Official Episode Discussion: "SuperQuest"
 

Greetings, gamers of the internets! This week is yours to relish...

The boys are taking a headlong leap into the world of Online RPG, promising some crazy action and LOTS of inside jokes. In this week's episode, Donatello discovers a large portion of Splinter's data bits inside Mike's online game of Superquest. The boys are forced to enter the programs, donning the clothes and abilities of those in the game; Changelings, wizards, knights and one very pissy Jester.

Now, the size of the location they're searching is Enormous. But using Don's ever helpful techno gadgets, it should be considered an easy job, right? Unfortunately, not...

Their efforts meet a new obstacle when Splinter's data bits are pooled into a large competition. In order to get their father's remnants back, must compete in a massive free-for-all to retrieve the two keys needed to open the treasure chest. So now they have to go against every gamer imaginable, from camping newbs to the 30-something hardcore gamer that still lives in their parents' basement. Through the L33T and the
LOLs, they must fight their way through the masses and win back their father's data.

And who knows what cheats could be up the sleeve of the infamous "Ultimate Gamer"..?

Having seen this sneak peek, it makes me think of the Battle Nexus. Instead of an old tengu with an "Ultimate Ninja", it's a old Gandolf type with an "Ultimage Gamer". Taking the remaining episodes into account, this SHOULD be a major find in the hopes of returning Splinter to normal. Fortunately, Mike's knowledge of the game will prove to be helpful in beating this game - kinda like when he was (I must say it!) Battle
Nexus Champion!

Let's hope Mike doesn't drive his brothers into considering Team-killing...

And as is necessary, I leave you with these starter questions...

WILL THE TURTLES FIND THE KEYS?!
HOW WILL THEY DEAL WITH THE ULTIMATE GAMER?!
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO SPLINTER'S DATA BITS?!


And even though Trolls cry themselves to sleep whenever I say it...

Armageddon: How bad can it be?

STAY TUNED!!!

Opening early... have fun!

Ok I don't have much to say, this is hands down the lamest episode ever, and such a waste seriously!
Next week looks promissing though.

Hun's the Elfanator?, talk about irony.

My goodness. I cannot comment sufficiently, as I'm still processing this weird randomness of an episode... What was that?

LOL @ WoW addicts!

i liked it!:D

Total sh1t is what it was, aka another wated episode down the drain.
That's what this series should be called TMNT: Down the Drain.
And seriously another Looney Tunes reference in this episode? When Raph the Frog is dancing it's pretty much like that Michigan J. Frog charcter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_J._Frog
That was pretty embarrassing as a Raph fan.

I would tend to agree but:



It seems like either a leftover concept from FF (especially Raph's "Dahhhrrrg I hate the ______" moments) or a sample script they had for "TMNT Cyberworld." I agree it was a waste though. I was hoping that they would be the last Splinter bits or something meaningful. I liked this season up until the last few episodes, but next week looks like we're getting back to where the season started off... I mean, hard to believe just a few weeks ago they were talking about Casey coming home with other people's blood on his shirt.

Musta been a hit with kids though.

Anyone else think that Raph's costume was obviously patterned after Harley Quinn?

Hun being the green elf gamer in the end was the funniest part of the episode. The second funniest part being when Mikey gave his his excited thumbs up right before the theme song.

If this season was 26 episodes than an ep like this would have been acceptable, but with only 13 eps they shouldn't be wasting eps like this.

It was ok, but I can see why some wouldn't like it.

I think they're going down the path of things like when they continued the X-Files with the second movie this year and, instead of finding things to wrap up (unless they already think they've done enough), are just trying to fill their quota of episodes and hope that they're good enough.

But either way, this episode was pretty funny, especially the first half. First off, Raph was funny throughout. BTW, when I heard him singing in "The King", I was like, "OK Raph, you're not allowed to sing anymore." Now, he's officially barred from doing it no matter what species he is! :lol:
I thought this episode was a pretty good filler although IMO I didn't exactly like Hun as the Elfinator--since when did he ever become an avid gamer, let alone have the time for games? I also kind of think that the real player of the Ultimate Gamer was a good way for the show to point fingers at the Internet Culture and show how some tough guys on the 'net are just a bunch of geeks or liars or whatever (same with the rest of Internet culture as well when they revealed the player of the wizard). And Leo showed some backbone this episode as well.
Now I'm going to see the preview for next week, looks good.

I LOVED THIS EPISODE!!!

It even had people talking in internet nerd talk, which I found to be funny.

Saying things like "PWNED" AND "NOOB," was downright hilarious. I bet people say that silly stuff in real life.

Anyhow, I am a gamer, seeing that dragon with a health bar was pretty cool.

I thought this episode was going to be downright stupid, turns out to be one of my favorites. How is that for ironic.

-X-

i dont know about you guys but i wa slaughing hysterically when i saw Raph's little song... the reason i think thi s was an ok episode is because it was funny and humiliating to the turtles... a classic feel we havn't been privilaged to much since the original series, but on the same token however with the lack of episodes remaining i do believe they should care about the fans more enough so that they give certain characters who have been robbed of the screentime a little more limelight (ahem... Ratking)

btw... anybody else ever wonder what the hell happened to Bishop?
and we still havn't seen Karai yet except in the flashback where they just use an old clip

well, theyre probably gonna be in cuberworld more than nyc so we obviously have to wait until later in the season.

That was way better than Fast Forward's "The Gaminator". So, as far as comedy eps go, it was spot on. I just love themed parodies. :D Of course, Hun being the Elfinator rather than The Ultimate Gamer was quite a shock, and laugh-out-loud hilarious as well. ^_^

Why does it seem like the Raph of this show is becoming more and more like old toon Raph as the show goes on?

He isn't anywhere near as funny as old toon Raph, but he now has the same kind of sarcasm and is being played for laughs in a lot of eps.

becuz theyre trying to fix the mistake they made in fast forward with grumpy raph.

Well I can say this its better then any of those Fast Foreward episodes where Mikey loves videogames. Although thats not saying much since they pretty much sucked. Some of the jokes where pretty funny like Hun being elfinator and the pokeing fun at MMO gamers. I liked the Jester Raph turning him into a frog and making him act like the WB frog was lame and just plain random. This episode was a waste of time and budget something unlike most seasons we used to have. So far this is the second worst of the season the first belongs to that god awful Serling episode.

Next week thank god its seems we are getting back to the good stuff. Hopefully something important happens like Shredeer gets out or they get all of Splinter or something these stand alone just aren't working for me.

son of a Bitch!!! I slept in and missed this episode! and I wanted to see it because I thought it would be funny. WTF man! Ok people until this episode is put up in the place that shall remain nameless, I want screen caps! Screen caps now!

I missed it too b/c the stupid dvd recorder recored on the wrong channel! UGH!

shhh, we're aren't supposed to say that. :shifty:

Here we go again...on my own: Jester's running commentary:

My roomate and I saw the episode and both agreed it was the worst of the season. Aside from a couple of funny beats with the Raph frog and Hun at the end, it was a waste. Maybe its my natural disdain for online RPGs. On the up and up, Mikey continues to be written decently.

Oh, and everyone who was worried it would be like "The Gaminator" from Season Six, well, this was much worse than "The Gaminator."

This episode's downright hilarious. I loved the jokes and the plot twists. The MMORPG jabs are spot on funny and Raph totally stole the show. I cracked up when he was holding the sais as a frog.

Look's like a bunch of 4kids guys are pretty excited about the Wrath of the Lich King release.

I simply loved Raph as a frog. Lol.

Oh I'm sure I'm not the only one who begs to differ.

What's that?

P.S. Preview is pretty good on the next episode.

Did I miss something was it a good episode because i couldn't see it. The news was on talking about the fire near my city. Just to saw I hope everyone is ok and I'll be praying for them. This is the second time it happend. The first time was the first episode. I hope I'm not wasting you guys time. Sorry if I am. Ok I'm done.

You know, I have to admit I chuckled a bit with the running commentary Leo was doing while trying to control his changeling powers. "This is humiliating..." Funny.

For some reason, I think the hardest I ever laughed from this show was in "The Gaminator" when those duplicate Mikeys popped up. But that's just me.

Got nothing to say about this episode, as I didn't see it. I'll let y'all know when I do.

I couldn't help but note how ridiculous the premise was... I thought I would find this mediocre, but I think the execution of it was pretty good, and a lot of fun. Site gags crack me up every time, and Leo's cycle of shapechanges had me in giggles. The glimpses of the players were funny, and I can cite a few times where someone's fallen asleep in a game like that, and you're poking at them to respond... LOL. Raph's totally deadpan delivery of whimsy was delightful. And I was truly flabbergasted by the identity of the Elfinator... though it makes some kind of weird sense, I think... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y73...ons/unsure.gif

I think they could have gotten away with showing them as creatures other than Turtles (er, besides Raph, of course :lol:), since their voices would be the same, but that's a minor point, really. And Raph actually paid attention to his fairy tales, even if he was a bit off the mark... :D

I enjoyed this episode so much! It was soooo funny. :D

Funny moments that can't make me stop giggling: 1)Raph being a Jester 2) Leo morphing into cute little animals 3) Mike's reaction when he found out they were going into the game :lol:

Most shocking, head scratching moments: 1) Raph volunteering himself to kiss the witch 2) Raph singing and dancing to distract the Ultimate Gamer 3) Hun turning out to be the Elfinator :o

Next weeks episode looks wicked dramatic.:sick:

When I saw Raph singing I could not stop laughing :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

About 10 seconds before Raph tryed to kiss the witch, I accutually thought they might have to do that at first, but then a second later I relised that she would turn him into a frog.

And about Leo turning into all those different animals, I agree, "This is humilliating!"

Bishop went back to work, Karai settled down. Stop asking for their return.

As for this episode...truely garbage. The reason people are giving this higher marks is likely because there fans of the original series, or because we're "back in the present", which doesnt disguise anything at this stage. Going back to the present was often associated with "returning to quality". They have scarsely accomplished this. THREE out of Thirteen isnt a world record in anyone's book...and like FF, we're used to watching stupidity so we may as well reward it.

MMORPG humour was done better with South Park, and don't get me started on the ameture "shock value" comedy moment with who was also playing and enjoying the game. Watch season one, watch season four...is THIS what you're laughing at? Is this what great characters have come to?

People will enjoy any old s*it these days.:roll:

I want to say something sarcastic and mean... but you're in deep **** man...

Not much to say about this episode, except it did feel a little out of place. It seemed as if the writers or whoever were attempting to mix The Wizard of Oz with a knights and dragons kinda deal.

Next week's looks like it's gettin' back into what we're used to and I'm intrigued about it.

Apprently it wasn't because people are still in the OMGZ :oWe Hatez The FF's Mode.

Of course, somehow this episode would have been better in FF... somehow.... I dunno... if Viral trapped them in there or Jammerhead was involved in some way. It really seems like a repeat of the Helix episode. Plus, as much as I like Mikey, I've seen enough Mikey centric episodes the last 2 seasons to last me a life time.

This just came off as a really bad (third season) Captain N episode. It would have been much funnier if they really slaughtered the material... but they didn't. It's something that Duck Dodgers, Welcome to the NHK, and even the Simpsons did much better.
