Awesome, now I'm even more curious how the vision quest will play into the story.

[TigerClaw]

So January 11 2015 is the new episode. :)

[PangolinFeets]

Boo. Won't work on my phone. :( Guess I have to wait until I'm home.

Nick app might work.

2k3 turtle marathon on nick.com and a return to the city trailer? Oh thank you St. Nick. :tgrin:

[OrangeNinja1987]

That trailer was incredible! The new costumes look incredible, and the show's animation just keeps getting better and better. :D

[PangolinFeets]

Nick app might work.

App didn't have it yet, but after some fiddling I did get it to work. Yay Spirit Quest finally!!!

[ShelleyQuick]

Sorry about the link, first time I tried to post one on here. There are so many awesome things in this preview my heart was fluttering and I was squealing like a child:)

[TrickOrTreater]

Hell yeah. Bring it on.

[Mellie]

Shell yes! It looks great. I'm so pumped :D

[TigerClaw]

Cool. So the spirit quest uniforms are all white now?

[B-Man]

F*cking LOVE how S3 is panning out. Can't wait :tgrin:

Whoa. That's pretty f*ckin' awesome, actually.

I remember seeing the concept art for this in the Ultimate Visual History, and even loved it as concept art. Really looking forward to seeing these episodes, needless to say.

[Darthknuxward]

Well, this is all I have to say.

Turtle Van! Turtle Van! :thyper:

http://i.imgur.com/IMhAHSx.jpg

Looks like we'll be getting more Turtle Racer (and Dr. Cluckingsworth MD) action too!

Also glad to see EPF showing up again!

http://i.imgur.com/pHnqm8c.jpg

But wait... dat same background... are the EPF troops shooting at the Turtle Van?

[Luckyday]

Please tell that this is the turtles breaking out EPF's HQ! Please tell me it's that.http://www.narutoforums.com/images/smilies/series2/omges1.png

This nearly gets me more exicted than The Invasion trailer

[evan2000]

Speculation time! Who is Leo ambushing below?

http://i.imgur.com/RjI8pS1.jpg

Shredder? :teek:

Donnie's wearing the same goggles from the Squirrelanoids episode again. What will it be used for this time?

http://i.imgur.com/HApMTo7.jpg

What's this?

http://i.imgur.com/DCHeUFb.jpg

A surveillance bot planted by the Kraang to guard the turtles' old lair?

Seems so... there's right where the turtles are being fired at by that thing!

http://i.imgur.com/mtkMVzP.jpg

Now, will they be looking for a new lair or simply reclaim their old lair?

[BubblyShell22]

Whoa. Love those pics. Too bad I can't watch the video, but I love the pics. I'm hoping Leo's ambushing Shredder 'cause he needs a beatdown for sure. Seeing these just made my day! Can't wait for January eleventh!

[Aaronardo]

Venus De Milo is on the side of the new Turtle Van ;)

[Amaranthus]

Venus De Milo is on the side of the new Turtle Van ;)

Hmm flowing blond and set of shell bombs. Yup these turtles would have no idea nor attraction to what a real female mutant turtle would would look like.
Head canon proved. :P

Casey probably did it. XD

[victory_angel]

But wait... dat same background... are the EPF troops shooting at the Turtle Van?

Maybe the city is under government quarantine like we have speculated. Given the background, I'd say the EPF are firing at the Turtles to prevent them from entering the city. Because in the part where you see the turtle wagon bursting through the gate there are the buildings of the city. But in the part where the EPF are firing it looks like their are bushes or trees, or rocks in the background.

We only see Donnie and Raph in this shot. Perhaps they were wanting to see what was still salvagable from their old lair or at least getting some supplies from their old lair. And a security drone was placed there by the Kraang and/or the Foot incase anyone came down there.

[Luckyday]

^ Did you also notice that the EPA had kraang like weapons? Did they had them in the season 2 finale?

^ Did you also notice that the EPA had kraang like weapons? Did they had them in the season 2 finale?Maybe they have been Kraangified under those helmets? The Turtle van is coming out of their building, but the building looks like something you'd get from the Kraang. It has all of those glowey purple highlights on it.

[CyberCubed]

Putting Venus on the side of the Turtle Van. Like anyone other than old fogeys are even aware of that character.

[Donatello19]

This is gonna be epic, January 11th can't come fast enough!

I love that their new outfits are very de-saturated & pretty much white. Unexpected. Very sharp.

from the look of it, they will only use their vision quest gear on special occasions which is pretty sweet cause itll possibly hint at which eps are gonna be more intense

Tmnt assassins creed?

[IndigoErth]

Saw a commercial for it a couple times today, looks like it's hopefully planning to come roaring back to it's old self again soon. :D

[Bitsy83]

Watched it again and I noticed how in one part, Leo is sort of protecting Donnie from laser blasts. And then we see Donnie being surrounded by Kraang bots. I wonder if this means my "Target: Donnie" prediction might be coming true this season? I have this idea that Shredder learns that Donnie can make retromutagen and wants to take Donnie prisoner so he can get that from him.

So, when a first attempt is made of kidnapping Donnie, the Foot almost gets away with it and the Turtles learn of their scheme, making Leo highly protective of his brother. This could be a good character development plot for both Leo and Donnie since it'll delve on Leo's insecurities of failing as both a leader and brother by letting Shredder harm Donnie. Also, maybe Leo gets a bit TOO protective and tries to keep Donnie safe at all times and doesn't let him participate in battles, even demanding he stay safe in the sewers hidden away. Donnie, of course, finds this highly annoying since he feels he's just as capable at protecting himself and fighting the bad guys as Leo is, but due to some show of pride, he ends up getting captured and it becomes a two-three parter or whatnot.

Just a plot bunny....

Yeah, it's a combination of Target: April & The Kraang Conspiracy.

Some people have had that feeling, because storyline wise it just makes sense.

I also think it is what could cause the Dark Raph saga. I'm thinking he does it out of reluctance, like "Apprentice" saga on Teen Titans. Donnie gets captured for part of a grand plan, the others are given an ultimatum to join with The Shredder or their brother will be destroyed, but they wouldn't destroy him because Donnie is a key to helping them, Raph goes on his own and joins The Shredder to save one of the others, all while being brainwashed at the same time.

[Ninjinister]

I'm so used to seeing their new costumes in color (via the action figures) that the white just looks... bland :|

Inb4 strawman argume...oh, too late.

Please learn what words mean before using them, or at the very least, apply them in correct context. Thank you.

However the Shredder in this incarnation is short sighted and doesn't trust anyone beyond himself.

If he captures Donnie at all he's have to hold someone Donnie cares about if not his entire family as prisoner in order to even make the attempt at making the Retromutagen. And even then he knows Donnie won't just make the retromutagen, so he would want to test it on him or one of his family members first to be sure.
And naturally Donnie would hold his tongue about April's DNA being key to the Retromutagen.

The Kraang I can seen wanting Donnie to be eliminated because they already know he is familiar with their technology enough to make a weapon out of it.
And having someone who can create retromutagen is a threat to what they want. Knowing Ciro has said that Donnie is going to have his work cut out for him, I believe Donnie may come up with an idea for the Retromutagen to be released into the or released or wherever the inhabitents of New York city are gathered so the numerous people who have been mutated can be restored enmas instead of hunted down and cured.

So perhaps the Kraang wish to eliminate Donnie so he isn't a threat to the world they are trying to create.

The Shredder would wait until Donnie has the Retromutagen available, then have Tigerclaw or Raphael if Raph has gone dark by that point. or even Shredder himself will take it from him before wounding Donnie to the point the other Turtles have to resort to tending to his injuries instead of going after the retromutagen.

[Redeemer]

Is it me or are they trying to make Raph look like shredder ???? :o:o:o:o

[drgon78]

Cool preview, now how did I miss this one.

[Shark_Blade]

I'm not watching it. I want to be surprised when it airs. :D:tcool:

I am very patient.

[blindturtle02]

I can't wait to see more of the EPF. The next two episodes sound alright but Return To New York sounds epic. I expect to be blown away by episodes 7 and 8 anyway. That always happens.

[JTH]

However the Shredder in this incarnation is short sighted and doesn't trust anyone beyond himself.

That's not entirely true.

The whole reasoning for his partnership with The Kraang was because they apparently have "an agreement" that if they help The Kraang take over New York, The Kraang will return the favor and return Karai to normal.

So we have learned that he will turn to people he doesn't trust for the return of "his daughter's" humanity. So if it becomes apparent that The Kraang have no intentions to help him, Shredder may use aggressive measures to make the turtles help him if/when he becomes aware of their knowledge.

[Bitsy83]

:tcry:That's not entirely true.

I highly doubt the Kraang really care about Karai or keeping the alliance going with Shredder and the Foot. Remember what Tiger Claw said: They care little for the humans.

Ok, the little plot bunny hopped a few more times in my head and I got an extended idea:

Going back to my protective Leo idea, what if Leo tells Donnie to stay behind while they investigate the Foot attacking. Donnie isn't happy about this, but goes along with it knowing that Leo is just trying to help, so they set up the T-phones so Donnie can remain in touch in case of any technical problems. When he hears the Turtles in trouble, he disobeys Leo's orders and goes topside, only to find Tiger Claw waiting for him. Since he faced "Tiger Claw" in the Spirit Quest, he feels he can handle the real one, only to get his butt kicked. Leo realizes that the whole thing was a trap to lure Donnie out and quickly tries to track him down, only to find Tiger Claw dragging Donnie into a portal. Naturally, Leo and the others assume they're taking Donnie to Dimension X and go into the portal after him.

Actually, the portal was a ruse and Tiger Claw just took him into a portal connecting to the Foot headquarters, then destroys the portal so the Turtles are trapped within the dimensional realm like he was. So Donnie's a prisoner and the others are trying to find the right gateway home.

Ciro mentioned how the Turtles would be doing some world traveling and this could be a way of doing it. Also, I'd love to see him end up in the 80s dimension and meet O.T. Raph, trying to figure out why he sounds so much like their Donnie. Naturally, the O.T. will help their 2012 counterparts since they have an equivalent of Donnie. I can also see each of them going off separately with their 80s counterpart: The 2k12 Mikey and O.T. Mikey would be swapping pizza recipes (I still remember the peanut butter pizza O.T. Mikey made in one episode....), 2k12 will think his counterpart is crazy due to the 4th wall jokes, while at the same time O.T. Raph would be telling him to ease up and not be so serious and sulky all the time. However, I'd love to see how 2k12 Leo and O.T. Leo interact, what with new Leo still having issues with Shredder and how he let his brother get kidnapped. Wouldn't surprise me if O.T. Leo used a few "Old Samurai" quotes to help him with his problems. Eventually, the O.T. Turtles DO help get them back to their home, but only if they promise to destroy the portal linking the worlds. They don't want the Kraang to invade their world like they did theirs.

(Sorry, that went on longer than I expected)

Meanwhile, back home, Donnie has been a prisoner and tortured (i.e. beaten by Rahzarr and Fishface) to give out the formula, but remains firm. He IS the Mountain of the group, after all. While this is happening, the Kraang eventually learn that Shredder is trying to make retromutagen and decide it's time to end their alliance with Shredder.

That's all I got, but it'd be neat to see the Turtles going through dimensions without Donnie. They almost did that with Wormquake, but I think it's work better here.

[victory_angel]

Tigerclaw also warned the Shredder the Kraang would betray him. Both the Shredder and the Kraang see eachother more as means to an end rather then allies. And they would quite happily desolve the alliance once they have what they desire. As the Shredder does point out the Kraang is a dangerous ally but they have also provided the Foot with impressive technology

And I took Donnie facing off against Tiger Claw as sign that Donnie has become a second in command of the Turtles since Tiger Claw is the second in command of Foot Clan and in a way that makes sense

Leo faces Shredder in his Vision quest
Donnie faces Tiger Claw
Mikey faces Rahzar
Raph faces Fishface

My feeling is that when this new mutant or what ever the eye of the chimera is supposed to be is that perhaps Donnie is captured by this creature first by knocking Leo out of harms way. Raph, Mikey, and Casey are all captured when they try help Donnie. Leo starts to panic about what's happening. Donnie and/or Raph tells April to get Leo out of there.

[pennydreadful]

Is it me or are they trying to make Raph look like shredder ???? :o:o:o:o

Maybe it's some foreshadowing for the Dark Raph arc?

[Amaranthus]

EYE of the Chimera?
Muckman and Joe EYEball?

[Mellie]

According to their concept art, Muckman and Joe Eyeball will be in episode 15

[TurtleTitan97]

Having gotten the TMNT: Ultimate Visual History for Christmas, I'm more excited for this particular episode than ever. The costumes look even better than they did in the concept art! :D

[snake]

I love that the spirit quest uniforms are white and not multicolor. These eps are going to be good.

[blindturtle02]

I can't wait for these two. They were some of the first action figures I got when I was a kid. Well you couldn't move Eyeball
at all but I still considered him a figure.

[Meliwen]

Oh gosh, I thought Raph's hood was going to be red and I was starting to get a Little Red Riding Hood vibe from him. :lol: I'm glad they're white, they look awesome.

[TMNTFOREVA]

Just saw it!!!!!!!! Looks like Raph has a Wolverine thing going on though. :D

[aliena]

Wow, that looks amazing! I hope it's everything it appears to be.

I can't believe Venus is on the side of the van, that is surely a nod to Venus, but is it actually a turtle female? From what I can see, she's green and wearing a bathing suit, but is there a shell?

The vision quest outfits are so cool looking, man, I just hope they live up to the hype.

If Leo is attacking Shredder I want him to kick his butt and not fight him only to get beaten again and have to run off. That would suck.

No sign of April, could she actually be kidnapped or maybe left behind?

That's a human female on the side of the van dressed up in green.

[IndigoErth]

Hadn't even paid attention to the paint job. Can't get YouTube to stop unblurred in the right spot, but does seem at least to have her name. :lol:

Edit: Finally stopped in a better/clearer spot. Not seeing a shell, but at least a green lady. haha Maybe it's a big sign/sticker label from something they slapped on the side. :)

[JH24]

Great trailer. Not too fond of their "outfits" (although they do look nice, has an "Assassin's Creed" vibe), but I guess that's part of their vision quest. I was happy though they looked their normal selves again when back in New York.

Looking forward to it. This series needs more of Shredder and his mutants/followers again. I wonder how they survived in the middle of a Kraang infested city.

Hopefully there will be some intense fights like the one in "Wrath of Tigerclaw."

Ah, true, why didn't I place that. A 'bomber'. I was thinking more like 50s gas station logos or something. lol

They should have included "The Green Lady" written fancily across there. :twink:

[Mini-Turtle]

Looking forward to it. This series needs more of Shredder and his mutants/followers again. I wonder how they survived in the middle of a Kraang infested city"
Shredder made an alliance with Kraang Prime, remember?

[Metalwolf]

Shredder made an alliance with Kraang Prime, remember?Until Kraang Prime decides to betray him. :lol:

[Powder]

What if they pooled their resources & created Kraang foot? Ninjas with alien tummies. That'd be neat.

[BubblyShell22]

Saw the preview while watching "A Foot Too Big" on Sunday. Looks like it'll be awesome.

Kraang Foot? Now that WOULD be neat.

[DevilSpooky]

Is that image on the van taken from (or inspired by) a real thing? Clever way to pay tribute to Venus without adding her (phew).

It's based on the Pin-ups used on military vehicles from WWII and was first used on this (http://turtlepedia.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_Tank_Feature_Tent_(2012_toy))

[Davetello]

Return to New York looks immense - can't wait.

Ah, ty, explains why that pic looked like it was of something real. Cool that they included it in the show.

[JH24]

Shredder made an alliance with Kraang Prime, remember?

I remember. But with the city in the hands of the Kraang, I wonder what reason they have to continue that alliance. Unless Shredder still has something to offer.

It's strange in a way that Shredder now lives in a fully mutated and occupied city.

[BubblyShell22]

Shredder wants Kraang Prime to restore Karai back, so that's why he's still in an alliance with the Kraang.

[blindturtle02]

Shredder wants Kraang Prime to restore Karai back, so that's why he's still in an alliance with the Kraang.

I can't wait to see that alliance shattered. I was recently re-watching Invasion and I loved when Tiger Claw was like,"You know they're going to betray us eventually, master." I'd like to see how Shredder comes out on top because it's a sure bet he's gonna. I suppose he'll just let the turtles do his work for him, but I'd love to see him trashing some Kraang before their storyline is wrapped up.

[BubblyShell22]

I'm pretty sure he will trash some Kraang. It's inevitable given his temper. But I think right now he's going to want to get rid of the Turtles once they return. Still can't wait for the Leo vs. Shredder fight.

[The Stryker]

Well. I hope the upcoming stuff is good.

I have really really disliked season 3 so far. To the point where I just get sorta bummed when I think of the show.

I'm sure the deal they worked out included Shredder and all his underlings will remain unharmed during the Kraang Occupation.

I suppose he'll just let the turtles do his work for him, but I'd love to see him trashing some Kraang before their storyline is wrapped up.

And it probably won't even be for altruistic reasons, like when villains sometimes, at the last minute, have a spark of goodness and humanity to defeat the MAIN villain, since Shredder made it quite clear he's perfectly okay with the world burning.

He'll probably take Prime out for completely selfish reasons, and I'm a-okay with that.

Well. I hope the upcoming stuff is good.

I have really really disliked season 3 so far. To the point where I just get sorta bummed when I think of the show.

Oh it is so great to be on the "love what we're being given while a select few complain about it" side for once.

More horror episodes!

Don't give them any ideas!!

[Amaranthus]

Don't give them any ideas!!

Has anyone noticed that new enemies usually only are hard to defeat in their debut episode? Foot robots used to be impossible to defeat, and now they get destroyed so easily.

[Metalwolf]

Has anyone noticed that new enemies usually only are hard to defeat in their debut episode? Foot robots used to be impossible to defeat, and now they get destroyed so easily.Yeah, and the same thing ended up happening to the guy in your avatar(s). He started out awesome, and then the next time he showed up it was in Wormquake, and he was already severely nerfed. Tigerclaw is the only one that doesn't seem overly nerfed, but that might be because he's still kept as second in command.

[neatoman]

Has anyone noticed that new enemies usually only are hard to defeat in their debut episode? Foot robots used to be impossible to defeat, and now they get destroyed so easily.

Yeah they should probably have handled it better. I guess when they introduce a new enemy they feel a need to make it seem like a real threat right away, but without really thinking about the fact that the turtles can't have recurring near-invincible enemies.

[BubblyShell22]

Yes, very true. I just can't wait to see what else they throw at us.

[blindturtle02]

Tigerclaw is the only one that doesn't seem overly nerfed, but that might be because he's still kept as second in command.

Might also be because Ciro seems like he's a cat person. I do remember him saying in some interview or another that he and Auman like big cats. I seriously can't argue with that. I take orders from my cats all the time, so I guess I'm also sort of a minion. Although I'd like to see Rahzar kick major butt. Loved him in Lonely Mutation, Kabuto, Vengeance is Mine, and Invasion. I think he's supposed to be in Vision Quest, so can't wait to see him. TC too.

[Aaronardo]

That seems to happen a lot in this show, but for a lot of enemies, it's because the Turtles discover their weakness in their debut episodes. The Footbots are easily defeated because (if you look super closely) you can see the Turtles are basically jumping around and doing things they've never done in the series before, because that's their weakness: be unpredictable. Of course, sometimes this doesn't make any sense. Like Rahzar for example, who doesn't seem to have a weakness, yet he's still easily beaten for some reason.

[newhire13]

It's because the turtles become better fighters as the show goes on. They learn and adapt. For example there's no way Season 1 Leo would have survived what Season 2 Leo went through. Season 3 Leo is gonna be an even better fighter.

[The Stryker]

Oh it is so great to be on the "love what we're being given while a select few complain about it" side for once.

Man. Gonna keep going with that? Alright Whatever.


I am interested in seeing Bebop and Rocksteady and how they're portrayed. My only real hope since the show seems to be returning to story mode and not filler stuff is that the Donatello/April stuff is downplayed a bit more.

I'm not one of those 'Ew gross' people but in the bigfoot episode and the tail end of season 2 I kinda found myself bored to the point of annoyance with it. It's spinning it's wheels and it feels like the writing team is terrified to make a move in any direction. So yeah. I'm interested but not really 'excited' since the beginning of the season really took me out of it.

I mean the Vision Quest stuff SOUNDS cool but I can't shake feeling like it'll be a one episode thing and the characters won't really evolve in any meaningful way from it. I thought the whole Dimension X thing with Mikey was going to be an interesting turn for the character but it snapped back to default almost immediately. I don't hate it but it's alittle like...eh I don't know.

[CyberCubed]

I think the main problem with the show is its so dependent on mutants and the Kraang that the writers probably don't know what to do without them.

Rather bizarre, as the 4kids series came up with so many storylines outside of the Mirage adaptions that didn't include mutant of the week.

[BubblyShell22]

I think the vision quest episode will give them development as that's where they find themselves and figure out it's time to return to the city to take it back, so I can't wait for that.

[Metalwolf]

I think he's supposed to be in Vision Quest, so can't wait to see him. TC too.I was wondering why Tigerclaw was getting a nerf-shield, now I know why :lol:

I liked him Lonely Mutation, although it seemed like he got easily tricked too much in Kabuto and Vengence.

That seems to happen a lot in this show, but for a lot of enemies, it's because the Turtles discover their weakness in their debut episodes. The Footbots are easily defeated because (if you look super closely) you can see the Turtles are basically jumping around and doing things they've never done in the series before, because that's their weakness: be unpredictable. Of course, sometimes this doesn't make any sense. Like Rahzar for example, who doesn't seem to have a weakness, yet he's still easily beaten for some reason. His actual weakness is that he relies too much on 'acting like a dog' over his ninja skills and his intelligence. He got easily tricked in Vengeance, and got tricked by Anton in Kabuto. If he had just stood up instead of running around on all fours like a fool, he would have seen Mikey doing his tricks (he's tall enough.) If he wasn't trying to run on all fours he would have not have gone over the side of the roof and headlong into the trashcan. He has arms and legs, very useful if you're a ninja, but he tries to go on all fours and use his teeth thus putting his head right at the level of the Turtles' legs and weapons and making his neck, head, and eyes vulnerable to attack. Tigerclaw doesn't even do that. He doesn't go around tring to 'act' like a tiger, he acts like a hunter. He uses his senses as a tool, but not at the expense of his other abilities (since senses can be tricked.) Rahzar keeps doing that, at the expense of his abilites and ninja skills. He tries to act as an animal against foes that will act and think like people, and will employ all the known tricks of them, including hiding their scent if need be and using aversive things like the dog whistle (against Tigerclaw.) This massive flaw is what might end up being his downfall, and is what makes him weak.

[Rat_King]

I just found this on the Toys R Us website!

I didn't see the preview for the new season yet so I was excited to see the toy and even more excited for the glimpse in the trailer! I also shared this over in the toys section. :-)

I am in agreement with you about everything you stated. I also fear the thought that the Vision Quest stuff will be a one episode throwaway. I really, really hope they learn from it and use it when they return to NY.

In the beginning I was on board with Donnie and April, but now not so much. If they are not going to do anything with that idea, then they should drop it all together. It's so tired and going nowhere.

I also was so excited with how much Mikey grew in Dimension X, but it ended way too soon. He maintained his new found independence through the finale(when he fought the Kraang, took care of Donnie and April after Leo left and when he calmed Raph etc.)It was gone by the first episode of season three. Pity, I liked the new Mikey. I could see that Mikey actually liking Renet. Not the way he is portrayed currently though.

Am I the only one that isn't waiting for Mikey to become Creepy Donnie 2.0?

[Luckyday]

We can only hope it's one episode if that's the case.http://i.imgur.com/hbNJ6C0.png

For the writers' sake, I hope the chemistry that Ashley Johnson and Greg Cipes have when playing off each other will be enough to make it genuine or at least work to their advantage.

[THGhost]

Well it's about freakin' time they dropped the horror-themed episodes!

[TrickOrTreater]

Well it's about freakin' time they dropped the horror-themed episodes!

Did you think it was going to last for the rest of the series?

[ssjup81]

Did you think it was going to last for the rest of the series?Yeah. I can't believe anyone would think they would have. If these eps had been aired at the time that they probably were supposed to have, the "horror" theme would've ended in October with Halloween, which was perfect for the season. There have been six eps, four of them being horror-themed. Yup, if they hadn't have taken a break, these eps definitely would've been done with in October...not that I'm fully complaining. I still love the Dream Beaver ep. ^^;

Am I the only one that isn't waiting for Mikey to become Creepy Donnie 2.0?I don['t think this'll happen at all given that Mikey isn't Donnie or Leo.

We saw how Leo dealt with his crush on Karai. He was more subtle about it and not as obvious, even though the others knew about it. He also didn't let it fully cloud his judgement, like early Donnie did regarding April. Also, Leo went out of character (kind of) when embarrassed in front of Karai by Mikey. He lost his cool.

Donnie was going out of his way to impress April and learn about her in hopes of bettering his chances. He's coming across as the awkward teen trying to get with the girl. He also overthinks and overplans.

Mikey is much different from Leo and Donnie. To be honest, I could picture Mikey being the most natural if he had a crush on someone. I just couldn't see him changing or going out of his way to impress a girl.

In other words, Mikey strikes me as being the most comfortable in his own skin...er...shell compared to the other three.

[THGhost]

Did you think it was going to last for the rest of the series?

Did I say that? :roll:

It might as well have done. :P

The common theory is that the eps were held back because of the 2014 movie being released. I did love the Dream Beaver one too though.

[JTH]

Someone captured it on Youtube.

xxpoER4Rcdg

I heard something unusual in the clip,not sure if anyone brought it up or not; in the shot where Leo is attacking Shredder, you hear a scream of one of the turtles during it, but it's definitely not Leo's voice so it isn't from that scene. I'm not sure who it is though.

It's either Raph or Donnie's voice, but who's is it?

[Powder]

At about 27 seconds? Sounds to me like Mikey.

[Cure]

I think you guys just aren't quite accustomed to Seth Green's voice just yet. But I could be wrong.

[THGhost]

At about 27 seconds? Sounds to me like Mikey.

Ditto. I'd know that yell anywhere.

[Vicky82]

It doesn't sound like Mikey's yell to me, it sounds like Donnie's yell but I could be wrong.

Absolutely sounds like Donnie to me.

[THGhost]

Don't all turtles sound the same when they scream anyway? :lol:

[pennydreadful]

And if a turtle screams in a forest, and there are no fans around to analyze it... is it really Mikey? :tlol:

About Splinter's narration in the middle of the clip "We choose what holds us back, and what moves us forward"

When would that line be delivered? In a dream? During the Vision Quest? Or after he reconciles with the Turtles?

Or it was recorded purely for the trailer. Who knows? http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/images/smilies/shrug.gif

[BubblyShell22]

You know, it was mentioned that the Turtles would make contact with Splinter. Maybe Leo's meditating and contacts him and tells him what's been going on and Splinter gives him that advice because Leo's worried about not healing since we know he's still dealing with that in the newest episode. But that's just my best guess.
