Official Ep Discussion: S3 Finale: "Annihilation: Earth"

[Donny's computer84]

:teek: Really good action in this one, it reminds me of the 4kids version. I can't get over how they killed off Splinter. Poor turtles however, they meet the Fugitoid voiced by the tenth doctor.

Then explain why you are being sucked into the void in this image...hmmm

What I get from this, is that the reptilians created apes. How's that for a political statement?

Mammals actually did evolve from reptiles, around the same time as dinosaurs were alive.

Just watched this last night. Woooooow. I'm almost glad that I haven't been keeping up with news on this show, because nothing was spoiled for me. Did not expect them to go that far.

Best season finale ever. :)

Except for Casey "this is awesome!" comment, right? :shifty:

Is the whole Casey quote going to be the new controversial meme for this forum?

[srmff]

Sure it was a stupid comment but it was one line and it's being blown totally out of proportion.

[ssjup81]

Do you think that there'll be a scene of Mikey mourning the loss of ICK...because frankly, I'm missing her already. ^^

Not just Ice Cream Kitty, but Leatherhead, Mondo Gecko....maybe Dr. Cluckingsworth (simply because he named her)

[The Happy One]

Agreed. It's not awful and, quite frankly, it's old news. He said it. We didn't like it. It was a mistake.
But, hey, season 4 will be totally epic! And maybe even a chance for Casey to mature more, ya know?:lol:

But, ya know, people have their own opinions and what they feel are big deals. I can respect that.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

It was a big deal because it undercut the tragedy of the entire ending. It felt jarring and inappropriate at the least, and just plain insensitive at the worst.

I'm hoping season four addresses this at some point, or at least forces him to deal with what happened in some way. Also- that shot of LH and Rockewll in the vortex? That's funny- I'm sorry I didn't catch that, LOL!! Sistine ceiling ref for the win!

[OrangeNinja1987]

Yeah, the reaction over Casey's "This is AWESOME!" got kind of out of hand. In the grand scheme of the show it won't be remembered, but just where it was placed and the drama of what had just happened made it very badly placed. It kind of reminds me of the Legend of Korra season 3 finale (coincidence? I think so) where Korra nearly died and Bolin was still joking around like it didn't matter.

Yeah...I see you're point. I suppose I'm trying really hard to hang on to this version of Casey. He's cool and funny and a bit charming at times...but this...kinda put him back about a hundred steps in the whole maturity thing. I just hope, like you said, it gets resolved. :tgrin:

[Kingoji]

Just wanted to note, sorry if it came up before, but I rewatched the Spirit Quest episode today, and before they begin when meditating in the trees, Mike looks up at the sky as it beings to spiral in on itself and scares him into wakefulness. That was some subtle foreshadowing.

[myconius]

i absolutely loved Season 3!!!!

from the introduction to Seth Green as Leonardo, all the Horror episodes, Vision Quest, Bebop & Rocksteady, The Deadly Venom, Tales of The Yokai, and Attack of the Mega Shredder, i just can't get enough of this Season!

the Finale was a real sucker punch though!

i'm very excited to see where Season 4 goes? but i'm really bummed about Splinter and everyone! :tsad:

[myconius]

Splinter should stay dead, even if they time travel everything else back to normal.

i have to strongly disagree on that one.
and on a kids show ....... not gonna happen.

[myconius]

A bit off-topic. But wasn't the Crognard finale foreshadowing something? Crognard/Splinter dying, and then Mikey/Renet(?) 'rewinding' the tape so Crognard/Splinter wins.

In other words, the season finale ended badly (with the earth being destroyed, and Splinter dying), but eventually they go back in time so they'd win. I sure hope so.... I'm still shaking from this episode.

i really think you are onto something there!!!! :tgrin:

can't believe i didn't catch that before, but it totally makes sense! :D

I loved this season too. The horror references were awesome! Loved that they had Robert Englund as a special voice guest.

I am very excited for Season 4. Space turtles! lol

yeah that Robert Englund episode was incredible!!!!
'in dreams' was one of my most watched episodes right next to 'within the woods'! :tgrin:

the preview they showed of the turtles putting on space suits looks great!
as soon as i hear Leo speaking like Captain Ryan from Space Heroes i LOST it!!!! :lol:

[TheMuz]

Your channel is highly disturbing.

[TheMuz]

Your channel is highly disturbing.

Oh gosh! I am very sorry about. Do you have any suggestions for us to improve our videos? All feedback is greatly appreciated!

[Powder]

If it were just a dude talkin' turtles it'd be watchable, but it's the whole stuffed turtle toy with a squeaky accented voice thing that I can't sit through.

[victory_angel]

I think your videos are very good. You are doing your own thing with them and your getting your thoughts out there. What matters in the long run is how you personally view the episode not how you go about it.

from the first episode of season 4 it looks like you were right about the 'rewind'.
but it was actually Fugitoid instead of Renet, though you were very very close! :)

[LeoRaph]

Hey, any parents here who watched this episode with their kids around 5-6 years old?

I'm worried how my almost 6 year old daughter is going to react to Splinter. We used to watch it on the net together but have been watching it on TV of late as Oz finally has the 2nd half of Season 3 and this week is the final 2 episodes. Unfortunately, I saw a spoiler in one of the titles here as it's been over a month since the ending of Season 3 aired so I know what happens. I haven't watched this episode yet but I'm thinking of watching it without her to soften the blow and prepare her for it. I have though gone ahead and watched season 4 Episode 1 so I know what's coming and can reassure her in that way. I think the whole world ending, losing everyone and being 'rescued' at the last minute by the Fugitoid is obvious to us adults that this is more a 'nightmare scenario' and things will change otherwise why be 'rescued'? But it's still very hard to watch for a young kid.

I know it's just a cartoon but she has been watching this series since day 1, so that's a very long attachment to a character, particularly a father character she adores. She was quite upset at Tadashi dying in Big Hero 6, a character who she only knew for 15mins, same deal with Mufasa, what's 3 years of knowing a character going to do? Part of me thinks she should watch it as death is a part of life but part of me also wants to not see her so upset. Hell, just looking at Vicky's sig of the Turtles cradling a clearly dead Splinter I well up a little being a 35 year old grown ass man. What's a 6 year old going to react like?

I know when I saw Optimus Prime die in the Transformers Movie back when I was 6 I was absolutely devastated and I kept watching hoping he would come back and he never did until very late in the Rodimus times where I had already given up hope. I also didn't come from a good place where my sister and I barely saw our Dad due to the old custody system and were trapped with our cruel mother and her even crueller family. When we did see him we were able to be happy at least so it might have been more upsetting for me as well in those terms. Fortunately though my daughter is loved, protected, has a consistently happy good life and is a confident kid but still Splinter's death is almost like someone actually dying and I know what it's like to lose your Dad as well where I lost him to cancer 8 years ago. Wow, I think I might actually get upset. Maybe I do need to watch this by myself.

I think the only consolidation I can give her is if she does watch it is to watch S4E1 straight away on the net and most importantly reassure here that I am here for her.

Anyway, sorry for the ‘mini bio’ but thought I’d at least let you know where I’m coming from. Appreciate your thoughts.

Tell her that Splinter will eventually come back to life, and he's not gone forever. Which of course is true when we get there...
