As requested I am making a new thread as I watch the episode and comment on it.
- David Wise wrote this episode like he did Bye, Bye Fly. Baxter appears as a mutant fly for the fourth of six times.
-The title always seemed weird to me like The Shredder is Splintered. This is the case of the writing team's love of 50s'/60s' sci-fi B films.
-This is the first episode produced for CBS if I am not mistaken, but Krang refers to a volcanic eruption which would have likely referred to A Dimension X Story fourteen episodes later. Anyone able to clarify that? Continuity issue.
-Baxter refers to them being in a dimensional limbo, but it does look a lot like Dimension X. It is funny how plot conveniences pop up in this show. Just as Baxter expresses depression over being stuck in limbo Baxter and Z come across a dimensional wormhole.
-I want to know how Z gaining a laptop form after the ship fell apart. It may not be essential, but I want to know!
- Referring to others who call the sewers their home Rat King and Leatherhead is mentioned. Leatherhead did stalk the sewers that one time looking for the TMNT after getting information. LH is mentioned as many times as he appears which gives reason for adventures to have taken place beaten episodes.
-Shredder laments that they cannot function without a computer. If only he knew the future!:tlol:
-Baxter has developed a habit with sugar! I guess its an insect's drug.
- Z says "with your brains and my new body we can take over he world!". Baxter's intellect is increasingly dwiddling. Z is the brains of the operation! What is he talking about?
-I wonder if its the sugar addiction that is cuasing memory lapses with Baxter?
-The "c" of channel 6 looks like a pac man symbol. Probably a coincidence.
-People being replaced by computers, another 'if they only knew'.
-The computer technician who installed the new computer system refers to Burne as the owner of the station. There is one episode around this time where he is the station manager and the station owner has a nephew visit. Could we assume that Burne buys the station from his superior when he retires?
-Baxter in Return of The Fly grabbed April on his own. Now his shrinking intelligence can't remember her name, but a few seconds. It is funny though, "That is not even a woman" referring to Vernon.. "No, Baxter, that's not even a woman!She looks like this". Seconds later he ask Burne if he is June O'Neil.:lol:
-April tells Baxter she is busy and he responds by taking Vernon.:lol:
-Baxter and Z want the Turtles as bait for the Shredder so April is bait for the Turtles in turn.
-Energy rope gun? I don't think I have seen that weapon before or it ever is seen again. That would have worked better for Baxter The Fly boss battle in Turtles In Time instead of the slime hand out of the gun.
-I don't know if it was intended but the Turtles look like they are trapped in a cocoon when Baxter ties them up in the clock tower.
-Some great lines in under a minute's time. "Just our luck swatted by a fly!"-Raphael.- "I think I have been feeling a bit too geared up lately"-Michelangelo. "Some times I wish I had a fifth hand"-Baxter the fly. "Aw, don't fly off the handle Baxter".-Raphael. "No funny, not funny!"-Baxter the fly. "Nobody likes puns anymore"- Raphael. I love the dialogue of this show.
"Leave it to a fly to come up with a bug brained idea like making us bait"- Michelangelo.
-How does Shredder not immediately make the connection that Z is the same computer that was on the alien ship?
-When the Turtles make their escape from the clock tower they somehow land on their feet and then take off running without any reaction to physical pain? Lesser stunts have been done with repercussions!
-The destruction of property is brought up in this episode like it was in Enter: The Fly. This goes back and forth in the series and serves as a gag in this episode. Just like another issue that is is brought up in this episode, Shredder wants to be the one to kill the turtles because it is his right by ninja law. Others times he allows others to do it for him such as Night of The Rogues and Wrath of The Rat King among others while this episode plays with the idea it has to be him that kills them, which I prefer. Just not to the extent the Nicktoon Shredder does allowing himself and the planet to be destroyed just so he can be the one to say he killed Splinter.
-Mellish appears out of nowhere. Instead of just destroying it since it would ont serve any purpose but cause trouble the Turtles are peeved and Leo galdly presses the self-destruct button on Z as Baxter and Shredder tug of war over Z.
-Z is nothing more than a alien computer chip.
-The Turtles joke about Vernon's anxiety after being traumatized by Baxter The Fly. Is this the only time we see him in something other than his pink dress shirt?
- Splinter/Peter Renaday does not appear in this episode and is not even mentioned!On the rare occasion Splinter is absent it is mentioned that his is on a mediation retreat.
