-Baxter's final appearance in the series is written by David Wise. The previous episode had a writer with only one other credit in the series. Baxter once again returns from another dimension, but Z is with him rebuilt. Wise wrote three of the six episodes with Baxter as a mutant fly and the half that contained Z in some form.
-Genetic Essences Is DNA coding?
- Vernon ask if it could be used for diabolical purposes. Then he clearly states the lack of security and the address of the laboratory going down to the specifics! He wants it stolen! Or is he just that absent minded?
-Shredder does indicate that he sent Baxter off to an unknown dimension opposed to Donatello sending Baxter off. So it does lend credibility that Landlord of the Flies was forgotten.Between this and the out of character action of the TMNT later on in the episode it seems surprising that it is David Wise since I thought he had a good handle on everything.
-utronium crystal? What is that a play off of? What ever underwater found rare substance it is what powers the retromutagen ray gun.
-The retromutagen ray gun is the gun that was taken from the alien ship in Bye,Bye Fly so why is it referred to as the retromutagen ray gun? Perhaps Shredder is using the device as a replacement for the destroyed one and this is simply not working?
-Z is a computer chip, I was thinking he was back to his old school laptop look, so I guess there is some continuity here.
"Shredder, I need you!"-Krang, repeating his well known line from Shredder is Splintered.
-I find it odd how Z claims that Baxter is his best friend and he is always expressing how smart Baxter is. It is an odd partnership which Z is in the driver's seat and he acts like Baxter is.
April is caught in a fire that got out of control. Different predicament. Also, coincidence of timing as as soon as they leave guarding the chemicals Baxter shows up. Only Michelangelo and one other Turtle had to go off to help her. Or at least that is what should have happened.
-Leonardo defends Vernon after the scientist suggest it was Vernon's fault. Why defend him?
-Raphael states the obvious pointing out to the hole in the wall in Baxter's form. He does say that Baxter is five and a half feet tall? I thought the Turtles were roughly five feet and he was smaller?
-The scientist is voiced by Townsend Coleman who is using his Rat King voice. Its odd hearing an established character's voice coming out of another,
-Super Slosher 2000 as the newest fire fighting equipment? Odd but funny name.
-Baxter's lack of intelligence plays a role in the episode as he struggles to remember the number of Channel Six News and leaves behind Z who is now inhabiting an iPad before there were such things.
-Burne is a bumblebee- Irma a moth- Vernon a spider - April a wasp. Were there any symbolism to what they were turned into? If I read into it too much Irma eats through relationships as moths eat through clothes. -Bees are the most notable bug, aas far as feared and prestiege so the boss is a bumblebee? Vernon is the creep who started this mess indirectly so him turning Baxter into a meal is ironic...even if he was not able to go through with it. Also, April is The Wasp, a one time leader of The Avengers so being the Turtles human friend that is the connection. Like I said its all speculation.
-Baxter captures Michelangelo and Leonardo. Why are they the captured half of the Turtles? It happens several times! Mix it up!:tgrumble:
-"We insects can never truly rule the world until the Turtles join our kind!"-Baxter. First off is it functioning exactly like Bye, Bye Fly so they could or is it one of those things the Turtles are immune to already being mutants? Perhaps demutate.
-There was an error in either storyboard or animation as Raphael and Donatello stopped because of Vernon's spider web and then come back from commercial and then suddenly they are a few feet up stuck on it.
-Leonardo makes a valid and simple point, "Baxter, just what did we do to you?". "I don't remember, but you will pay anyway".-Baxter. It was a combination of both Shredder for getting Baxter involved and Krang for attempting to execute him( the second time) that put him in the state he is in. However, the Turtles out of character moment is still to come and I would argue they do do something to Baxter.
-The mutagen causes them to be under Baxter's control. The mind controlling agent is not explained as an element to this unique mutagen.
-"Vernon, that is not how we get ride of villains in this show!"-Donatello. Good line and fourth wall acknowledgment. Dregg could have gone the way of death though and I am fine with that!
-The Turtles take Baxter prisoner and are moodier than usual.
-Z uses his control of the Technodrome and Baxter surprisingly did not tip off the Turtles accidentally.
-The primary color buzzsaw droids. Are those the same ones from Enter: The Shredder?
-The four Technodrome residents stay locked up in a closet for most of the episode, but manage to free themselves using Krang's bubble walker as a lever.
-"Its back to the pet shop for you!"-Shredder, another repeated line from Shredder is Splintered.
-Okay so he Turtles go after Baxter to to get the gun to return the human population to normal.
-Michelangelo reach through the portal to gives the Turtles a way back. Why not take Baxter with him? Better to leave him as a fly mutant stuck in an alternate dimension? Baxter is simply not seen after Mike throws his grapple hook.
-That is it for Baxter the fly and his friend Z. Z is still in the portable computer in the Techndrome, but that plotpoint is never followed upon. It is a shame that Baxter did not receive resolution in this series.
