New Episode Discussion: "Meet Casey Jones"
 

Well, Welcome back from that, what two days(?) of drome withdrawal.... :P

I'm gonna start up a new topic for the new ep from this weekend (thanks for the name! :goofygri: ), and we'll go from there! :D

Ep was "Meet Casey Jones".

Hahaha, my first locked thread. :cry:

So I was a little nervious when Raph grabbed the metel pipe and was about to hit mikey! Anyone else feel squimish? I loved the allusion to "field of dreams" I totally loved Mikey in the eppisode (which is saying a lot because I am such a Raph girl.)

I loved that it was "my father" and "my son" and the very end when leo was like, "he's your brother" that was great.

I also loved when raph kept making leo doing the split kick over again...great.

JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!

I loved it... the only thing I didn't like was that weird alien elevator thingy. I hope they explain that later on, it can't just BE there.

Just out of curiosity Machias...with me still being a newbie and all, can everyone lock a thread or how does this system work?

On related note for the ep. however, it was a great episode - not as much humour as the last one, but great interactions still (The part with Leo and Raph talking about the split-kicks is a little too repetitive though).

It's probably implied that somebody (or aliens like the utroms perhaps?) built the elevator connecting the sewer to the warehouse. But if the elevator as only one door for exiting and that door happens to be blocked by a concrete wall in the beginning...how do people get out once they're below ground level again?

I don't think it was the Utroms... it just doesn't seem to be in their character, tp go around building elevators (based on what I know of them from the comics). But it probably was them... they're the only aliens.

Hmmm....well whoever did build it is probably living in the sewers right now I think, cause Mikey said something about seeing crystals in broken form when cleaning out the old pad.

Haven't read the original comics - heck, all I know about the Utroms is that they look like Krang or something (or am I wrong on that one too?) So if anyone won't mind, who exactly are the Utroms again?

I thought the split kick part was funny...because that is SO Raphael. :D

I think the elivator was done by the utroms...I believe its left over from something...and I'm very sure they explaine it later on...

OR It is possible that while the wherehouse was in use it was much more stylish...and thus needed a funky looking elevator...

BUTSince Mikey did talk about finding crystals like that all over...I bet its aliens. Donnie will just have to analyze the crystals. HA HA.

***starts to think about the old show and how every eppisode Donnie was analyzing something new.***

I don't know, it just doesn't seem right to be, the Utroms building strange elevators and leaving them. But, as I said, they're the only aliens in the that I know of, so it was prolly them.

Wait just a darned minute... supposing it was the Triceratons? I forgot about them.

Haha, that is so true though now that you mention it. The old Don seems to be all over the place with his analysis.

Speaking of which, I find it pretty refreshing that for once it is Mikey who comes up with the battle armor truck design instead of Don...shows he ain't the only techo-geek in town :)

I guess we'll just have to wait and see!!! (like we would do otherwise.)

But I don't wanna. I wanna know now! :(

I really liked the episode and it is my favorite yet! I would also like to know more about that weird glowing alienvator thingy.

Oh boy, who are these Triceratons again?

Aliens who look like... Triceratops! Yeah, I know, big surpirse. :P

Ooooooh Triceratons never thought of them as building that!

Wow that was my favorite episode yet! This one was jam packed with violence, anger, and Raphael struggling to control himself. The battle scene at the end was the best of the series so far. The elevator is definetely intriguing, I guess we'll have to wait and see.

That part when Raph grabbed the pipe and flew at Mikey, that was quite a bit more violent than I expected...

I was actually surprised with the amount of violence. It doesn't bother me...just surprised.

Really they look like dinosaurs?! :roll:

I said this before...but I took a HUGE deep breath and was like... "some one stop that crazy raph boy!"

On a side note, I just wanna comment on the Casey Jones deal.

Cause last week, we're all hyped up to see Casey in action...and so far, it seems like we're more attracted to the elevator than Casey (in fact, his name hasn't even come up except in the 2nd post or something)

I think the voice actor doing Casey's voice is great. But the end bit with Casey and Raph beating each other on the ground is a little...umm...strange. Love him and can't wait to see more of him though!

No, it doesn't bother me either, but I too was surprised.

So was I but I actually liked it better with more violence!

Albeit some very badass dinosaurs...

As far as casey...my friend sent me and IM while we were watching it and goes, "damn he's hot this time around!" I was like... yeah but he's no RAPH! :roll:

I do like Casey this time though...less crazy...and it looks like he has a reason to be mad....not just for the sake of beating people up. ya know?

Don't click on the link if you don't want to be spoiled!

I found an answer to the elevator, just read the summary for episode 15, Notes From the Underground Part 3.

Three other points:
Casey was one bad dude. They got his character right. I also liked the backstory for Casey. It now sets up animosity between him and Hun.

I also liked the role of the Purple Dragons in this ep. They were mean and well organized. They are hardly the braindead push over villian fodder of most cartoons. I'm thankful for that as well.

I really want to praise everyone over at FoxBox, Dong Woo, and Mirage for this series. So far the writing has been absolutely terriffic and the serial storyline is a brilliant idea. It's like a moving comicbook.

I'm waiting for next week when it's Nanotech monster time!

question where nanotechs in the comics? they're kinda like the microbots from the old show...

Also...About the eppisode guide I read number 15 IT MADE ME SO LOST...haha...i guess i'll JUST WAIT TO WATCH!

Speaking of the Purple Dragons, we can now be sure the original dragon leader from ep. 1 is gone probably...(I'm thinking the new leader's that Dragonface dude whatnots)

And in Casey's flashback, am I the only one thinking the big mean dude with a bandanna is Hun...he does have the dragon tattoo on his left arm. It'll be interesting to see how Casey will react once / if he sees Hun's face in later ep.

It was Hun, no doubt about it. I wonder if that other Dragon leader in ep 1 wasn't really the leader though, and if this new guy is. Actually, niether of them should bem Hun is the leader of the Dragons, or at least he's supposed to be.

I need to watch it a second time, but it was a very good episode. This is just one damn well written and animated cartoon. Just awesome stuff.

Ditto to everything you said!!!!!!!!

I think the official site said Hun's not in the Purple Dragons anymore but rather in charge of the Foots...here fresh off from that Sneak Peak @ the official site:

Hun is the commander of Shredder's Elite Ninja, the best of the Foot Ninja forces. Hun is a mountain of muscle with deadly Ninjitsu skills, and he's almost as feared as Shredder himself. The monumental man was taken in by Shredder when he was a child member of the Purple Dragon gang. After years of personal instruction from Saki, Hun is as formidable foe as the Turtles may face... save for Saki himself. Hun views Shredder as his father, and he would do anything that the villain requests.

The Purple Dragons are the toughest street gang in the Big Apple... but smart they ain't. They are a fierce, nasty bunch of not-too-clever, anti-social hoods. The one factor that keeps the Purple Dragons on top is that they're connected. Thanks to Hun's early involvement in their gang and his association with the Shredder, the Purple Dragons thrive as the Foot's lower level manpower, handling tasks like shakedowns, protection rackets and other small-scale criminal operations.

I missed the entire episode, I woke up and saw the credits, and then I went back to sleep. Did the new Casey talk like the old one, you know with that Clint Eastwood-esque voice?

It was very good...it was very similar to the microseries on Raphael. I would like to kill my videotape. It ran out of tape 5 minutes before the episode ended. Grrrrrr I have to retape it next week.

not in the vol 1, but they are in vol 4.

This episode was really great, I would like to know the mysteries behind that elevator chamber, But anyways, The chemistry for Raphael & Casey Jones worked really well on this episode, They both are equals in terms of the problems they deal with in there emotions, I cant wait for the next episode, Plus I would love to see April's reaction when she finally meets Casey, I'm sure in the comics they fallen in love at some point.

I liked it, but I'm not much of a fan of Casey's voice. It seems like the actor is trying too hard.
