totally incompetent.

I like how there's a time differential between dimensions, but it makes me wonder something. True, Mikey went into the portal 15 seconds ahead of his brothers. Soon, Raph and Leo followed behind, and Donnie went in like 3 seconds after them. According to that math, wouldn't Raph and Leo have been in there a few days/months ahead of Donnie? Yet all three got in at the same time?

.....I'm just nitpicking, aren't I? Still, it does sort of make you wonder just how much time differs from our dimension. They destroyed the Kraang facility, so it would take the Kraang months or even a few years in their time to rebuild before another invasion starts, which means that the invasion could happen at any moment in our world......

hey, does anyone know where I can find a gif of Mikey's head exploding from "Pizza Face" because that's pretty much what's going on in my head right now. And I call myself a Doctor Who fan....

[Luckyday]

Maybe they're taking notes from Legend of Korra and seeing if it works for them?

Look, unless you are an actual nielsen family member, you have nothing to worry about if you watch the show online a week before or not. And even then, the nielsen members are really only about 5,000 to 25,000 households. Kind of pathetic when you realize more than 300 million people live in this country. They are probably getting tons of money from toy sales as it is, and maybe they are also generating money from increased traffic on their website, so don't sweat it about ratings.

yea I had that problem too......I feel so bad for not enjoying it as much as I wanted to because I didn't like the goofy humor....Mikey has been stuck there for months (I'm guessing) and he seems totally fine...

but other than that it was pretty cool :3 much better than last episode!

I had that feeling for like five minutes but then I'm all like "aw screw it. It's Mikey's time to shine." but still...it's a tinesy bit ham fisted just watching this episode had made me realized of how much I love Michelangelo. Hell. This whole episode felt like fan service made especially for me.

That's what I'm saying! I had this whole prediction set up where Mikey meets these rebels who had been fighting the Kraang and he helps them out in order to save Leatherhead, but then messes up and the rebellion gets ruined, thus making him go through this huge character change. Like he vows never to be a goof again and he becomes bitter and angst-ridden. Either that or living in that place all that time has sort of toughened his skin and made him grow up faster, like what Robin Williams' character in Jumanji went through.

I really hope they go back to making him immature instead of just...stupid in the next season. I can't say I've been crazy about the character development this season.

[CyberCubed]

Nobody noticed Mikey called them Traag and Granitor?

[Luckyday]

Nobody noticed Mikey called them Traag and Granitor?

Leatherhead said Traag's name out loud once.

[CyberCubed]

I loved the gag of Mikey thinking they were TV characters and people were watching them.

Also save to say the Turtles will be watching a new show in Season 3, since the anime show is over like the Star Trek one before that. Wonder what they'll watch next?

[Jester]

Well, looks like my teaser threads are no longer needed... or wanted...

*stickies thread*
Hard to do those when Nick is releasing the episodes so early. Not your fault, really.

[Luckyday]

Maybe it will be sitcom of a parental cephalopod living in the suburbs?

Anyone notice that they never get to watch the finale? Also, now wouldn't Mikey be the oldest turtle?

[Warhorse]

Anyone notice that they never get to watch the finale? Also, now wouldn't Mikey be the oldest turtle?

Depends. They could go the route that Next Mutation did where the Turtles weren't even from the same batch, and they actually might be completely different breeds altogether, and maybe they are even aged more far apart than a few seconds/minutes/days or months, but perhaps years. But, more than likely, it might be a running gag that Mikey is now aged older than the rest and he might pull that one once in a while when he thinks his other brothers aren't taking him seriously.

[snake]

All those Dolphin Tale 2 Commericals every 5 minutes. :teek:

[Warhorse]

So, unless I am forgetting something, we have had Leo and Raph and now Mikey telling the bad guys to "get away from my brother!" Donnie hasn't had that chance yet, has he?

I'm calling it! I really think it's going to be a Smurfs spoof.

[Metalwolf]

Couple things I noticed in this episode:

Those blister-like things on the sides of the Kraathatrogen that the Kraang get their mutagen from are actually breasts or udders that baby Kraatharogen nurse from!

If time passes a lot faster in Dimension X, then wouldn't it mean that the some of the Kraang might actually be hundreds of years old?

[Vicky82]

Oh My God, this episode was amazing. Mikey was awesome, he developed so much in this episode, hope it continues.

Will post thoughts late.

[RandomtasticFantasy]

So, unless I am forgetting something, we have had Leo and Raph and now Mikey telling the bad guys to "get away from my brother!" Donnie hasn't had that chance yet, has he?

His brothers are not April. :p. I kid, I hope it'll come during the finale: hell, I expect it to.

Loved this episode so much: great action, a Mikey-centric episode, Leatherhead making an impressive comeback and an excellent set up for the finale.

[Aaronardo]

Yeesh, Nickelodeon, it's just stupid choice after stupid choice for you, isn't it?
Not going to watch this episode since I'll be away and I'd just rather watch this episode on TV (Chinatown Ghost Story came off as a much better episode for me on TV than on my phone. I really have no idea why).

[TurtleTitan97]

Awesome episode overall. It was great to see Leatherhead come back.

Yeah, I totally thought that scene where the turtles journey into Dimension X looked a lot like the cut scene in Turtles in Time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VpsdSH_LAU#t=02m30s).

[CyberCubed]

I wonder how they can include Triceratons when Dimension X is a barren wasteland?

[victory_angel]

Maybe the Triceraton's aren't from Dimention X but actually from another world entirely.

[OrangeNinja1987]

Awesome episode! There were a few things that felt off but this was definitely one of the best episodes of season 2, (and that's saying something, since the good episodes of season 2 have been awesome, with a couple misfires). I'd really like to see Mikey continue to develop, staying funny but still becoming a better fighter and less clumsy. Dimension X was awesome looking and I loved the weird gravity.
How long were the turtles gone? Have Splinter and April been searching for them for weeks, or in the case of Mikey, months? I'd like to see that addressed.
One problem I had with this episode was that Raphael and Leonardo felt off most of the time. May be partly due to Leo's voice change, which I am still not used to (Green better be good). Not that I hated how they acted this episode - they just felt out of character. That's a small nitpick.
Favorite moments for me were probably when Donatello stood underneath Leo because of the messed up gravity and when Leatherhead said, "I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees!" and Donnie yelled "Well, I don't! I have kneepads!" :lol:

[The Turtle Terminator]

Hang on, were the Triceratons in this episode?!

[Vicky82]

My thoughts

I'll put under spoilers just incase


Wow this episode was amazing, it had lots of action and the visuals and music were great. Mikey was awesome, he was more focused and mature.
Mikey knew what he was doing as he knew how Dimension X worked and it was awesome that he took the leader role.

Leatherhead returns, he's been spying and destroying Kraang. he's more older as he's been in Dimension X for decades, he has more battlescars too.
Leatherhead just killed a Kraang. :teek:
Leo, Raph and Mikey watching the last episode of Robo Mecha Force but why are they watching it in Mikey's bedroom.
Robo Mecha Force final episode is Foreshadowing the TMNT final episode.
Awww at Mikey face when Leo said that he's been messing up lately.
Loved the memory pics , that last pic of Mikey and Leatherhead, my heart, so cute
Mikey risks his life and runs through the portal into Dimension X on his own and into an unknown world, he must really care about Leatherhead.
Leo, Raph and Donnie go in after him.
Wow Dimension X is a crazy place.
Leo, Raph and Donnie fighting some electric worm things
Loved the shot wear Leo is covering Donnie's mouth when they hide from electric worms
Awww! Raph is worried about Mikey.
Yikes! Leo nearly gets impailed with that shard falls near him. :teek:
Poor Leatherhead being tortured.
Leo says, don't touch anything but he ignores it when he sees a cute creature.
Leo mimicking that cute creature 'Mop Mop' 'Mop Mop' lol :lol:
Cute creature isn't cute, it's a big ass monster and it goes after the guys.
Wow! Mikey swings in and saves his brothers, loved the 'keep away from my brothers' line.
The time difference between earth and Dimension X, reminds me of Gargoyles, 1 hour on Avalon is 1 day in the main world.
WoW! Mikey acting mature and knows how Dimension X works.
Yuck! Mikey eating some worm slime.
Mikey, hanging upside down like Spiderman.
Mikey taking on Granitor and Traag on his own.
Mikey taking on the leader role is awesome. :D
Loved the final fight with the Kraang
Lol, Leo asks Leatherhead to give him a lift and leatherhead grabs him by the face and throws him.:lol:
Lol at Raph having a boxing match with a Kraang droid, :lol:
Lol at the different shaped portals.
Lol Mikey pushing Donnie out of the way to get the portal up
Awww! Mikey thinks he's going to be back being a screw up now he's back on earth :cry:
Loved the high 3 at the end.:D

Best Mikey centric episode so far. This episode proved that Mikey, shines best when he’s on his own and he can figure out solutions.
Hopefully now he can come up with good ideas, and has this newfound self-confidence, he can take that forward in upcoming episodes. Hope his development sticks.

Can't wait till the season final, I wonder if it be released online early.

Ok, this has to be the most adorable pic ever.

Precisely! & though it's not new or exclusive to this episode, every time the turtles get electrocuted it looks like this- http://i61.tinypic.com/b66bf8.png

Also, The Kraang had a spidery lookin' robot thing that reminded me of one of the droids from the game. The little round one whose head pops up to shoot lasers.

[Leofan26]

So, unless I am forgetting something, we have had Leo and Raph and now Mikey telling the bad guys to "get away from my brother!" Donnie hasn't had that chance yet, has he?

I have a feeling Donnie will say in the final :P

I hate how Nick's been handling action shows lately, this is the third time they've spoiled a show for us. First time? Showing scenes of book four from Legend of Korra for a promo of book three :roll:

Well, I was worried about Mikey's character in this show but they can do great things for him when they want to, this was a great episode for him and actually made him like able for me, hopefully it sticks but...Hopefully they'll give a good one for Raph too soon :)

Poor Leo, just hasn't been a good year for him :lol:

Good episode, can't wait for the final :D

[victory_angel]

The time difference between earth and Dimension X, reminds me of Gargoyles, 1 hour on Avalon is 1 day in the main world.

Actually I got a Narnia vibe because they had that moment where Lucy goes into Narnia and she is gone for hours. And when she gets back to her world she she learns only seconds have passed since she had entered the Wardrobe.

How long were the turtles gone? Have Splinter and April been searching for them for weeks, or in the case of Mikey, months? I'd like to see that addressed.

I don't think any time as passed for Splinter or April. While time runs faster in Dimension X such as Leatherhead being gone for at least six months now telling the Turtles that he had been in Dimention X for decades.

Or sever months passing in the span of several seconds for Mikey. So on Earth no time has actually passed since they have entered it Dimention X itself.

[drgon78]

Fun episode though it would have been better if it was a two parter.

[CyberCubed]

Fun episode though it would have been better if it was a two parter.

Technically it is a 2-parter, since the next episode deals with the Kraang coming to Earth and Leatherhead sticks around.

[drgon78]

If that was the case then we would have a three parter since the next two episodes will be a two parter.:lol:

[Donatello19]

If that was the case then we would have a three parter since the next two episodes will be a two parter.:lol:

All three episodes are still a part of one continuous story, whether they're named accordingly or not.

[ssjup81]

Is there a mobile version of the ep yet?

[MrTMNT2012]

Did this Mikey remind anyone else of the 'Same as it Never Was' 03 Mikey? It was actually kind of badass!

[snake]

Is there a mobile version of the ep yet?

Yes. On the Nick app.

[oldmanwinters]

Also, The Kraang had a spidery lookin' robot thing that reminded me of one of the droids from the game. The little round one whose head pops up to shoot lasers.

Hey, I hadn't thought of that one!

I think those little buggers were based off a robot that appeared in some of the early Mirage Vol. 1 comics... maybe they were part of the TCRI security?

[Warhorse]

Fun episode though it would have been better if it was a two parter.

Yes, my only nitpick would be, that the first part could have been just Mikey trying to figure out Dimension X (out of all of the Turtles, Mikey has to be the only one we really have't seen go off on his own too much like the other three do.) Then the second part could have been what we seen. I would have done that and just completely scrapped China Town Ghost Story, because that episode did nothing, in terms of character development or story improvement at all.

[ssjup81]

Yes. On the Nick app.That doesn't involve my having to download a new App? ^^. I can only do one or the other.

[Gorilla Grodd]

Loved this episode. Mikey's always been my favorite and one of my only real complaints with the Nick series so far has been that he doesn't get the same kind of solo attention or push that the others tend to get in terms of his ninja prowess. This episode was great for rectifying some of that.

Leatherhead was fantastic as always and I can't wait to see his role in the defense against the invasion. It would be awesome to see way more of him and Mikey teaming up to trash their enemies.

[Foombamaroom]

Definitely one of my favorite episodes, and by a longshot my favorite Mikey episode.

Season 2 has had so much filler, but when they actually have an episode contributing to the story, it's SOO good.

[Mukouno]

Okay, I haven't seen the episode yet because of that different country stuff. But a friend has seen it and because I was really curious about the time difference she told me everything that was said about it in the episode. She mentioned Mikey had been there for months or hours, he wouldn't really know and Leatherhead had spent decades in Dimension X. And apparently Mikey jumped through the portal first with his brothers coming right after him. She couldn't really remember but she said the difference was at most 15 seconds.

That's all well and good, I pretty much assumed that Mikey was there for a few hours from the start and he was just exaggerating. But I was really surprised when I saw the majority of people claiming he was actually in Dimension X for months.

Huh. Okay, call me what you want but I really did some math.

"Months" is pretty vague and could mean anything, but just to show the ridiculousness let's assume a low number, like 3 months.

So, we have (maximum!) 15 seconds = 3 months.
One minute would be 1 year then.
One hour are 60 years.
One day are 1440 years.
One year are 525600 years.

I don't know how much time passed since Leatherhead got trapped in Dimension X but if it was just a year he'd been there for 525600 years. 'Decades' doesn't really cut it.

And that's just assuming 3 months. The more you increase that number the more ridiculous it gets. And let's not even get started on the fact that Donnie jumped through the portal a few seconds later than Leo and Raph but they arrived at the same time nonetheless.

But let's assume Mikey has been there a few days, like 7.

15 seconds = 7 days
1 minute = 28 days
1 hour = 1680 days (4.6 years)
1 day = 40320 days (110.46 years)
1 year = 14716800 days (40320 years)

Still kinda hard to believe.

Okay, let's take a really short time, like an hour.

15 seconds = 1 hour
1 minute = 4 hours
1 hour = 240 hours or 10 days
1 day = 240 days
1 year = 87600 days or 240 years

It's still too much to speak of decades, but at least we're getting there. You could make this actually work if you reduce the time since Leatherhead has been trapped in Dimension X.

If I made a mistake somewehere you're free to correct me, as I said I haven't seen the episode yet and those 15 seconds I base everything on are from my friend. But even if you reduce that it would just increase all numbers, thus making it more outrageous.

Or... Maybe I'm just looking too deep into this...

[LH]

I'm not really sure it can be calculated... It may just be completely spontaneous... :ohwell: Donnie threw a rock and it just came back around... The laws of time and physics appear to be completely unstable in Dimension X.

[Warhorse]

I'm not really sure it can be calculated... It may just be completely spontaneous... :ohwell:

Or, it's just a kid's show, so they are not going to put that much thought into it. Just the fact that time is sped up faster in Dimension X, and that somehow manages to make bodies age faster too. I wouldn't be surprised if Victory Angel is correct, in that once they come back, it's like they never left and are back to their same age, they just will retain the memories of their experience.

[JTH]

It can't really be put into complete stat, however, this does now explain how the Kraang were able to come back so quickly after their "destruction" in the Season 1 finale.

[Mukouno]

Hm, yeah that thought occured to me too while writing this. I calculated all that under the assumption that the time difference is a constant value but maybe it changes every moment. Like when Mikey jumped through the portal time passed really fast over there and in the few seconds Donnie hesitated time suddenly stood still in Dimension X.
Everything seems possible, really.
I recall my friend saying that at the end Donnie said it would take the Kraang months to rebuild everything they destroyed and when asked how long they have in the real world he said hours, a day or something. Which just raises more questions...
So yeah, I really shouldn't think about this too much. :anime:


Edit:
I wouldn't be surprised if Victory Angel is correct, in that once they come back, it's like they never left and are back to their same age, they just will retain the memories of their experience.

If that's true then why is Leatherhead still all gray in the trailer?

[Warhorse]

If that's true then why is Leatherhead still all gray in the trailer?

He looked his normal color to me.

[LH]

Keep in mind Leatherhead grew up in Dimension X after he was taken there as a baby... If one reverts to their old age when they return, he would've changed back into a baby when he first escaped.

He looked his normal color to me.

He was still lighter and scarred in the trailer.

[Mukouno]

True, just another point to show this is highly unlikely.

He looked his normal color to me.

Okay, just because of this I rewatched the trailer and I can see nothing green on him, sorry... To me, he looks like if he was made out of stone. And I've seen some pics of him in Dimension X where he lookes exactly like that, too.

I'm going by the trailer from SDCC. Where we see Shredder in front of him.

[Mukouno]

Well, I was referring to the Shredder vs Leatherhead picture, too. Sorry, to me... that's grey, not green. I just can't see it. :tneutral:

[Warhorse]

Well, I was referring to the Shredder vs Leatherhead picture, too. Sorry, to me... that's grey, not green. I just can't see it. :tneutral:

Looks green to me. Green brownish, but then again, the colors in the shredder picture are bled out period! Just look at Shredder's colors and the city around it, the whole palette is a bit depressing.

[Mukouno]

Hm... Okay, the background might be an explanation, it's pretty grey overall, I'll give you that. I guess we'll know for sure when the finale airs and we see more scenes of him. Too bad we only have the Shredder vs Leatherhead scene so far.

[Warhorse]

Now, if the Turtles and Leatherhead are indeed older now that they have returned, I hope they clear that up! Like, could we tell if Mikey is now taller than Raphael? I heard a rumor once that Mikey is going grow the second tallest by series end. This could be the start of it, or he just might get a growth spurt.

[snake]

LH got older and his skin got darker. Whats the problem?

[LH]

In the trailer he looks the same as he did in Dimension X, just in broad daylight. He's a lighter shade of green now... Leatherhead's original color was a mixture of green, gray, black and tan spots that when together formed his green hue... For his aged look they lightened the green significantly and darkened his white skin. He's also got brown spots like you'd see on an adult alligator

Here's a shot from TCRI with the lighting turned up... You can see his original skin texture better here...

http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/ag109/NostalgiaGeek/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsb3123a52.jpg

LH got older and his skin got darker. Whats the problem?

Exactly! He's still just as strong as he was before! Heck, that Deathroll at the beginning showed just how much stronger he's gotten! :)

[Mukouno]

LH got older and his skin got darker. Whats the problem?

The 'problem' was that Warhorse said it might be possible that they revert back to their young age before they entered Dimension X.
I just tried to explain why I think that's not possible by stating that in the trailer he looked still really pale and grey to me just as in Dimension X where it clearly showed how much he's aged and because of that didn't return to being young. Warhorse simply didn't see it that way. That's all there is to it.

Exactly! He's still just as strong as he was before! Heck, that Deathroll at the beginning showed just how much stronger he's gotten!

Hey, I never doubted that! He will still kick major... you know what I mean. :D
He's a Badass Grandpa now.

[victory_angel]

I never said they went back to the ages they were when they left. As cool as it would be to see them as grown ups and then go back to earth from Dimention X and be teenagers once again.

In Dimention X Mikey was there for months, while for his bros he was gone for 15 seconds. And even though they are gone for several hours.

Back on earth they were essentially gone for the span of time it takes to blink an eye.

This shot from the episode has the exact same outdoor lighting conditions as in the finale trailer... You can see he looks the same:

Leatherhead's color was clearly de-saturated to age him without significantly altering the model. Case closed.

[chrisdude]

Awesome episode. Holy crap, I love this show. I can't wait for the big showdown. :D

The trailer for the season 2 finale trailer is basically what I want for the next TMNT film.

[Icebot]

This turned out to be my favorite episode of the Nick TMNT cartoon! Second favorite is TCRI!

I loved the sky of Dimension X, it looked a lot like old toon Dimension X to me!!

[coxfire]

Fantastic episode! Leatherhead is badass, it was awesome seeing him again. that opening fight scene was astounding.
I liked also that even if, for once, the focus was on Mikey and his capabilities (thank god for that), all turtles were displayed and had their share of screentime (unless the previous episode where Leo Raph and Mike only had 2 lines).

My only regret when it come to this episode was that it was too short, and I would definitely had skipped last week's spoof in favor of a 2-parter in Dimension X.

Regarding the temporal difference, I wouldn't take Mike's assertion that he was there for months as face value, he said "month or hours" afterall, I think he had spent a few more hours than the guys.

Regarding LH's skin color, I agree that he looks greyer, but beyond the aging, I also think the condition he had to survive weren't the best: probable starvation, constant hiding & fighting against the Kraang... The combination of all probably took a toll on his health.

Anyway, after this awesome ep, bring on Invasion, TMNT!!

[Midnight Mutant]

This was a great episode. It moved the story, kept it pretty serious with just the right amount and kind of humor! I can not wait to see the finale'!

[DVD]

Just watched it. Awesome episode.
Laughed myself silly when Mikey fell off the roof at the end.
Nothing in there to complain about, and lots to look forward to with the two part finale.
Do we get that this weekend, or next?

[Mukouno]

Do we get that this weekend, or next?

Well, it'll air on the 26th of September but it might be possible that nick will release it a week early again.

[VaughnMichael]

I really liked this episode and why wouldn't I?
I mean we've got Leatherhead back and the story is moving forward!
I'm glad they played things out like this with Mikey, he started out as his usual immature idiot self and then showed them all what a total bad ass he can be and knew what he was doing or pretended too.:lol:
I really liked all the crazy stuff going on in Dimension X and I hope we see more of it.
I like the bit with Donatello and the rock as it was a very classic cartoon bit.
Btw this all better end up in a video game because the way this episode plays out once in Dimension X it's so video game like.
Those flying orbs are really odd, I've seen something like them before was it Mario Bros or Sonic by chance?
I love that little map map thing lol but I could tell it was a huge monster right off the bat, it reminded me of and old Muppet character.
Man Mikey is lucky that those worm things he drank the gunk from didn't mutate him or anything.
I wouldn't be going around drinking random bug juice knowing what the large worms have inside them.:o
I just noticed Mikey has Kraang tentacles wrapped around his arms too, at least I think that's what that is. Pretty hard core for him.
It's cool seeing Traag again and that they added Granitor to the lineup but being slightly nit-picky I do wish they would have given Granitor a bit of a different look from Traag other than being just a gray looking Traag.
I really hope Ciro or someone over at Nick can talk Playmates into making Giant figures of them though how cool would that be!
I really thought that tree was going to Mutate into something living rather than turn to that crystal stuff, was a bit disappointed there.
But I guess that's what the perfected Mutagen does.
Loved the hive look of the Kraang base, it was funny I said to my partner "Hey they must have gotten Frank Lloyd Wright to design this place."
We had just gone to see his some of his work and learned that he loved the Hexagon shape found in beehives and implemented it in many of his designs.;)
I really liked Raph fighting fist to fist with the Kraang and how it actually got a few punches in, makes them not seem like such push overs.
Then Leatherhead with the palming of Leo and throwing him across the room + Leo's face while he's flying through the air is priceless!
I'm a bit surprised that they didn't run to the roof top so those people below didn't seem them or look at them talking, then Mikey falls down right in the area people just walked past.:teek:
That part really strikes me as odd, maybe it was a goof or something.
This was over all a very action packed episode and we learned quite a bit plus we got Leatherhead back with the team so I'm going to give it an A-
Which I think is a pretty darn good score. ;)
I thought it was better on tv as well.
I felt the same as well, I really disliked the episode then re-watched it on tv and actually enjoyed it.
I think it's either He-man or maybe Thundercats.
I'm pretty sure it's going to be Care Bears as they have the evil Dream Beavers thing happening.

[shredder orokusaki]

Very good episode. I liked how the kraang tortured leatherhad! It was very funny! But i am curious to learn what the real purpose of the mutagen is now that they said that they perfected it. The next episode it will be the big battle between me and Leonardo! You know what will happen there right? I will destroy him!!

[ssjup81]

I think it's either He-man or maybe Thundercats.

I'm pretty sure it's going to be Care Bears as they have the evil Dream Beavers thing happening.Ciro said a fantasy series that started in 1981.

I'm pretty sure He-Man is 1983, Thundercats, about 1985 (iirc), and Carebears I'm most certain is 1984. Besides, would you really consider these fantasy series?

Wish granted. Danger Of The Ooze coming 11/11 for 3DS, PS3, & Xbox 360.

[Midnight Mutant]

I wish they would have a Sherlock spoof show for Donnie to oogle over. I know they all liked the anime, but it felt more for Mikey like space heros felt more for Leo.

Thundercats would be awesome too. Humanoid turtles watching humanoid cats. xD

Did anyone notice that Mikey's helmet was a Kraang skull and he had the tentacles wrapped around his arms and thighs? Dude..did Mikey straight up murder a Kraang and and use it's body to survive? That's ****ing brutal.

Also, when Raph pulls the Kraang out of his droid during the hand to hand combat, it kind of looks like a 'rip the heart out of my enemy' move. The way he did it and they way they angled it.

[victory_angel]

Maybe a dragon ball Z or Fist of the North Star thing for Raph

[Rooish]

I really enjoyed this episode. The absolute best part was Leonardo and the little/big monster talking to each other. Leonardo has never been so cute! Mikey was cool too but I don't have much hope that the changes will stay. Loved him spooning with Leatherhead!

I really don't think he was there for months though, guys. I think that was just a gag.

Care Bears started as greeting card characters in 1981.
And yes if you've ever watched any of the Care Bears cartoons there is plenty of fantasy and other elements such as mysticism.
But either way I don't really care much for those little parts so it's really no biggy for me.
I just thought it would be that considering we have something related to it appearing in the guys nightmares.

Bad ass!I used to watch Carebears as a kid and guess you're right, it did have some fantasy elements. To be honest, though when Ciro said the series started, I was thinking along the lines of a TV show's debut or something airing but you may be right.

I still want it to be the Smurfs. lol

I've heard of Blackstar before. The toy line had the most fragile playset ever. The Ice Castle.

[pannoni1]

A very good tentpole episode leading toward the finale provided, and its good to see Mikey get his "star for a day", only to end with a good punchline at the end. A nice job with the Kraang/Leatherhead battle, and cool to have that alien be quiet one moment only to turn into one of the most exciting scenes provided. Fantastic animation sequences during the escape, showing how effective 3D can be and its nice seeing Granitor in addition to Traag, and its welcome to see daylight on Earth at the end for the first time in many shows. Hard to believe we're now 50 episodes into Nick!

Overall: 8.5/10

[PRD13]

[Shark_Blade]

Yeah he looks too happy...

They just recycle the old figure and add the equipments. But I'll probably get it anyway cause I like the fact Mikey killed a Kraang and used it's skin. :P

[madyankees]

One thing I still can't quite figure out. Did mikey really spend months or hours in DX? The rest of the turtles jumped in literally seconds, at most a minute after him. As OT mikey would say...mondo bizarrio dude

Well time does go faster in Dimention X, so months might be an exaggeration. But he had certainly spend a long time there, that is for sure. Maybe a month and a couple of weeks at least.

[Mona_Lisa]

I loved this episode too, actually after seeing that ghost episode I was starting to think that I hated this Donatello.... A lot.
But even though this wasn't a Donatello centric episode (thank God) there was lots of good little Donny moments that made me like his character again!!!!
This is defiantly my fav. Mikey centered episode EVER!

[Toadtrooper]

I don't know if time dilation was the best concept to introduce. It would be hard enough to keep continuity with one writer; there are bound to be errors when you have a different writers trying to remember the rules between Earth time and DX time.

It does comes off more as a plot convenience to age Leatherhead and make Mikey useful in ways that otherwise wouldn't make sense, other than well-constructed world building.

But Doug Langdale did do the best he could with the story he was given, and turned what could have been a terrible episode into a fun, well-paced adventure.

[Ursalink]

I saw the episode. Nobody noticed certain reference in the episode?

Before the face the lava and ice monster, Mikey is hanged upside down with his "grappling worm" the same way Spider-Man use to do in the comics with his webs.

[Powder]

I don't people cared much, it's not an uncommon thing to see with rope swinging characters.

[JTH]

Much less in this show.

This is the probably the 3rd Spiderman homage they've done in the show.

Heck, I think the fact it's a show based in NYC is one of the reasons they do them.

[Bry]

Really liked this one. I've been getting a bit frustrated with Mikey always being the "useless dumb one" and the butt of the joke, so this was exactly what I've been waiting for. I get that the plan is probably to slowly develop him over time, but I hope they keep this momentum going - he was allowed to be competent and useful while keeping his fun/goofy personality intact, and that is the Mikey I want to see more of.

I can imagine a moment where he realizes he underestimates himself partly because everyone else underestimates him. Love Cipes as Mikey, and overall he's a lot of fun, but I'm ready for him to grow up a little bit. Just a little.

[JTH]

Don't know if anyone mentioned this as an easter egg or homage yet, but the S.R.M.F.F. VHS video cassette's label design resembled the old F.H.E. Ninja Turtles VHS tapes.

The company that makes the VHS is also called X.K.E. :lol:

[Ninjawolf]

Extensive summary please? Pretty please with all of Mikey's pizza toppings on top? ^^

I was told by the doctor I must stay in the hospital for two more weeks. Altogether that means I will be here a full month.

For this ep, not sure I can watch it yet. I don't have the cellular data too atm.

So, please can anyone tell me more about Mikey for this ep?

Out of curiosity why are you in the hospital you okay? But saw the episode! Was awesome really glad to see Leatherhead again and Michelangelo was great!

[ssjup81]

Out of curiosity why are you in the hospital you okay? But saw the episode! Was awesome really glad to see Leatherhead again and Michelangelo was great!It's no problem. I shall pass along my tale.

*Takes out a pipe that blows bubbles while still fangirling over this ep and how awesome Mikey was*

I'll put this into a spoiler tag since it's so long, but I will say this. Technically, exercising got me here. :-P

So, back on abou August 27, I started having breathing issues. Doing the simplest thing was causing me to have shortness of breath, even though the days before, I'd gone to the gym to workout without any problems. I assumed my blood pressure was too low as it had been lately. Trying to work like this was a hassle because I work with kids sometimes which involves singing and gestures. The next day, the same thing.

On that Friday I planned to go to the nearby clinic to get checked out since I would have a large break after my first class. While trying to get ready for work, I could barely dress. I couldn't catch my breath, I was sweaty, my heart was pounding. I just continued trying to dress for work. Next thing I remember, I was waking up on the floor. I could barely stand. I called work, told them I needed to go to the hospital. My manager called an ambulance.

I still struggled to dress. I tossed a few things in my bag (phone, charger, iPad). I still had to dress myself. I heard the knocks on the door. I tried to get there. I passed out again right at the door. The knocks woke me up. I reached up, unlocked it and pretty much fell out the door. I couldn't stand or anything. I was super dizzy and nauseous and my breathing was becoming worse.

Anyway, had tests done. Apparently, I had a Pulmonary Embolism. It burst and I now had blood clots in the lungs. The exercise from the previous days probably caused it to break. How it formed could've been from my flight I recently took to Hiroshima. It was a short trip, so I didn't take a baby aspirin or wear my compression socks, like I would if I were taking an international flight. I also had a window seat. My friend hates window seats. I couldn't move my long legs much. I tend to sit in the aisle seats for the leg room. I had this before back when visiting NY five years ago. Was in the hospital for only a week, barely.

Anyway, they admitted me here August 29. Been here ever since.

I was supposed to have left September 13, but on the 10th or 11th, I had another attack similar to the one I had when I was first brought in. They had to put me back on the oxygen and everything, even though I hadn't used it for a while. They checked my level and it was at like 80% or something. A normal blood oxygen level, I think you call it, is 94% and higher.

Turns out my body had a reaction to the medication (Heparin) which caused my blood platelet levels to drop and developed something called Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia or HIT, which also forms abnormal clots. So I had to be taken off of the Heparin drip and start a new medication through the IV.

So this is why I'm still here. The doc says I might can leave September 27.

The scene where they escaped through the portal and you see leather head hanging on the side of the building is probably one of the busiest new york scenes we have seen. There was actually traffic out.

Whoa, seriously?!

Think someone would be kind enough to provide a screencap of this?

[Ninjawolf]

It's no problem. I shall pass along my tale.

*Takes out a pipe that blows bubbles while still fangirling over this ep and how awesome Mikey was*

I'll put this into a spoiler tag since it's so long, but I will say this. Technically, exercising got me here. :-P

So, back on abou August 27, I started having breathing issues. Doing the simplest thing was causing me to have shortness of breath, even though the days before, I'd gone to the gym to workout without any problems. I assumed my blood pressure was too low as it had been lately. Trying to work like this was a hassle because I work with kids sometimes which involves singing and gestures. The next day, the same thing.

On that Friday I planned to go to the nearby clinic to get checked out since I would have a large break after my first class. While trying to get ready for work, I could barely dress. I couldn't catch my breath, I was sweaty, my heart was pounding. I just continued trying to dress for work. Next thing I remember, I was waking up on the floor. I could barely stand. I called work, told them I needed to go to the hospital. My manager called an ambulance.

I still struggled to dress. I tossed a few things in my bag (phone, charger, iPad). I still had to dress myself. I heard the knocks on the door. I tried to get there.

Hope you get out soon sorry for being nozy

Yeah, I just read that! I too hope you get better, this sounds like a horrifying experience to be going through!

[blindturtle02]

I loved this one. I was captivated by Dimension X in the old show but the craziness they pumped into this incarnation ruled in all sorts of ways. Great to see Mikey shining in this episode. Also nice to see Lh finally returning. I love the big guy quite a lot. He's one of my favorite characters. Traag and Granitor were also fun additions, and I definitely caught the names.

I thought it was kind of cute, how Mikey and Raph seemed to have a better grasp on Dimension X compared to the other usually more intelligent Turtles!

[ssjup81]

Yeah, I just read that! I too hope you get better, this sounds like a horrifying experience to be going through!Yeah, this time it was. Last time I took the subway into Manhattan from Brooklyn. I just couldn't catch my breath and caught a cab, skipped my class and went to the nearest hospital. I could go there on my own power.

This time however, I ended up on the floor without knowing how I got there. Same for the door. I didn't remember how I got the floor until I heard the paramedics banging and my manager yelling in worry.

[Karai Samurai]

The online premieres are throwing me off, but I'm still sticking with the television premieres (or my DVR when I can't watch it when it airs). I'm going to watch the finale ahead of time, though.

Anyway, the episode was just awesome. The best Kraang episode in this series by far. Dimension X was creepy and creative, the music was on point, and Mikey! And freaking Leatherhead! Perfect. More things:

The temporal difference is an interesting touch. Does that mean that the Kraang have been working on the mutagen for millennia in their time? I remember in the Kraang Conspiracy there was a picture of a Kraang in colonial clothes.
Soooo happy they put a spin on the classic Mikey's a screw up episode. Now if we can get a Donnie episode not focused on April...
Boxing Raph :)
Speaking of Mikey episodes, his episodes were the best this season IMO.
Meap. Meap.



I just noticed Mikey has Kraang tentacles wrapped around his arms too, at least I think that's what that is. Pretty hard core for him.


So...if I'm correct Mikey is the third character that it was implied that they killed Kraang, besides Leatherhead and the Newtralizer. Awesome sauce. Bring on the finale!

[ssjup81]

There are eps with Donnie as the main character not focused on April. I hate when people say otherwise because it isn't true.

[Karai Samurai]

Okay, okay. Donnie episodes besides Metalhead Rewired, which, by the way, was my favorite Donnie episode. I'm still hoping that April can become a more dynamic character come season 3 but I'm not holding my breath.

[BubblyShell22]

This episode was all kinds of awesome! Loved how Mikey knew everything about Dimension X, Leatherhead's return, Leo imitating that monster (so adorable!) LH's POV while running through the facility was awesome, Traag and Granitor making an appearance, and even the fighting was great. Can't wait for the finale for sure!

Yes, I think I'm gonna stick with the television stuff, too even though I'm tempted to check the finale online.

[Darthknuxward]

Yes, I think I'm gonna stick with the television stuff, too even though I'm tempted to check the finale online.

I'd check out online but two things:

1: My cable and internet provider stopped airing anything that was a subsidiary of Viacom back in April.
2: Because they provide my internet service as well, they block the new episodes! :tmad:
In case anyone is wondering, a very generous family member of mine records the episodes for me. On VHS.

...what? Some sort of corporate rivalry/feud, I'm assuming?

They shouldn't be allowed to do that. Blocking perfectly legal websites for paying customers should be against the law. They're punishing you for something you have nothing to do with.

They shouldn't be allowed to do that. Blocking perfectly legal websites for paying customers should be against the law. They're punishing you for something you have nothing to do with.

Yeah, I'm getting pissed over these little wars between studio execs and cable/satelite providers. And I'm not sure who is in the right in this.

My understanding is, we will call the broadcast companies like Viacom, Fox and CNN as parts A and the providers like Time Warner and Comcast as parts B.

Parts A- want to charge substantial increases for the rights of parts B to show their channels. Parts B don't want to compromise, because they say it will force them to increaser their costs and pass it on to the consumer. Now, both parts A and B get revenue via commercials (parts B does this all of the time with channels set aside especially for infomercials) But at the same time, stuff like Nickelodeon can't exist without the providers, so why give them a hard time? It's limiting the amount of people who can watch their shows? I can maybe understand broadcasting companies since all you need is an antenna and voila, you got your channel back, but like I said, stations like USA, TBS and TNT don't work the same way.

I think, if USA or Nick want to charge providers to have access to their stations, then there should be a law that they can't have advertisement on those channels.

[Gunpowder]

Just gave this one a go last night. I absolutely love the weirdness of it, and the part where Leo starts imitating the "meep meep" thing might be one of my favorite moments from the show (just because it was so out of character) :lol:. Was also impressed that they incorporated Dimension X's time difference with Leatherhead's age.

Oh, Mikey had Kraang tentacles wrapped around his arms? Thanks for point that out. I'd really like a Dimension X survivor Mikey action figure now. I've really enjoyed Mikey throughout season 2. I think we got some foreshadowing in Metalhead Rewired pertaining to this episode. He really knew what he was doing concerning those portals when they were trying to track down Spiderbytes. And meep meep to you as well! haha I wonder what that means in Dimension X lingo. Right now I'm going with,"Have a nice weekend."

[BubblyShell22]

Sounded more like, "Mop! Mop!" but I'll have to watch the ep again today to see if I'm right. It was cute though.

And, yes, Mikey really did shine in this ep, and it was great how he knew what to do.

Maybe it's more like mehp mehp? Either way, mehp mehp blind turtle!

You too! You said,"Make the most out of a Monday," right? haha Still fathoming the purpose of the mehp mehp creatures btw. Dimension X versions of pigeons? Pretty freaky, but also cool... Whatever they are.

[THGhost]

Why must Nick only make their website accessible to the US? :roll:

Awesome episode, now that I've been able to watch it. Mikey was fantastic in this one. :lol: If the people on these forums who are extremely hard to please (you know who you are!), then it has to be one of the show's best episodes by far.

Sounded like "Ma! Ma!" to me.

Anyone else wondering where Snake Karai is right now? :P

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

Absolutely loved it. Probably one of the best ones since Meet Casey Jones.

[BubblyShell22]

Nope, it's definitely "Mop! Mop!" But whatever, it's still the cutest thing ever!

[ssjup81]

Nope, it's definitely "Mop! Mop!" But whatever, it's still the cutest thing ever!Seems like something you'd see on Sesame Street. lol

[snake]

I really liked the Mikey/Raph dynamic here. It was great to see them as friends.

[blindturtle02]

Seems like something you'd see on Sesame Street. lol

Hey, it does! Sort of reminds me of those yepyep alien dudes. Only not as scary! The yepyeps freaked me out when I was a kid. Mopmops, I can handle, strangely enough. Bet the mopmops look cool though.

[THGhost]

Nope, it's definitely "Mop! Mop!" But whatever, it's still the cutest thing ever!

The subtitles say "Mop!", but there's no discernible "P" sound.

The thing was adorable though. :anime:

Leatherhead ageing was a great touch. Wonder what it will mean for his future.

[Powder]

I heard the P clear as a bell.

[THGhost]

Lord knows how, seeing how it isn't even there. :P

Watching Black Nerd Comedy's recap of this episode. He's gonna throw a fit when he sees the finale. :lol:

I love the yepyeps, those sock looking freaks!

[Darth Knuckles]

Pretty good episode. I really enjoyed Mikey getting some respect and being much smarter in Dimension X. I really hope at least some of that is carried over into future episodes. Neat to see Granitor incorporated into the show along Traag's side. Neither one of them is my favorite in the Nick show, but I still like seeing them in the universe nonetheless. And Leatherhead rocks! Great to see him back on Earth so he can fight The Shredder!

[BubblyShell22]

I love the yepyeps, those sock looking freaks!

Yeah, I always liked them, too. I could imitate them pretty well.

[tmntpower1988]

I thought it was hilarious when Mikey kicked Leatherhead through the portal and Leatherhead was all "I'm ok" :lol:

[blindturtle02]

Right! I forgot about that. I'd binge watched this with the finale so it was all one amazing ride. That part cracked me up though.

[BubblyShell22]

That part cracked me up as well, and I think Mikey said it after he fell off the roof.

[IndigoErth]

I know I'm late commenting (been away from the computer), but still not sure I have this one entirely figured out yet. Nick chose to air the most confusing bizarro episode the evening after I'd been drugged up all day on drowsy pain killers.:lol:

I dunno. Is it? Are we really here? I feel like I'm in a Talking Heads music video now!:lol: "Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down, Letting the days go by/water flowing underground, Into the blue again/after the money's gone, Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground."

[Slade]

It didn't blow me away, but I do think it was a good episode.

[NoName999]

Another fine episode.

Leatherhead is back, the Kraang's plan can move on again, and unless Leatherhead developed an immunity from it, Dimension X's atmosphere isn't lethal.

[sdp]

This episode was quite enjoyable, my only gripes is that its too bad Mikey is always so silly, I wish he were written a little more like Beast Boy who was also able to be serious when he had to. In this episode while he tried to be bad ass he was still goofy about it. I don't like Granitor or Tragg, well at least that they are those characters I do like the giant rock monster design/enemy. Would love to see more of Dimension X.

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, but it seems like Mikey is maturing more, and I hope we see more of this as season 3 progresses.

[Sumac]

In the couple of past few episodes, I came to realize, that Mikey suddenly stopped being extremely dumb. He was tolerable and not overly obnoxious... and this episode he was...awesome.
Note: I don't believe I would have used "Awesome" and "Mikey" in the same sentence, when it comes to this show.

Overall, episode was good with great action (Traag and Granitor were cool) and badass Mikey. And badass Leatherhead.
I give it 3 crocodiles out of 3.
