Official Ep Discussion: S3 Ep2: "A Foot too Big"

[Machias Banshee]

I just LOVE them being in Northampton. The farmhouse, the change of scenery, Leo's voice change.... and no Kraang! The quality of the animation gets better and better all the time, too...

caP4Xynoh5c
Poor Donnie... let's just hope Bigfoot doesn't wanna hug 'im and squeeze 'im and call him 'George'.


So, Leo is recovering, and the boys are all adjusting to life on the surface. Fresh air, sunshine, a breeze that's not a mix of car exhaust and restaurant odors. No traffic, no people....nothing.

Just trees... lots of trees.

We've already seen them deal with Leo's mutagen/cereal/barf creature "The Creep", so where else has his 'breakfast' traveled to in the forest?

But now we've got the hint about Donnie and April coming up in this episode. Will the storyboards we saw months ago come true? Will Donnie be dragged along by the nose, not understanding April's intentions? And how will Casey react? Or is this all a smokescreen and we're only getting teased further?


And now we wait for tomorrow night... so very, very far away.

Stay Tuned!

[Machias Banshee]

Open and Poll on the way!!

Good lord, poll options are plentiful.. :lol:

[CyberCubed]

Weird episode but was funny at parts. One thing I notice is how the CG animation really looks better this season than the first two. Did they get a bigger budget?

Not much to say otherwise, just a silly filler episode.

[JTH]

And...

They're real.

Let the fun begin!

Also gotta love "The Body" as The Finger. :D

[Zatoichi]

So those Apriltello storyboard pics finally happened, cool.


Also, someone on these boards said that "Buried Secrets" wouldn't be aired until Halloween but it looked like it's going to air next week.

[IndigoErth]

Ohhhkay... not entirely sure what happened there, but was pretty entertaining. Did not expect Bigfoot to talk. o.O Hah,and Bigfoot really is a girl... I think?

Ok, gladly retract my speculations about when 'it' would happen, but have to agree with Donnie about basically not understanding anything. Wtf, April. Show starts off with really awkwardly excusing yourself and ends like... Hm.

Best part... Ice Cream Kitty. Poor thing... lol


Edit: So... if the Kraang mutated monkeys and resulted in humans, were Bigfoots a previous trial attempt?

[Zatoichi]

Anyone else notice the "Hulkamainia" reference when Donnie and Mikey were fighting The Finger? Loved that.

[JTH]

Anyone else notice the "Hulkamainia" reference when Donnie and Mikey were fighting The Finger? Loved that.
What else would you expect from a former pro wrestler? :lol:

[kolaida]

Wow, uhm, what did I just watch, lol. I never thought I would say this, but I really hope I see more of Raph and Leo next episode. But I am enjoying seeing more of Mikey.

There were a few cool shots while they ( Donnie and Mikey) fought the Finger. And the Finger and his mom, whoa, glad it's October at least. Bigfoot and her Donnie crush was funny/cute. Oh, wow. And the end. I guess now a case can be made for April encouraging this crush that she didn't seem to into earlier in the episode or before really. Loved the part where Casey and Leo were laughing about Bigfoot's crush (though did feel bad for her).

Oh, and best part was Bigfoot taking care of sad man, lol. :tlol:


Oh yeah, and ICK!!! Super happy about seeing the kitty. :)

[Mellie]

I loved this episode! It was so funny.

Donnie giving April the music box was precious.

Jesse "The Finger" Ventura was great. That shrunken mama head..

Atari! Raph's little butt wiggle :lol:

Raph dropping the bomb.. that Donnie is acting just like Bigfoot. I loved Don's reaction. His facial expressions were perfect.

Leo you dick. :ohwell: Poor Bigfoot..

That twist ending! How silly.

Then of course the storyboard... it actually happened. I'm confused too Donnie.

I don't know if it's because they're out in the daylight, but the animation this season has been wonderful.

[FoxBoxKid]

That episode left me feeling... icky. :dead:

[Mellie]

Also, someone on these boards said that "Buried Secrets" wouldn't be aired until Halloween but it looked like it's going to air next week.


At the NYCC panel today, pretty sure I heard them say it was a Halloween-ish episode, but it was airing on the 17th.

[CyberCubed]

That episode left me feeling... icky. :dead:

Because of Bigfoot on human loving?

[kolaida]

Leo you dick. :ohwell: Poor Bigfoot..

I don't know if it's because they're out in the daylight, but the animation this season has been wonderful.

LOL @ the "Leo you dick" lol!! But it was soooo funny! I was totally laughing with him and Casey lol

And, yeah, animation's been great, love it

[CyberCubed]

I thought Bigfoot should have been male. Seeing a gay romance in this show would have been groundbreaking in a kids show.

[IndigoErth]

Leo you dick. :ohwell: Poor Bigfoot..
Mammal sensitivity classes. And Casey next door in the gender version.

Though as a primate you'd think it wold have been just a little more noticeable that it was a she... But I guess chalk one up for the few female characters not laced with lots of human-like gender cues... even if done so they could hide the fact at first.

[Luckyday]

So April choose Donnie because, what else is a kiss on the lips suppose to mean, or she made a confusing situation even more confusing.

[IndigoErth]

or she made a confusing situation even more confusing.
For the time being I'm going with that. I mean, there was no pivotal moment that made it do a 180 between her behavior in the first few min of the show and the end. Hmm.

[CyberCubed]

April kissed Don in Season 1 too. Stop being influenced by tumblr, it was just to reassure Don that he wasn't being a creep like Bigfoot.

[MrTMNT2012]

Definitely one of the weirder episodes but I enjoyed it. Just hope the show gets back to that character-driven focus that was established in the first episode!

[Coola Yagami]

Stop blaming tumblr for your problems.

[Luigiperps]

I thought Bigfoot should have been male. Seeing a gay romance in this show would have been groundbreaking in a kids show.

That's what I thought it was at first, but I was a bit disappointed to find out that wasn't true

[CyberCubed]

Agreed. A gay Bigfoot crushing on Donnie would have been funnier.

Especially the ending with the finger.

[IndigoErth]

it was just to reassure Don that he wasn't being a creep like Bigfoot.
Well. April hasn't exactly not acted uncomfortable over it at times, like to start with in this one... That doesn't happen for no reason. It was at least good for Donnie to get a little of a different perspective once Raph pointed it out.

[CyberCubed]

April kissed him so he wasn't depressed and didn't feel like a loser like Bigfoot. That's all.

[Luckyday]

You know what, I'm tired of defending April.


I didn't want to think otherwise but she is a complete tease. I don't care anymore how she feels or thinks because.....**** it. She if kiss one scene and be like "please go away, please" it's because she wasn't written to base on an actual person with ****ing common sense. I mean, wow just wow.

[IndigoErth]

April kissed him so he wasn't depressed and didn't feel like a loser like Bigfoot. That's all.
Yeah, that's a good way of putting it, more reasonable in that light.



For someone with magic mind powers though, this girl has no foresight at all. Could really use some more inner monologue from her, but pertaining to these things.

[Luckyday]

Or maybe she just an attention seeking bitch.

[Mellie]

Or maybe she just an attention seeking bitch.

Mikey: Oh snap!

[CyberCubed]

April is not seeking lovers. This is a professionally written cartoon, not someones fanfiction.net account.

[JTH]

April is not seeking lovers. This is a professionally written cartoon, not someones fanfiction.net account.
Really, cause that's how I wrote her in my fanfiction stories...

[Luckyday]

Could've fool me.

Oh but wait! She needs to be fought over like a trophy because that's the only way for her to feel human.

[jbparker]

Ditto.

I mean WTF, April. There are better ways to assure Donnie that he wasn't quite that bad and affirm your friendship. Even with the kiss I still don't get the impression that she cares for him at all romantically, she is just an emotional idiot.

Frankly, it just seems cruel.

[Syb3rStrife]

April's amused reaction to Donnie being kissed by Big Foot as well was priceless (I want to think it was a little bit of a gay joke since they all seemed to think Big Foot was a dude at the time).

Speaking of April, I understand she's a little tired of Donnie's love obsession but she could have at least shown a little more gratitude towards the music box. Yeah, it could have done without the giant picture of him inside it, but that was d*mn good lookin' music box, IMO.

I was surprised at Leo being a dick and making fun of Big Foot with Casey. I would have expected that from Casey and Raph but not Leo.

Also, 'Yo Mama' jokes! XD

[Gunpowder]

Well...this episode had my eyebrows raised pretty much the entire time. And I thought Bigfoot was a dude until I heard "she." Definitely one of the goofiest episodes.

Weird episode but was funny at parts. One thing I notice is how the CG animation really looks better this season than the first two. Did they get a bigger budget?

Not much to say otherwise, just a silly filler episode.

I noticed that too, actually. The backgrounds also looked nice.

[Zatoichi]

Seeing a gay romance in this show would have been groundbreaking in a kids show.

It would have been, but I'm glad they didn't use it with Bigfoot. I'd personally like it if they made Tiger Claw gay and actually showed it instead of saying it years after the show ended(Lexington from Gargoyles) or giving an extremely vague line that was supposed to be the character "coming out"(Gobber from How To Train Your Dragon 2).

[IndigoErth]

I was surprised at Leo being a dick and making fun of Big Foot with Casey. I would have expected that from Casey and Raph but not Leo.
Probably the only time I've ever wanted to bonk him on the head over something. Leo, your youth is showing, speaking of lack of foresight.

[BabyTurtles]

so glad I didn't see the episode.

[CyberCubed]

Guys, April was calming Don down. What was she to do, tear his heart out? April is not looking to getting it on with a Turtle. Please, people.

I'll say it again. This is not fanfiction.net, tumblr, or deviantart. Your minds are obviously being influenced by what you see in this places and applying it here. I doubt 40 year old adults have any interest in writing April on Turtle action.

Dude....kissing a guy to calm him down is stupid, unless she's Bella from twilight.

no girl in their right mind would kiss a guy she doesn't like on the lips to calm him down....sorry to be harsh, but don't even kid yourself.

April either likes her some attention or likes Donnie.

[pannoni1]

Unfortunately, this episode doesn't make much sense besides the obvious Star Wars, WWE, and purpose to make sure Bigfoot doesn't feel mad. I should have instead watched game one of the baseball playoffs. Thank goodness the animation was good and its welcome to have no Splinter/Foot/Kraang mentioned though.

Overall: 4/10

[ObiWanFan4life]

Uhh, ok. Shipping arguments aside, this was an entertaining episode. I'd hesitate to call it my favorite, and I didn't find it especially memorable, but it wasn't painful.

[Megchan]

In my personal opinion, I really don't see April as being a tease. Sure, her reaction to the music box wasn't exactly the best, but if you knew someone who had a crush on you and they gave you a gift with their picture on it, for no reason, you'd be uncomfortable too. April could very well be unsure of her own feelings towards Donnie. We just don't know. All we can do is wait and watch to see how the writers handle everything.

And I understand that not everyone will see things the same way that I do, but it would be nice if everyone just kept an open mind about everything.

[kolaida]

Gotta agree with BT here. The whole Apriltello thing I don't mind ( not a fan, but I don't hate it). However, due to what Donnie was saying and April's reaction- she either likes him or likes attention. He didn't really seem not calm to me, anyway, just kinda sad. No girl is going to kiss a guy friend to calm him down unless she likes him or really loves attention (or likes playing games). Or is drunk.

it would be nice to know where her mind was at.

[RedOnYellow]

Uhh, ok. Shipping arguments aside, this was an entertaining episode. I'd hesitate to call it my favorite, and I didn't find it especially memorable, but it wasn't painful.

Agreed. I guess it was because I had low expectations going into this episode, but it turned out better than I expected.

Nothing too amazing, but enjoyable.

Okay the hunter was kind of amazing. He had some legit moves.

[BabyTurtles]

Haven't seen the episode, but what was Casey even doing while all this love stuff was going down??

[JTH]

In my personal opinion, I really don't see April as being a tease.

I tend to agree with that, the fact that it was just a picture of him I believe would garner that reaction. It wasn't even a picture of him and her. I mean, if it's a gift to her from him, it should have at least had some kind of bonding towards them or her and some one else, perhaps even her and her father and she would have taken it much better.

[kolaida]

Haven't seen the episode, but what was Casey even doing while all this love stuff was going down??

Listening to Leo "be a dick" lol! He was mostly in the lab area working on the car. He wasn't around during any of it, lol.

[IndigoErth]

Or is drunk.
Probably the best answer right there. Someone found and hid an old stash of alcohol in the house. In two weeks, the public service anti-drinking episode.


As for Casey, he wasn't really even involved too much in this episode, and not around at all in the music box/kiss parts.

Largely a Donnie, Mikey, Bigfoot episode with a good dose of Raph in certain portions.

That kind of reaction, I understand perfectly. It's equivalent of someone painting a mural of you on public property. It's just why...why make it so hard to understand when you, yourself have done much to avoid at all cost. I don't know about you that means to me that she is not into Donnie and through out season 2, she made pretty strong hints that she was attracted to Casey. Hell, you can't fault girl having for urges but you can fault her if she doesn't know what the heck she wants.

[Bitsy83]

Agreed. A gay Bigfoot crushing on Donnie would have been funnier.

Especially the ending with the finger.

What would've been ten TIMES funnier was if Bigfoot thought Donnie was a girl. :lol: That would've made me laugh till I got a hernia.

I see Mikey being the star of that episode, lol. I'm sure he makes an awesome, happy drunk, lol.

Stop the idiocy. You keep forgetting this is a cartoon for kids. That kiss we saw was as 'April on turtle action' as this show is gonna get.

Regardless of if April gets with a mutant or a human were not gonna see her ride the banana you big sicko.

[snake]

Missed the episode. I was at NYCC. How was it?

[Bitsy83]

And I understand that not everyone will see things the same way that I do, but it would be nice if everyone just kept an open mind about everything.


THAT!!! Right there. It wasn't that April didn't like the thought behind his gift, but you got to admit a music box with his picture might have been a bit...well, overwhelming for her. Lord knows if my boyfriend or even a guy I was seriously crushing on did that for me, I'd be sort of creeped out too, even if I knew he himself wasn't a creep. Just think of a time when someone you loved gave you something you just didn't really want. I remember giving my mother a mug with my picture on it and she had a smile so forced, I thought her teeth were gonna break (I was 11 and it was at one of those photo places at the mall. Wasn't even that great of a picture...)

I honestly think she DOES care for Donnie and maybe would like to give them a chance.

Just not right now.

Remember guys, the earth is sort of - oh, I don't know - SLOWLY BEING TAKEN OVER BY AN ENTIRE ALIEN RACE BENT ON MUTATING THE PLANET!!!!!!!

April just wants her love life to be put on the back burner right now so they can focus on

A) Getting Leo back to full health and emotional stability.

B) Work on a plan to get back to New York undetected.

C) Take out Shredder

D) Find Splinter

E) Turn the mutated people back to normal, including Kirby

and

F) Completely annihilate the Kraang so we can get this stupid invasion plot done with!!!

Not particularly in that order, but these are probably the main things April's focusing on right now. Plus, we still have the deal with April's mother coming into the picture. I think the kiss was just to confirm Donnie that he doesn't need to keep trying so hard to win her affections because...well, he may have already won them. She certainly doesn't seem to be "playing house" with Casey.

She just wants to hit the "Pause" button right now. Or move really really slowly. This is not only her first boyfriend (that we know of), but also a boyfriend who isn't human, so it's a lot to take in.

Deal with the major, world-altering problems first, then work on who will take you to Murikami's on Saturday night.

[The Stryker]

Stop the idiocy. You keep forgetting this is a cartoon for kids. That kiss we saw was as 'April on turtle action' as this show is gonna get.

He's on your side dude.

[JTH]

He's on your side dude.
That's not the point of it.

The fact that Cubed even bothers to say it like anyone actually believes it would happen and is that moronic is...

Well, exactly as OP put it.

[NinjaPug]

Another episode in and I really don't like Seth Green as Leo. It's nothing against Green - I just don't think the new voice fits the character.

[JTH]

poor donnie... Let's just hope bigfoot doesn't wanna hug 'im and squeeze 'im and call him 'george'.


so, leo is recovering, and the boys are all adjusting to life on the surface. Fresh air, sunshine, a breeze that's not a mix of car exhaust and restaurant odors. No traffic, no people....nothing.

Just trees... Lots of trees.

We've already seen them deal with leo's mutagen/cereal/barf creature "the creep", so where else has his 'breakfast' traveled to in the forest?

But now we've got the hint about donnie and april coming up in this episode. Will the storyboards we saw months ago come true? Will donnie be dragged along by the nose, not understanding april's intentions? And how will casey react? Or is this all a smokescreen and we're only getting teased further?


And now we wait for tomorrow night... So very, very far away.

Stay tuned!

It was a silly episode. Didn't mind the 60's Batman stuff here.

[Ninjinister]

I'm almost 30. Guess I missed it.


So I haven't seen the episode because it's not online yet. Is KMR the voice of Bigfoot like everyone thought?

[ssjup81]

I'll say it again. This is not fanfiction.net, tumblr, or deviantart. Your minds are obviously being influenced by what you see in this places and applying it here. I doubt 40 year old adults have any interest in writing April on Turtle action.Your mind is on the gutter. I don't use these things ('cept ff.net and even then, I don't really venture into turtles fiction).

No girl would kiss a guy she has no potential interest in, in this context. That's called leading someone on. Have you ever been a relationship? Maybe one of them is down about something.

BF or GF: I'm such a dork.
BF or GF: You're my dork! (Kisses him/her).

Two friends...

Friend A: I'm such a dork.
Friend B: No you're not...*thinks of things to say to cheer him/her up*


The other times April kissed Donnie were understandable.

The first time, it was out of thanks for trying to protect her from Karai.

The other times, she was so happy that he made a retromutagen that she did and later on out of gratitude after Kirby was demutated. Not comparable.

[Warhorse]

Sounds like it. Lol. Once you get a certain age, getting laid is almost always on your mind.

Kick Ass is one of the best movies featuring a typical teenager. That whole beginning of the kid reaching that point in his life where he constantly thinking about girls/women and jerking off, is very much a reality for real teenagers all of the time. Most TV and movies sugar coat it, but once you hit that certain point in your life, your hormones go butt wild! Well, at least for the normal ones.

[IndigoErth]

They need to just pick a direction already though. All's Donnie is going to do now is keep on trying and she'll turn around and make more awkward exists, only to occasionally do something that confuses him yet again.

But, yeah, if you're not already serious, something with your picture in it like that for obvious reasons is a bit much. Way to make it awkward there, Champ. Next time.. no pic and just save it for her birthday.

Your punishment will be so severe that you're gonna need a new voice actor when I'm done with you!!!
:lol: I'll beat you so hard even your voice actor will feel it! Seems Biggs did, in the rear while booted out the door.

[MisfitKraang]

I really enjoyed the episode, it wasn't the best but I liked it. It was also really awesome to see the WWE and Hulk Hogan influence in The Finger:D

[Hakase]

Just finished watching the episode. I finally was able to catch up with the series, by binge watching between my classes. I don't know how to feel about this episode. I kinda wish Leo's voice never changed. Dominic Catrambone was a good Leo. I guess in time I'll get used to it. The beginning where Donatello tried giving April the music box was so sad ;____;.

I just think, for the April that we have, the one that is one minute, just taking an evening stroll with her father, not a thing out of the norm, and then, the next minute, starts her rollercoaster ride of both she and her dad being abducted by aliens, rescued by mutant turtles, finding out that you are not 100% human, end of the world and all. Casey might be the last thing she has left to a normal life, but maybe she is starting to realize she actually does feel something for Donnie, someone who has been there for her right from the beginning. So right now, she's probably confused and torn. Part of her wants that normal life, and part of her probably is falling for Donnie, but she's scared.

[Raph's Girl]

Anyone else pick up that The Finger mentioned his cousin Abbie? As in Abigail Finn...

One of the reasons he was chasing Big Foot was cuz he wanted to be a famous monster hunter like her.

[Ninjinister]

once you hit that certain point in your life, your hormones go butt wild! Well, at least for the normal ones.

Thanks for that.

[Warhorse]

With The Finger, I just felt like, he seemed like one of the hillbillies from Without a Paddle, strange enough considering who's now part of the cast on TMNT. The part where he's talking to the shrunken head, reminded me of the guy in the movie talking to the fish.

[Warrior]

dafuq did I just watch.

I'm even more bewildered after watching this than I was after watching pizza face. PF was an unpredictable sort of absurdity, but this was just painful. At least the animation was pretty.

[Leofan26]

Oh gosh no, April's become the Asami Legend of Korra season two of the group :(

Not that I've ever been a fan of her character but ick.

Writers do remember what's going on in New York right?

Love in these types of shows are bad enough but we've got love triangles too.

Did these guy's decide to take notes from the negative aspects of early seasons of Legend of Korra? Remember those dreadful days..

This episode had it's funny moments but they need to stop this love stuff, or I might have to stop. I miss my 2003 series :(

Awe Cybs, your comments always make me want to puke, fun to read :lol:

[Warhorse]

Thanks for that.

No problem. Anytime dude!:P

[Autbot_Benz]

so far turtles season 3 has been stupid filler halloween episodes. Just get back to Shredder already.

[OrangeNinja1987]

It was a nice episode. I liked some parts and didn't like others. How the heck could the Finger guy take on two ninja like that? He seemed way too powerful.
What I liked:
1. The "Yo mama jokes" at the end
2. Donnie and Mikey reacting to the wild
3. The humor outside of the fights was pretty funny
4. the vague reference to Abigail Finn. :D

What I didn't like:
1. the storyboard ending (I like Apritello, but that scene I never looked at myself on the storyboards but have heard so much hype for really let me down. Donnie's first kiss is such a cute scene, and then there's this that didn't feel genuine or cute.
2. Bigfoot.
3. The Finger
4. The "42 exploding arrows" gag. I really think they'd all explode at once and really do some damage, but I know that would have been too far.
5. the gross humor. Felt excessive this episode. One of the things I like about the show is that it usually doesn't go down to the level of gross-out jokes.
Overall: 6.8/10
Meh. Better than Pizza Face and Chinatown Ghost Story. It's got that going for it.

[miru]

This episode was surprisingly emotional. I thought it would be more Kraang monkey buisness.

[JTH]

Writers do remember what's going on in New York right?



Yes, I'm pretty sure they do...:roll:

In any form of martial arts, one of the basic codes is to clear your mind and not dwell on your failures. To allow you to refocus. If you can't put your failures out of your mind, they'll haunt you forever.

That's what the whole point of the Vision Quests will be for, to clear their minds, cleanse their souls, and allow them to refocus on how to take back the city.

I hope you're joking. The Creep episode was fantastic and this one was just fun.

I am guessing next week the Turtles meet up with the Scooby Gang.

And, it's only going to get worse. They have a new executive producer now, and he's also head writer of the writing team, and, he also loves them old 80's horror movies, and, we have already been confirmed that there will be a total of 13 episodes around April's farmhouse, and we also know we are going to get an episode where Freddy Kruger will be voicing some deranged beaver, so, I suggest sit back and let it all unfold.

[Luckyday]

I wonder if it's going to become american horror story level of crazy.

I wanna know what the Foot Clan and Kranngs are doing. I wanna know what happened to Splinter and Leatherhead. Heck I wanna know where Slash went off to. screw this stupid horror episode nonsense.

I'd rather they do a spoof on Goonies instead.

[BabyTurtles]

I'm....just gonna keep skipping these episodes...

Can someone tell me when it gets to something important? Shredder...Hun...EPF maybe....a deep character episode that doesn't include romance... (also nothing with April)

I might skip the one that has the frogs. I mean, their designs alone look stupid. But, I will have to admit, I watched this episode tonight with my cousins, and one of them has never really cared about the show, actually sat down, and was very amused about the whole Bigfoot crushing on Donnie. I don't think I've seen her laugh so hard in all of her 11 years.

[IndigoErth]

(also nothing with April)
How 'bout we just lose her in the woods for a while. Granted Donnie will be determined to find her so we either go without him for a bit too or lock him up in the house.

[BabyTurtles]

Never going to get back to New York are we? Back to the plot, shoot :x

[Autbot_Benz]

[RedOnYellow]

I'd totally kill for an episode with no turtles that deals with the current chaos in New York. Dunno if they'd go for that though.

Anyways, Ciro confirmed they'll be contacting Splinter within the next 5-6 episodes, so I highly doubt they're in North Hampton for more than half the season.

Oh, we'll get back, but it's going to be a while. And honestly, I am liking the break in atmosphere. Sadly, with the horror genre, the two horror series I really don't like, is being used as references. I am not a fan of Freddy and Jason. I do, however, like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, The Ring, Seven, Silence of the Lambs, Silent Hill (mostly just when Pyramid Head was in it) Scream, Jeepers Creepers, Final Destination and Jaws.

I would LOVE to have a reference to The Ring in there somewhere.

Oh damn! That would be a good one, when they get back to NYC. Leo has to babysit Tea time girl, and there is someone out there kidnapping nannies!:D

I would LOVE to have a reference to The Ring in there somewhere.

Especially considering the original was a Japanese story, it would work well with the TMNT.

[CyberCubed]

They're really going to make 13 episodes in Northampton? That's half the season!

I guess they gotta get their money's worth for the CG set they built for the woods and the farmhouse. This is why CG shows are tricky, they gotta use the same sets over and over again to get their money's worth.

[Warhorse]

I'm just curious, when watching this episode, what kind of commercials did you all get?

[Raph's Girl]

I generally don't pay attention to the commercials but I DID notice one for those ugly MLP Equestria Girls dolls....

[MartiusR]

Bleh, an I thought that previous episode was bad. This one was for me far worser. I felt so embarrased during watching this, that it was the first time, I was so close to stop watching (and to be honest, I regret that I haven't done this - there was nothing worthy to watch, up to the end of the episode). Definitely not my pair of shoes. Not to mention about so trivial idea as "yeti/big foot/sasquatch" thing - but that's (unfortunately) one of the less important weaknesses of this episode.

And I thought that whole Kraang-thing or episodes like Pizza-Face were weak. Ok, they're (at least for me), but not so terribly like this one:tconfuse:

[Vicky82]

Woke up early to watch the new episode as I got a busy day (i'm going to see a movie about 4 Turtles soon) :D

It was good, not the best but still good, It was funny, I was laughing thoughout the episode.

I guess they wanted this to be lighthearted episode because the last few episodes have been dark and serious and I have a feeling the next episode will be dark.

I was going to post thoughts later but I got to post thoughts on the movie aswell and I probably be too hyped up too, so I did it quickly.

This hunter is strange, he's talking to a shrunken head
The Finger! He's voiced by Jessie Venture, WWE wrestling legend now into politics.
Oh my god! Donnie put a picture of himself in the jewellery box he made for April. Creepy!
Raph trying to cheer Donnie up.
Aww Leo watching his brothers train.
I'm getting used to Seth Green voicing Leo now.
Aww Leo still hurting.
Lol Mikey, Big spiders playing banjo's
Wow Bigfoot is a good fighter.
Aww Bigfoot is injured and I see blood!
Donnie and Mikey want to take him back, this is similar to Mikey wanting to take Leatherhead home in season 1..
Lol Mikey mimicking Leo
Lol Bigfoot kisses Donnie
Lol Bigfoot feeding Donnie popcorn.
Mikey making the dinner and Bigfoot wants to help by putting roadkill in it.
Yuck! Mikey threw up in his pot of food.
Oh my god! Big Foot did his business in the bathtub.
Lol Raph got to clean out the tub and he puts a breathing mask on.
Aww Bigfoot cooking a meal for Donnie.
Lol Bigfoot and ICK screaming at each other.
Bigfoot throws the fridge freezer outside, poor ICK hope someone remembered to bring it back in.
Lol Apil giving Bigfoot a makeover.
Leo and Casey you idiots, you hurt Bigfoot's feelings.
Lol Mikey and Donnie doing the 'Your Mama' Jokes at The Finger.
The A- team vs The Finger
The Finger Hulking up is a reference to Hulk Hogan.
Loved the wrestling moves in this fight: The Bodyslam, The Dropkick, The Backbreaker and the Leg Drop.
Lol Bigfoot and The Finger fall in love and Bigfoot carries him off.
April Kisses Donnie, so the storyboards are real.

[Ashwolf]

A) Getting Leo back to full health and emotional stability.

leos sure gonna be for a rough time w/ the dark raph and speed demon stuff coming

[evan2000]

So I haven't seen the episode because it's not online yet. Is KMR the voice of Bigfoot like everyone thought?

No, Diedrich Bader voiced Bigfoot.

They're really going to make 13 episodes in Northampton? That's half the season!

I guess they gotta get their money's worth for the CG set they built for the woods and the farmhouse. This is why CG shows are tricky, they gotta use the same sets over and over again to get their money's worth.

During NYCC when Ciro & co were asked if the turtles will return to NY soon, they said no, they will stay out of the city "for a few months". So I guess half the season is about right.

[kelligrafie]

Splinter will be calling in to give the boys love advice for a couple of episodes, the boys really need it 8)

The boys are bored one night (stands to reason in an old farmhouse in the middle of nowhere) so ring a naughty hotline and get Splinter.


Can you imagine the Big Foot/Finger babies? They'd look like a cross between Chewbacca and Jack Black.



You know I wouldn't mind all this love triangle crap half as much if it weren't for all the puffed up idiots with self righteous arguments. I would grudgingly bear it, were it not for 'apritello4eva' demanding this and 'capril2013lovechick' proclaiming that.

You have a right to your opinion as long as it's the same as mine, if it's not, then it becomes invalid.

Maybe we could do with a Big Foot style episode where certain fans get to see how obsessively creepy they're getting over this.

[shredder orokusaki]

Id rather have a whole episode with Shredder and the Foot clan trying to hunt down Splinter or something instead of these dumb horror filler episodes

The episodes where i fight the turtles are the best! This one was stupid filler episode!!

[Bloxxsaur]

This episode was alright- the humour was alright and it was nice to see some more personallity in Raph for once, but I think it went a bit over the top with some of the visual gags here and there. (e.g. Mikey vomiting into the cooking pot, Donny and Mikey as they start running away from Big Foot).

I'm not sure but has the animation quality gone up? It seems more fluid and the backgrounds are nicer.
I also noticed that they actually showed Big Foot's injury; it was only scrapes and a little red for dried blood but still, as far as I can remember we've not actually seen blood before. Remember when Mikey got his arm hurt fighting Rhazar when they were rescuing Karai? They just showed his normal arm. When anyone got hurt in this show they didn't show more than a differnt texture on the turtles skin.

It's a really small detail and it's weird how much it stuck out for me above everything else in the episode, but I really appreciate it.

[Wildcat]

Didnt really care for this episode. Least favorite since Parasitica. I think that was a bit better though.

It was just dumb. Bigfoot should have been a serious character to go along with The Finger hunting it. Well whatever.

[drgon78]

I liked the episode, especially the end part. Though the next one is the one I am really interested in.

[madyankees]

Disappointing "filler" episode for me. Not that funny and didn't really seemed to move the story much.

I actually held up some hope that this episode will finally help kill off Apriltello but nope...the madness continues.

[matteso586]

When Casey yelled "ITS BIGFOOT", I was thinking of A Goofy Movie.

[ssjup81]

Is this episode online yet? I can't use the Nick site. I checked Amazon, but they only seem to have ep 1 of season 3.

[zantha]

i liked it, it made me laugh at bits. with the last few episodes, it is nice to have a episode like this one. to be honest I was going to like this episode either way, cause there was a lot of Mikey and Donnie. they are just so sweet together. Donnie is my favourite, he is the smartest and one of the more mature of them, but I like that when he is around Mikey at times he regresses a little and acts more his age. (the second Youngest of the brothers." I also loved the ending with big foot at the look they gave each other, like I don't know, but just go with it.

the only think I don't know about it when Raph said, something to the effect of, now you know how April feels. I get that there is some hate toward the way he acts with April. so maybe they felt that they had to point that out, but as far as I remember he never followed her around, when she clearly didn't feel comfortable with it.

okay yes when she was mad at them at the start of season 2 he did. however he never invaded her personal space, then or at any other point. he happened to be in the same area as he thought she would be and took the change to see if he could see her, know that she was safe. as she is still being targeting by the Kraang. the second time I believe he is doing the same thing, once she finds him he leaves her alone. I know he has not been perfect, but he is not as bad as some people make him out to be. if anything, honestly big foot reminded me more of Casey, the way he acts with April at times.

this has been said before, but if she felt really uncomfortable April would say something, she doesn't. yes she didn't know what to say about the magic box, but apart for that she dose at any point in the episode or any other than when she was mad at them all, ever want to get away from Donnie. she is the one the starts all of the contact between them. she kisses him again in this episode.

I don't know what to make of that, if the point was for Donnie to move on, then the didn't follow though at the end. as Donnie said summing I think the episode perfectly, I understand nothing.

I'm sure most of this has been said before, so sorry for that and the kind of rant.

[Donnieangelo]

The Finger's mama was a shrunken head...

And he was talking to himself! This guy is much weirder than Abigail Finn (from 2003, yes). :o

I hope it's not just a throwaway line and we actually get to see the alien-hunting reality show one day!

[Zulithe]

I laughed out loud 2 or 3 times this episode... I don't usually have that reaction to this show. Few of those jokes were just too good :lol:

Fun episode for sure. The Finger was a weird villain, but it's cool to see more non-mutant/monster villains once in a while.

[Donnieangelo]

[BubblyShell22]

Pretty good episode. Loved seeing Don and Mikey together as that's something we don't see too much of, and I liked how Raph was leading the training session. Too bad Leo couldn't go with them due to his bum leg. Poor guy! I really hope he gets better soon! Loved The Finger and how he was voiced by Jesse Ventura and the wrestling references were great, too. I caught the Abigail Finn reference and laughed. Yeah, I felt sorry for Donnie in this one about the music box, though I can see why April felt the way she did. I think at the end, she realized that she'd treated Don badly and that she really does like him more than she thought she did, so that's why she kissed him. Glad to see the storyboards were real, and they played it out well. Also loved Bigfoot and thought he was hilarious. Overall, a pretty good and fun episode. Can't wait for next week's episode for sure.

[psychturtle]

Skipping episodes because they aren't major plots?? You guys do realize that no point will be proven to the producers by your missing the episode lol. But feel free to not to watch.

I've grown to enjoy these episodes. Sure they aren't powerful in terms of story arc, but they are pretty fun and show the guys and gal in different contexts which I find fun. I'm happy to see them in a different setting.

As far as this episode, I liked that Ciro put the whole ancient astronaut theory in the storyline with Bigfoot being a previous krang experiment. Fun episode with some good, enjoyable awkwardness. Loved hearing The Body in this. Anyone catch the hulk hogan epic leg drop? Haha

[Warhorse]

I generally don't pay attention to the commercials but I DID notice one for those ugly MLP Equestria Girls dolls....

Well, there was all of this talk about how studio execs want cartoons to cater to boys because they are the ones that buy toys, and I've noticed on Nick, when TMNT come on, it's been mostly girl stuff they've been advertising. So, it makes me wonder if they know girls are possibly in the majority who watch the show.

Sometimes Donnie's affection towards April is so unintentionally creepy yet so difficult to hide, especially when he gets panic! Remember these?

http://i.imgur.com/rjpa4Zt.gif http://i.imgur.com/R2CbJKm.gif

There could be a lot more of these examples off-screen too, but generally it's very common for one-way crush to be perceived as creepy by the other party (and sometimes, even third parties who saw it). Donnie probably couldn't see himself as being creepy all the while, until one day when he tastes his own medicine. This episode is the perfect opportunity for Donnie to learn this lesson, to a point that he almost decided to "let it go". And then what d'ya know, April gave him high hopes again, confusing him further :tlol:

I looked up/read that junk the other day, seriously, wtf. If Nick and the TMNT gang are embracing that it has female and adult fans, it's appreciated. At least someone recognizes our money has the same dollar numbers on it, glad it's a show I like.

[Gorilla Grodd]

A weird but fairly fun episode. Not much to say about it really. I kind of feel like the writers intent with the kiss at the end was just to comfort Donnie while he was feeling down. But the execution was just all wrong. It was a very poor way of going about it since like many have said a kiss like that says romance not friendship and is just going to give Donnie more hope.

[BubblyShell22]

I want to point out that Jesse Ventura, who voices The Finger in this episode, used to have a show on TruTV called "Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura" where he'd investigate certain conspiracies. Seems fitting that he'd voice a character who's after a creature who's been known to be a myth for the most part.

[Warhorse]

I get that there is some hate toward the way he acts with April. so maybe they felt that they had to point that out, but as far as I remember he never followed her around, when she clearly didn't feel comfortable with it.

Raphael has been just about as confusing in all of this as April has. He's already told Donnie all the way back in season one, that it wouldn't work, that he was just getting his hopes up for nothing. But, Raph has also been the one to pull Donnie out of an awkward situation when he sticks his foot in his mouth in front of April. When April was pissed at them, Raph would be like one minute, saying to Donnie that she'll be back, she just needs so time to cool off, and then in another minute, he says that she's probably gone for good. Then of course, we got the whole thing where Casey started asking Raphael questions about April, and Raph was quick to reply that he doesn't want to discuss it because he knows how Donnie feels about April, and then he sees Casey's artwork on April, and he looked not amused by the whole thing. I just think Raphael is just as torn as April, in that he doesn't want his brother being hurt, but he also doesn't like it that both guys are smothering April either. Maybe there will be an episode where he has to be the adult for once and tell them both to knock their sh!t off, or tell April to either pick one and stop this nonsense for good.

[zantha]

when it cames to metalhead, she knew that he was there. he was not spying on her, she knew that he could see her. that there was a chance he could at some point turn to look at her. just like when you sit next to someone. if they look in your direction it is nor creepy. you know they are there. thinking she couldn't hear he said how pretty he thought she was and he was glad she couldn't see him glancing at her. he knew that it would be creepy to stare at her. yes he did it, but he never set out and shows he knows enough to not do it.

the second one he got nervous and couldn't explain himself well. he was making a good point comparing Arpil to kaira was not far. kaira has far more experience, no matter how long April trains for she will not have the natural, second nature skill I think that comes from being trained as a ninja your whole life, like Kaira and the turtles. also she could get them inside information.

he is not perfect, he makes mistakes, but I still have never seen him do anything that ever to me any way felt creepy, or stockeris. he had had no experience with these kinds of feelings and id trying his best to deal with them, figuring it out as he goes. it is trial and error and he learns from his mistakes. most importantly, April does not treat him like she feels he is treating her in this way. if she did she would avoid him, she doesn't she feels very comfortable with him. she would have let him finish what he was going to say in the invasion and turned him down to put a end to it for good. again she never did. that means that where or not she feels the say way, or might at some point, she does like him and feel comfortable about around him. there for to her he is not creepy. that is the main think what she thinks.

He's not creepy, he's just naive. Look, unlike Casey, he's been locked away down in a sewer with no intelligent contact outside his brothers and Splinter, and 0, that is 0, experience in interracting with the opposite sex. You can read all of the books and watch all of the stuff on TV, movies and online, and it still won't replace good ole fashion experience. He's never had that before. It's almost like watching Captain America, as old as he is, his experience with women are not exactly his strength, and he too is awkward and doesn't know how to reply in some situations. He never told Peggy he outright liked her, but yet, she finally realized when she sees that film with him in possession of a watch with her picture inside it.

[IndigoErth]

Just one of those lessons Donnie is going to have to learn. If you push too much, you end up looking desperate, and desperation pushes people away. If there's any amount of April that could ever feel mutually, she has to be given the breathing room to have the opportunity to meet him half way on it herself...

yeah that is it, total. he is naïve and is just learning as he goes. making mistakes, but learning for them. he never makes the same mistake twice, except arguing with Casey, but that is a two way thing.

back to the episode, I love Raph. he was kind of like a mother hen keeping eye on everyone and keeping things running. I have really liked the development of Raph in this show. he has grown a lot, while still retaining his anger and aggression, he has learned to focus it in the right way.

I also liked the staring of the theme of them getting in touch a with nature and learning from that. I cant wait to see the episode they talked about at ny comic con, where they get their new looks.

[evan2000]

Anyone thought "Darth Vader!!" when Raph puts on the gas mask and starts making heavy breathing sound? :tlol:

[zantha]

was I the only one that wanted to see Mikey rushing out of the house to the fridge and ice cream kitty when big foot throws it out the window.

[The Stryker]

I'm alittle bummed that they had the perfect out to put the whole Donatello/April thing on the backburner or on the shelf entirely and they just circled around. Leaving it pretty much exactly where it was before.

Especially since the whole relationship is tired and the point is way past driven.

[TurtleTitan97]

One of the funniest fillers I've seen from this show. The scene with Bigfoot and ICK had me laughing so much. :lol:

I think i will just headcon that he did while big foot is getting a make over.

No, I don't think it went back to exactly where it was before. This is the first time April actually showed slight affection towards Donnie willingly. Genuinely from her heart, and not because of other events like when her father was saved or when the retro-mutagen was successfully formulated.

For all you know, this might just be the very beginning of a beautiful relationship, certainly not "driven past the point" to me.

Maybe next episode, Buried Secrets, the truth comes out about April's mom, and Casey isn't too open minded about it, and he drops his side of the fight once and for all, and triangle is now over. But then again, when Renet shows up, they might get flashed to the future and see things that might shake stuff up again.

When you go back and listen to conversation, it was almost like Donnie's way of saying "I love you", without actually saying "I love you."

And then April followed it up on her side saying "I love you" without saying it either.

So it's like they are getting there, but they're still just not quite able to say those three words to one another. :D

Seeing how Donnie and Casey laughed and teased at each other so often (especially in the last two episodes), and since Casey just started asking Raph if April ever talked about him to the turtles three episodes ago, I'd say their rivalry over April still has a loooong way to go.

Ah hell, then why don't they just do what Patrick Swayzee and Demi Moore did in Ghost, and just go "Ditto!"

[JTH]

Also, according to the credits.

Bigfoot was NOT Kevin Michael Richardson as speculated.

Bigfoot was actually done by Diedrich Bader, who I remember most from The Drew Carey Show, but it definitely makes sense as he has done many voice acting roles of late, including many things for Nick over the years.

[IndigoErth]

Alright I learned something new today :tlol:

"Olive juice."

Cute!:P

Alright I learned something new today :tlol:

Yep, that could be one way. Or, since this is Donatello we are talking about, the smart one out of the group, I'm sure he's read up on some other languages. Maybe he could tell her in, Elvish, Vulcan or Klingon!

[JTH]

Alright I learned something new today :tlol:
That some people think two words is three? ;)

[ssjup81]

Ok, thanks to evan, I was able to watch this episode. I gotta say, I pretty much laughed all the way through. I was also creeped out most of the way through. lol

I'm not going to lie, though. I liked this episode, but seems that the lesson taught and learned here regarding Donnie's advances towards April would be better applied to Casey, not Donnie.

I only say this, because Donnie, at no point that I've noticed, has he ever hovered over April. He's never forced a hug or a kiss on her. It was usually mutual and in season 1, most of those hugs were initiated by April herself. Donnie, for the most part, let April call the shots, but that music box was a bit much, I'll admit. Maybe if he'd just made the music box for her without his picture, the reaction would've been better. Personally, the photo would've been appropriate if it was a going away present. You know, a momento. With the storyboards, I figured it was in connection to his spirit quest.

Okay, other stuff...the ICK stuff had be really laughing. The Finger....was creepy, but he was being voiced by Jesse "the body" Ventura. Talk about a nostalgia trip to the WWF. The Finger was weird, though. The wrestling moves he did were great.

Okay...the kissing/storyboard stuff. I'm with Donnie. "I understand nothing". I'm under the impression, given the context that she does like Donnie in some way, because she did kiss him. Why kiss him like that? The other times April has kissed him (on the cheek) has been out of thanks and gratitude. This time was different, and if she didn't harbor some type of feelings, seems she just would've hugged him and said, "You're more than a mutant. You're a great person (insert other compliments here)". Y-yeah, I really think they're going towards the whole Donnie x April thing at some point.

Let's see, I LOVED Mikey and Raph for this ep, and it kinda makes me wonder in the beginning if Mikey genuinely though the music box was a good idea. I like how energetic Raph was to train, but boy did I feel bad that he had to clean the tub. That did gross me out. Raph should've gone into rage mode and made her clean it up. Compared to previous incarnations, he seems to have a very mild temper by comparison.

Oh yeah, when first meeting Bigfoot, the way "he" was standing, while holding Mikey by the face (*laughs at the irony*) was very feminine. lol

It was nice how Mikey agreed with Donnie to take care of Bigfoot's injury.

When Leo said what he said which ran Bigfoot off, I love how Mikey reacted to it. "What is wrong with you guys!" I love Mikey moments like that, just like in the Leatherhead ep.

I like how the Finger was defeated.... but him and Bigfoot paired up is...well...creepy? I dunno. I really wasn't expecting it.

When they were training, I found it surprising that they hadn't done any training in the woods after being in North Hampton for 3 whole months. Last ep they were training and Mikey and Donnie were doing fine. I guess my theory is that neither wanted to be too far away from Leo until he awoke from his coma. Raph constantly watched over him, and the other two I'm sure were doing things "close to home".

I kinda like these lighthearted episodes as I do feel it's needed after what happened at the end of season 2. Like others, though, I am definitely looking forward to learning more about April's mother. That's one thing on my "hopes for season 3" list. ^_^

Oh, btw, I was discharged today (October 11). I'm on my laptop. I still have to stay off another week from work though. At least I can use my laptop and not my phone. I've hit my limit for this month anyway, apparently. I think watching episode 1 + video chatting on Skype did it. lol

First off. I am so glad to see you are out and up on your feet! You've been a bright spot on these forums and I look forward to your commentary. I really do hope for the best for you! :)

Second, you're mentioning how we haven't seen Raph lose his temper yet. You think that he's either matured now, or is he possibly harboring it all in, to be strong for everyone else. Because he looked like he was about to lose it in the finale of season 2. Things that he has seen, for his personality type, don't just go away. They just get bottled up until something comes along and triggers it.

[IndigoErth]

Yeeeahhhh... I have a vague hope that maybe it was intended more as a mother's love over this "sad man" who was so obsessed with his shrunken head 'mother' and I guess was that alone in life. Or... maybe not. Must catch a repeat.

I meant that his temper is mild (sans the OT and Archie versions of him) compared to past incarnations overall, which makes me wonder how this "Dark Raph" storyline will actually play out. As for wanting Raph to rage over having to clean the tub, I just meant that in a comedic sense. lolYeeeahhhh...

[victory_angel]

I know the Episode was meant to show Donnie what he has been doing to April. But alot of the more love sick puppy behavior was for season 1 not season 2.

Even then Donnie didn't come off as strongly as Big Foot was doing.

Yeah there were moments when Donnie was making April uncomfortable in the beginning. And she does call him out on it when he's staring at her.
It was during Monkey Brains that she begins to see him in a new light because that is when she sees his vulnerable side. Seeing him get hurt by trying to fend off monkey rockwell, seeing him offence towards insulting words that can apply to him, and also seeing how his bros can be jerks to him some times.

Even the whole chart debacle thing. Donnie is a strategist and charting possible outcomes is one way of showing that. And even then the examples he gives are just attempts to get to know her as a person and spend time with her. Not force her to have sex with him.

And the moments where April is more welcoming to Donnie is when he's being himself as her friend not when he's trying to charm her.

And Donnie has been fairly respectful of April's boundaries. He's never outright kisses her or hugged her, nor has he required that she do so to him.

The only time he feels expectant of a hug is when Alien Agenda, and he respects that she didn't want one at that time.

And he hasn't attempted to make April dinner or anything of that sort.

With Big Foot, Donnie wasn't the only man she has encountered. He was the only man who has been kind to her. As she says "The Finger" is badness, but Donnie is goodness.
And she takes the kindness with the wrong impression. And despite how uncomfortable she makes him feel, Donnie still runs into the wood after her to get her to calm down.

Yay, congrats on being discharged. Keep resting up, we don't want you back in there any time soon!

Yes, Raph's temper seems more mild now, I kinda like it. But I do agree with Warhorse that he is probably bottling it up and will snap at some point. He honestly seems the most mature to me and pretty accepting of whatever may be. I'd love to see him pound Shredder.

Also, I loved Mikey's reaction to Leo and Casey hurting Bigfoot's feelings, lol. But I felt kinda bad because I was also laughing, lol!!!

[hypnock]

Also, I loved Mikey's reaction to Leo and Casey hurting Bigfoot's feelings, lol. But I felt kinda bad because I was also laughing, lol!!!

I like that part of Mikey too. It shows that he really cares about other's feeling, like the time when Ralph teased Donnie and Mikey said about a heart.

But how did he know? He was sleeping. :roll:

[THGhost]

I thought Bigfoot should have been male.

Here we go again. :roll:

Guys, April was calming Don down. What was she to do, tear his heart out? April is not looking to getting it on with a Turtle. Please, people.

I'll say it again. This is not fanfiction.net, tumblr, or deviantart. Your minds are obviously being influenced by what you see in this places and applying it here. I doubt 40 year old adults have any interest in writing April on Turtle action.

Says the guy who wanted Big Foot to be gay. :lol: This is a kids show remember, we're not gonna be seeing same-sex relationships. Never mind inter-species relationships.

A half-decent filler episode with a few good moments, nothing special.

Poor Ice Cream Kitty! :(

I wish they wouldn't, I wasn't a fan of that recent special. I prefer the old animation. At least they've still got the original voices.

Speaking of animation, I was disappointed to not see much of Crognar the Barbarian in this episode.

[ObiWanFan4life]

Was I the only one who thought of Tom Hanks in Cast Away when the hunter brought out that shrunken head?

[gunstarheroblue]

Bleh, an I thought that previous episode was bad. This one was for me far worser. I felt so embarrased during watching this, that it was the first time, I was so close to stop watching (and to be honest, I regret that I haven't done this - there was nothing worthy to watch, up to the end of the episode). Definitely not my pair of shoes. Not to mention about so trivial idea as "yeti/big foot/sasquatch" thing - but that's (unfortunately) one of the less important weaknesses of this episode.

And I thought that whole Kraang-thing or episodes like Pizza-Face were weak. Ok, they're (at least for me), but not so terribly like this one:tconfuse:

agreed, parts in this episode and last made me cringe - most of these villain flavours of the week have been down right terrible along with the various gags that go with them.
Also Seth green's Leo making fun of bigfoot mildly reminded me of his "Robot Chicken" humour- uncharacteristic for Leo to be like that at all.

not the best start to a season ,if 13 episodes are to be at the farmhouse, we are in for a long haul hmnn whats going to be next weeks farmhouse monster? as someone has mentioned at times this seems more like Scooby-Doo than TMNT - but hey i guess the kids like it so i guess thats all that matters.

[ssjup81]

I forgot to mention that I liked that New Jersey joke by Mikey. lol

[evan2000]

Was I the only one who thought of Tom Hanks in Cast Away when the hunter brought out that shrunken head?

For some reason I thought of The Simpsons Treehouse Of Horror XII first, there was a gypsy in that ep who owns several shrunken heads that expands and come alive when sprinkled with water. And then she had to use a hair dryer to shrink them back to their original state. Pretty freaky actually for a cartoon.

True, although while I wanted to thump Leo upside the the head for it (lightly, we don't need to add a concussion) and was slightly taken aback by that line.... at the same time though I was thinking now that really it only adds to his depth, that even someone who's usually pretty cautious and careful is still bound to put their foot in their mouth on a rare occasion and helps show that he's imperfect and 'only human,' so to speak.

[Jephael]

I watched the episode with my 4 year-old nephew the other night and he really enjoyed it. We both cracked up at Mikey's vision of a giant spider playing a banjo.

I am so gonna use that to describe the spiders that keep creeping into my house. I love this show's bizarre sight gags. :P

[Midnight Mutant]

I kinda hope next week's or one of the others has a bit of a wink to the Evil Dead Movies.
I thought the part when April was tripped and pulled back into the woods was kind of an Evil dead wink. Like when the girl was trying to come up from the cellar, almost made it, was tripped and pulled back down.

The scenes looked almost identical.

Unless that was suppose to be a wink to something else?

[ernesth100]

When you're a teenager, boners come first. The rest can wait.

This is agreeable.

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, I agree about the part with the hearts reminding me of Powerpuff Girls. I loved that show too as I'm a Bubbles fan.

[Midnight Mutant]

Alright. I liked this episode, it was cute. Every turtle had a bit of screen time or memorable moments despite the show being Donnie focused.

I wanted so badly for Bigfoot to think Donnie was a girl. So, so, so, SO bad! I have always seen Donnie as the more feminine or pretty one, the most hygienic and neat. I was sad that it didn't play that way, because that would have made me laugh for life! I did enjoy Bigfoot and the crazy crush! XD

I'd also like to note that I don't think Bigfoot really said it was male or female, and didn't seem to mind being called either one. They all assumed it was a male, until the crush happened...then everyone assumed it was female. So, it's very possible that Bigfoot could have been male/gay. I mean, it doesn't matter either way, but I'm just saying the gender was only said from the assumption of the characters by Bigfoot's appearance and crush, which we all know can be misleading.

The finger. Well....I didn't like him as much as I wanted too and I thought he was....a tad too strong and really nonchalant about seeing giant talking turtles. He was amusing enough tho and it was nice to see a human foe.

I personally...liked Leo being a dick and laughing with Casey.
1. It's bonding between Casey and Leo, which we never see.
2. Boys...teen boys, are mean and cocky when they are around each other, especially if one is 'chill' and 'cool' (casey) and the other is more of a 'nerd' or 'nice guy' (leo). Stooping to a common level is not uncommon in this case.
3. This isn't the first time that Leo has teased or made fun of someone before. He's done it to Donnie when they all laughed at him for being hurt by a monkey. He's been teased in return. Bigfoot just doesn't know them and they don't know her so since it was an outsider they were making fun of it seemed a little more mean spirited, even tho all the teasing is mean spirited.
4. Shows that Leo is still maturing and tho he's grown a lot, he's still just a teenie bop and working through all of that on top of everything else.

Donnie/April kiss. I'm, so confused by this. I'm not a shipper and I like both Donnie and Casey enough for them to ''get the girl''. I'd be satisfied with both if it came down to it. It's just the way they have been portraying April to stay neutral but has shown a little more interest in Casey...the kiss just thew me off. There wasn't any build up to it. There was no 'omg' moment for April to initiate the kiss. We need some kind of inner monologue from her or better subtle hints. It was just out of nowhere for me because she seemed like she was trying to push both of them away in the friend zone so she didn't have to hurt either one of them.

So..I don't know how I feel about it honestly. Not happy, not upset, just confused.

Leo's voice. Seth has started going up into his higher octave and I couldn't bee happier! I was a smidge afraid they would keep him in that low batman voice, but there were parts that I totally forgot it was Seth. I kind of can't wait for a Leo centric episode so I can hear more dialog.

All in all, the episode was good, cute, funny, weird....confusing. But, I liked it.

Anyone else think of 'The venture bros' when Bigfoot fell for the hunter?

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, I like the higher register when he gasped about them bringing Bigfoot to the house. That was well done, and I really like Seth's take on Leo. He's just awesome. And I agree about another Leo-centric episode, but I'm biased, so there you go.

[Powder]

I REALLY liked this episode. A lot. Pretty much all down-time & character exploration with a dope fight thrown in at the end. Interesting stuff with April & Donnie. Loved the gross-out humor. Enjoying all the nature sets so much. The finger was kinda cool, albeit goofy. I wish they'd have just called him Bonesteel, though. Might as well have been him, after all.

[IndigoErth]

We need some kind of inner monologue from her or better subtle hints.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm feeling about it right now.

I'm not against it, but with her just remaining a mystery this long and bouncing back and forth like that, it's starting to get a little annoying. It would be funner as an audience imo if we did get some sort of inner monologue or hints that only the audience sees so the audience is in on it. Like other things where two characters may be into each other but don't know it's mutual, it's fun to be able to root for them to happen.

April being a mystery though, it just feels, to me, like she doesn't have an equal part in that storyline and is simply the prize to be won through some silly event that wins her.


Also agree, the next Leo centric episode will be nice to see. I don't mind that he's kind of taking a break and laying low for a bit. But the more we see of him the sooner I'll manage to get used to that new voice of his.


Really what I think needs to happen is more Leo/April hang out time, the subject of Donnie being into her just happens to lightly come up via Leo, even if he's just jokingly mentioning it (but not in a bad way) and we get some kind of vague hint of either a slight yay or nay from April... And then Leo has to keep his mouth shut over it. He could be a good confidant, and hell, she's the one he went to, so why not.

I like everything about this episode, except that last scene. Everything else was pretty great. I didn't get Ventura reference but I still enjoyed the character. Fight scene between him and Donnie was straight out of a loony toon.

Glad to see such a nice opinion. A lot of the more 'wacky' episodes in this series tend to get the most hate, but I found myself laughing often throughout this episode.

April's reaction to Bigfoot's first Donnie kiss was one of the funniest moments of the series. "Whoa...".

[Metalwolf]

I also noticed that they actually showed Big Foot's injury; it was only scrapes and a little red for dried blood but still, as far as I can remember we've not actually seen blood before. Remember when Mikey got his arm hurt fighting Rhazar when they were rescuing Karai? They just showed his normal arm. When anyone got hurt in this show they didn't show more than a differnt texture on the turtles skin.

It's a really small detail and it's weird how much it stuck out for me above everything else in the episode, but I really appreciate it.I'm wondering if it is isn't because they have better animation, but because they now know they can do it without being afraid of the soccer mom groups.



Fun episode for sure. The Finger was a weird villain, but it's cool to see more non-mutant/monster villains once in a while.I agree on both accounts. I actually liked the Finger, and it's nice to see more villains that aren't mutants or aliens. Plus with the awesome moves this guy could do and his prowess with archery, it has me wishing that Timmy could have met up with this guy and apprenticed with him, instead of trying to turn himself into a mutant. This guy proves you don't have to be a mutant (same with Shredder) to kick some serious butt.

Skipping episodes because they aren't major plots?? You guys do realize that no point will be proven to the producers by your missing the episode lol. But feel free to not to watch.

I've grown to enjoy these episodes. Sure they aren't powerful in terms of story arc, but they are pretty fun and show the guys and gal in different contexts which I find fun. I'm happy to see them in a different setting. Same here. While there are one or two episodes that I didn't actually care for (Pizzaface comes to mind) most of the rest I pretty much liked. I think the only time I was losing my patience at any non plot episodes, was when it was right after a cliff hanger or game changer and they weren't acknowledging it in that episode. Other then that, it wasn't that bad.

As far as this episode, I liked that Ciro put the whole ancient astronaut theory in the storyline with Bigfoot being a previous krang experiment. Fun episode with some good, enjoyable awkwardness. Loved hearing The Body in this. Anyone catch the hulk hogan epic leg drop? HahaI'm wondering if it isn't actually a means of 'muddying the waters' as to mankind's origins. The Kraang had said they 'created mankind' but I assumed with that it was a straight conversion from chimpanzee (or bonobo) to human. But with Donnie's comment about a 'missing link' and his mention of an extinct hominid group, I'm wondering if the Kraang might not just be lying so they can weaken mankind's morale. Plus if humans are at the most point mutants in some degree, why aren't they double mutating instead when hit with mutagen? They should still have traces of mutagen in their bodies unless the stuff doesn't get passed on with offspring.

Well, there was all of this talk about how studio execs want cartoons to cater to boys because they are the ones that buy toys, and I've noticed on Nick, when TMNT come on, it's been mostly girl stuff they've been advertising. So, it makes me wonder if they know girls are possibly in the majority who watch the show.

I looked up/read that junk the other day, seriously, wtf. If Nick and the TMNT gang are embracing that it has female and adult fans, it's appreciated. At least someone recognizes our money has the same dollar numbers on it, glad it's a show I like.Maybe that's why they are adding the 'older' stuff and showing a tiny bit of blood (on Bigfoot's arm) because it isn't just very young and male audiences anymore. I'm betting that this might even improve ratings and help it last longer, because if a show isn't afraid to broaden it's horizons, it can show more beyond what it originally was limited to. And often that adds to a far better storytelling and viewing experience.

[travelingcat]

Definitely a light hearted episode, but not a fan of all the romance comedy. I also didn't get the wrestling references with The Finger and it's really strange having him talking to his, um, mother. At least he was human, and it was nice hearing the Abigail Finn reference.

Seth's voice is still sounding good, especially now that Leo's not sounding as weak as last episode.

Donnie's picture in the music box was a bit much, and him getting a little perspective wasn't terrible. I really felt for him listening to him talk to April at the end. :(

Really like how Raph is taking charge with training while Leo's still recovering, and seeing the fight scenes in the forest.

Poor ICK. :lol:

[Ninjinister]

What the s**t this episode's still not on Amazon yet.

EDIT: nvm found it on PSN

[Megchan]

Yeeeahhhh... I have a vague hope that maybe it was intended more as a mother's love over this "sad man" who was so obsessed with his shrunken head 'mother' and I guess was that alone in life. Or... maybe not. Must catch a repeat.

That's exactly how I saw it as well.

[Ninjinister]

Anyone else pick up that The Finger mentioned his cousin Abbie? As in Abigail Finn...

One of the reasons he was chasing Big Foot was cuz he wanted to be a famous monster hunter like her.

Okay so I finally saw the episode and he did NOT say his cousin was named Abby. Sounded more like something to the effect of "Fatback" but it definitely was nothing even close to "Abby".

Unless my hearing's starting to go finally.

[IndigoErth]

Thought I'd just missed something, but now knowing what part it was I had heard the same thing you did.

[Garfield]

I'm alittle bummed that they had the perfect out to put the whole Donatello/April thing on the backburner or on the shelf entirely and they just circled around. Leaving it pretty much exactly where it was before.

Especially since the whole relationship is tired and the point is way past driven.

I hear ya.

The exit to this thing was right there. When Don stated that he'd leave her alone and stop crushing on her. She should have thanked him for his consideration and they would both move on.

They really need to @#$% or get off the pot with this love triangle.

I was going to say that I don't care either way, but I rather they didn't go with Don/April. Just because I loath this version of April. She comes off as such a "string you along" "lead you on" to feed her ego tease. And this version of Don is so much more likeable when he isn't a love struck white knighting dope.

[jazzmatazz]

While I'm also a bit annoyed with the whole April ending. I'm honestly not too upset over it if I reflect back on being a teen girl. I was rather a late bloomer but when I did start getting into people I essentially became a big tease but not fully understanding what the hell I was doing. Also teen girls seem to have a hard time grasping guys have feelings too. Or maybe that was just the group I grew up with.

Finn from Adventure Time was going through an asshole phase so I guess it goes both ways.

Hmm...all of this is making me reflect on how I was in high school. All I can remember was that I was very uncomfortable throughout the entire ordeal, like I didn't know what was going on.

Ladies, how about you on your high school love life?

Anyway, when I was a teen, I was a late bloomer. I wasn't particularly interested in the guys around me in high school...sort of. I wasn't sure if I did or not. I'd get drawn to a guy, pull the "Donnie flow chart method" minus the actual flow chart, and think of ways to hang out with said guy to get to know him better (pretty innocent, just like Donnie's chart having things regarding to helping with homework and serving healthy snacks). After a while, it turned out to be more like I had either admiration or an adoration for said guy the whole time as opposed to a romantic liking towards him as strange as that may sound. Maybe it was something about his personality that drew me to him. Ironically, I'm still like that even now.

[IndigoErth]

Ladies, how about you on your high school love life?
Me? At that age I was unfortunately just the shy wallflower admiring from afar.

First day of 9th grade in my science class I was assigned a seat at the same table (2 per) for the first half of the year right next to my soon to be freshman year crush. Don't think he ever had a clue.

Forget about coming on too strong, I wasn't brave enough to make any move at all. lol Think he had a girlfriend anyhow, but he was at least enjoyable to sit next to.

And don't get me started on the senior when I was a sophomore... Graphics Arts shop/major, 10th and 12th had that one together. Doubt he ever had a clue either.

[Werecat]

Really love the episode despite the funny concept of it. I really felt sympathy for Big Foot 'cause, ya know, she is alone and longed for companionship. I liked how Donatello linked himself with bigfoot and how uncomfortable it is to have someone chase you around like some love struck puppy, gotta have some class instead. I loved the Raph tidbits. I disliked Douchey Leo who hurt poor bigfoot's feeling. and I really enjoyed the songs on the episode, it really gave a Fable vibe.

Edit: The episode was also hilarious. I enjoyed watching it overall.

anyone getting the impression that Leo's injuries may be more psychological then physical at this point.

[Vicky82]

It's a bit strange IGN hasn't reviewed the episode yet, maybe Max hasn't seen it yet because he probably was at NYCC.

[evan2000]

I'd say he still have physical injuries to deal with. He still needs his walking stick. Maybe he has healed a little in the previous episode but fighting with the Creep probably caused him even more injuries or even worsen his existing ones that has barely recovered.

[darthwahl56]

The first episode of season 3 seemed to pack a bit a bit too much in one show. This episode dealt with the Donnie and April situation in a good way and it didn't feel over stuffed with leo healing and rescuing, dealing with "the creep," Raph's weird tranformation, and the living on the farm. The last episode needed a two part story so that we could see Leo heal (as much as he could) and the adjusting to the new environment and the promise of a new and mysterious creature in one, then see Leo rescue the others in the second and the twist would have been that Raph's bandanna was taken (not him turning into the creatures pet dog) and he jumps in to help finish off "the creep." The newest episode needed to happen and didn't throw so much at the audience.

Donnie needed to see the other side of things, how April felt. Even if it confused him at the end when April kissed him, he still needed the lesson the Bigfoot threw at him. A friendly peck on the cheek probably was just meant as an "it's all good" friend gesture, Donnie, of course, takes it his way.

Seemed like the episode should have been called "Big foot and the Ninja Turtles," kind of like "Harry and the Hendersons,"the 80's movie with John Lithgow. There was even a bit of music that sounded like the music at the end of that movie when Bigfoot carries "the Finger" off.

I liked that Raph stood his ground against the bigfoot and his initiating a training session earlier. He seemed to be in a better Raph mode, though I would still like more episodes for him, his bros get more.

Also, poor Ice Cream Kitty.

[JTH]

It's a bit strange IGN hasn't reviewed the episode yet, maybe Max hasn't seen it yet because he probably was at NYCC.

No, he's reviewed it. It's been up since 2 hours after the episode aired. No one here worried about it I guess.

He gave it a 7/10

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/10/11/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-a-foot-too-big-review

I also have confirmed my own theory about this Donnie/April arc. I said when the boards were released that this had a very "Phantom of the Opera" feel to it with the music box bit, having seen the episode now, there's no doubt in my mind it is.


Here's the comment I posted on the IGN review of the episode:

This love triangle is just like Phantom of the Opera. Everything down to the music box.

April/Donnie is just like Christine/Phantom. It's the love story that you know is never meant to be because The Phantom (Donnie) is just an outcast and knows he can never be loved by the girl he desires to be with despite all efforts to try, but in the end Christine (April) chooses The Phantom over the other guy in the story (His name alludes me, but meant to be Casey) Because the Phantom accepted Christine for who she was and Christine looked beyond "the mask" and saw someone she really cared for despite who he was and what he looked like.

Anyone get this sense?

I kinda hope next week's or one of the others has a bit of a wink to the Evil Dead Movies.

I thought the part when April was tripped and pulled back into the woods was kind of an Evil dead wink. Like when the girl was trying to come up from the cellar, almost made it, was tripped and pulled back down.

The scenes looked almost identical.

Unless that was suppose to be a wink to something else?

You're forgetting that that episode was called "Within The Woods (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Within_the_Woods)". ;)

And, c'mon, watch the episode. It had some legit funny parts in it.

[MrTMNT2012]

I would skip these kinds of episodes too. Or at least just watch the Turtle interactions cause I did love the scene with Leo and Raph playing console games! (The butt-shaking part was too much though...)

[Shark_Blade]

One of the funniest fillers I've seen from this show. The scene with Bigfoot and ICK had me laughing so much. :lol:
Totally!

And the animation is truly beautiful, so much improvement. Wow. I really like the forest environment, so much greenery. Such a nice change from the damp dark city setting.

I love Raph cleaning the toilet lmao. When he wears the mask, his breathing sound is totally Darth Vader's! Go and have a listen to it again. Ciro you sneaky bastard! :P Love the easter egg.

And when Raph beaten Leo, he did a victory wiggle butt dance lol.:lol: That cracked me up.

April making over Big Foot, DAAAW so adorable. April's facial expression of creativity and concentration when she's cutting the hair and putting on lipstick was really great... just superb animation all around, like watching a movie.

When the pace changes to sadness of rejection, they really didn't hold back. After Donnie ran away from her, Leo was insulting her and was laughing with Casey (wtf Leo I expected more class from you :x), making her cry and ran way into the forest. Such pain and despair...my heart.

The fight with The Finger.. that dude sure can take a lot of beating with Donnie's bo staff.. :teek: And did he just cracked Mikey's nuts with his knee? :lol: Turtle balls go bye-bye.

I just don't think he cared for the villain much, or the extra juvenile humor. But he admitted, this episode was definitely geared more towards kids. I can agree with that, my little cousin sat down and watched this, and she was very amused by the whole thing, starting with the spider playing the banjo. I don't think I've seen her laugh this hard since watcing Finding Nemo. After you rip off the layers of the show and it's intentions, I just have to accept that this is still meant for kids, and it's not an HBO or FX show. (Even though a TMNT series on HBO would absolutely rock, IMO)

I hate to say it, but the Nick's version of Leo is just a tad, just a little bit, vain! I think I saw a hint of it during Shellacne, when Mikey asked if he ever got a zit, and he was like "Oh no, never!":D And it's good, it gives Leo character.

Yep, now that chapter is been laid to rest, I wonder what the next one will be that starts fueds, other than the "April kissed him on the lips, no, she kissed him on the cheek!" The meltdowns are really funny! Due to the reaction this whole Capritello thing is causing, don't expect them to stop it anytime soon just because a few technodromers are hating it. It's doing exactly what they want it to do, sparking debate, conversation and attention.

I never noticed the PPG backgrounds. Cool.

[Klunk1234]

Very weird episode and kind of ridiculous. It's a filler episode. The only parts that I like were when Donnie gave April the music box, although she didn't received that well and when she tries to console him.

[Jephael]

I wish they'd have just called him Bonesteel, though. Might as well have been him, after all.

I thought they were trying to avoid any Next Mutation references.

[Donny's computer84]

This episode was a bit strange, did have some humor though.:)

[brosuke_hanamura]

Well that was......interesting, not my favorite nor did I exactly like it but honestly that was pretty darn entertaining, though I do not think the finger should have lasted that long in a fight. The Casey, Leo scene was a nice surprise and I hope we see more of that and poor ICK

[CyberCubed]

Did this episode remind anyone else of Animanics or Looney Tunes? Its basically the closest comparison I could think of.

The hunter was like Elmer Fudd and the beast was like any type of Warner Brothers crazy animal character.

The only thing Fudd and The Finger have in common are that they are both hunters. Nothing else.

[Coola Yagami]

The finger was funny. I loved how he even did the whole 'immortal Hulk Hogan' thing. The episode was full of good scenes. The look Don did when raph pointed out how don acted around April and he was at a loss for words. As for Leo I don't really hold against him. People do act like that. Just cause he's a good guy in the show doesn't mean he has to be a goody two shoes 24/7. It makes the show feel more real and makes Leo feel more like a real character.

The final scene was so well acted. You hear the pain in Donnie's voice as he's about to give up the love of his life. April had this shocked look of sadness on get face. It didn't look like she was just worried about his feelings. It looked more like 'omg I'm losing him' or 'he's breaking up with me?' Idk. The face she made was priceless.

[FlawedCoil82]

I am fearful for this series. I am ready to bank that nothing they can do can top 'The Gauntlet'. Those precious 2 or so minutes of Shredder vs. turtles fighting with the intense theme music was better than anything else I have seen in any other episode thus far. At this pace, there is no possible way this series can top the 2003 series for me because while the 2003 series had bad episodes scattered here or there, this series does many in a row. And when this series has bad episodes, I am talking "Turtle Titan/Justice Force/Garbageman/Nano" level of "bad" for each of it's crap episodes......one after another. Not just "meh" type episodes like 2003 had (not counting FF and beyond), but "God I feel utterly ashamed of myself for watching this" types of episodes. :teek: I will never have a need to watch this one again.

At this pace, there is no possible way this series can top the 2003 series for me because while the 2003 series had bad episodes scattered here or there, this episode does many in a row. And when this series has bad episodes, I am talking "Turtle Titan/Justice Force/Garbageman/Nano" level of "bad" for each of it's crap episodes......one after another. Not just "meh" type episodes like 2003 had (not counting FF and beyond), but "God I feel utterly ashamed of myself for watching this" types of episodes. :teek: I will never have a need to watch this one again.

did u even watch the season 2 finale?

Try season 2s finale of Leo fighting the foot, henchman and shredder alone

did u even watch the season 2 finale?

Yes I did. Once again, it consisted of Splinter vs. Shredder instead of the turtles. And Shredder didn't fight Leo, he just slashed him once. While Splinter vs. Shredder was the only saving grace about the first season finale, I had really hoped for a big battle of Shredder versus the turtles for the 2nd season finale and with a lot less Kraang. I am so over those dudes. I also have little interest in seeing the turtles fight anything other than serious threats like Shredder, Tigerclaw, Slash or the Foot, so if it's going to be them versus Bigfoots, Swamp monsters, mutated chickens/cows/birds/trees/tractors/piles of manure, etc. for the first half of the season then it will bore me to tears very quickly. I am hoping at some point they will be discovered by the Foot on the farm so a big fight can go down there.

Also, I really dislike Seth Green doing Leo's voice. By far my least favorite voice I have heard Leonardo have in any television or movie incarnation of him.

Well, to be fair, despite the Turtles always being set at a specific age range in these shows the 2012 group play out as if they are certainly younger than the 2003 group. This Leo, let alone with help from his siblings, is hardly any match for Shredder right now. He did handle Tigerclaw and the rest quite well though.

What episodes did you find horrible?

What episodes did you find horrible?

Well, compared to episodes of 2003, A Foot Too Big might be just way too juvenile for many people. Some of it, like the Bigfoot and The Finger embracing, was very cringe worthy. I am also not too thrilled with what I am seeing with Mondo Gecko, the Frogs, nightmare beavers and Demon Donnie. Just, way too corny for me. The Turtles have gone from season one, a very well done season that didn't insult the viewer, season 2 was definitely lower in quality but had really good episodes like Slash and Destroy, Wrath of Tiger Claw and Rats and Men, but the beginning of this season, plus some of the promos, made the series go from damn good, to a damn joke.

That was really my one overbearing complaint about how the turtles fought Shredder in the 2003 series early on as well. Shredder would punch them once and they'd go down. That is such an extremely cheatful and frustrating way for animators to draw their fights, even if the turtles have never fought him before, with as many other skilled villains they take down there is simply no way that they couldn't at least land a hit on the guy. A good fight is only when both parties are able to hurt each other and land hits. I understand the turtles are not experienced enough to defeat Shredder yet, but the way Nick is teasing us with tiny bits here and there, I fear if Nick doesnt deliver that massive good fight I am hoping for in the grand finale (whenever the turtles DO finally fight Shredder....without the Kraang being involved), it is going to be a huge disappointment.

Leonardo losing to Shredder would have been even more dramatic if he was still able to put up some kind of fight against him. You knew even before Shredder slashed him, that Leo was already defeated and that took away any sense of suspense.

I think that the theme for this Northampton is "weird". Trust me, the next episode is 100% serious though.

Exactly! I would need to see a list of the Season 2 episodes again because so many of them were forgettable and I don't remember their titles. While there were episodes I didnt like in Season 1 (like 'Cockroach Terminator' or 'Parasitica'), I know none of the episodes in that first season made me feel embarassed to be watching the show. Many in Season 2 had me cringing and groaning in disgust. The ones that stick out in my head at the moment were the fungus episode, the D&D episode, the one with Pizzaface and both Season 3 episodes. I know there are more, but I have tried my hardest to wipe them from my memory.

I liked Fungus and Mazes and Mutants. Pizzaface sucked though. Of course that's the Nick exec's favorite episode.

Oh, I hate Pizzaface. That has to be one of the worst things I have ever seen, on TV period! And to think my favorite comic book characters are apart of it. As bad as Fast Forward was, it was never cringe worthy, I just didn't care for the futuristic setting and the new animation.

Eh, all of them episodes in particular, come across to me as if the writing team, when brainstorming this stuff, was more than likely half baked! And, I'm not kidding!
