New Episode Discussion - Darkness on the edge of town
 
Discuss today's episode!

Eye of Sarnath 03-15-2003 09:58 AM

It was awesome! :o

Classic TMNT. Shredder, giant weapons, you know. Plus some great ninja action. Face it, you've always wanted to see the TMNT duke it out with the Foot on what looked like a pirate ship (and I didn't think they used ships like that anymore).

What the heck was that thing Shredder wanted from the lake?

PEEEEEEEEEEEERFEECT!!!
 
WOW! That was the BEST thing I've ever seen in a cartoon, or even TV show. Seriously, this episode was perfectly amazing in every way. It know holds a solid position as my favorite Turtle-thing EVER second only to the first movie, and that is HUGE. The story was amazing, I wont leave any spoilers here, but I was in awe of how much better it kept getting as it went on. SO much amazing fighting, and the best use of weapons ever. And the only thing I'll say specifically about the episode - Shredder kicking ass against the Foot Clan?!?! WOW, he's actually a NINJA this time around unlike the old cartoon. PERFECT. A++++++ BEST EPISODE OF ANYTHING EVER!!!!!!

Dontebell 03-15-2003 10:01 AM

boy sherdder kill anyone who fail him.

and the skatebord and rollerskate remind me of the cgi hover board sence.

SlayerX 03-15-2003 10:01 AM

It was a good episode :D much better than nano :wink: that sword is pretty cool, the sword of tengu. what was that suit thing or whatever it was that they pulled out of the water?? i had no idea, and its driving me crazy as to what it is / does :( next weeks episode is the debut of the foot tech ninja, WOO! what was up with baxters eye patch? could it be.. covering a black eye? *cough* hun *cough* :lol:

Eye of Sarnath 03-15-2003 10:01 AM

So I'm not the only one who thought it was great I guess. Nice return to the main storyline.

Definatly not :evilgrin: this was a great episode

Mr. Snackpants 03-15-2003 10:03 AM

It was a pretty good episode but not as good as I thought it was gunna be. Next weeks looks really good. Baxter, Foot Tech Ninjas, and Hun fighting the turtles, gunna be awsome.

You guys should serioulsy post "Partial Spoiler" in your posts when you give info like this. I am one who dosen't want to know what the next episode holds, and I get kind of annoyed when I start reading a post and the plot is given away. Please be mindful of your posts. This is for EVERYONE.

Thanks

Nah, this episode was one of the best.

Storm Wolf 03-15-2003 10:04 AM

I thought it was pretty good.....the next episode looks very exciting as well!

Keno 03-15-2003 10:05 AM

It was a graet episode. Lots of action! Great fight scenes.
Loved the part where Mikey got the pirate accent and then he was like "uhh.forget the blow me over part!"

NEXT WEEKS looks SOOOOOOO good!!!!!!!!!! :o

Nturtle 03-15-2003 10:05 AM

Okay, I don't think it was "the best thing ever" :P But it was good!!
I didn't like that first fight with the bicycles and scooters, that was just weird :|
The later fight was preety good. Yeah it had Shredder beating people up, awesome of course!!!! :D :D
I don't know about that sword though, it was kind of weird, I mean it shoots crazy waves, and what the hell was that thing Shredder was after, the body with the seaweed or whatever :-?
This Episode gets a.... 8.6 out of 10

Dontebell 03-15-2003 10:05 AM

the foot tech ninjas are robot? cool!

The question that everyone asks, and noone knows :lol: :P

Eye of Sarnath 03-15-2003 10:08 AM

It looked like a corpse... but I doubt that's what it was.

SlayerX 03-15-2003 10:10 AM

To me it looked like a shredder costume... but then he had his in that case in his throne room :( also that thing they pulled out of the water had no left hand :P ...or maybe it was right :goofygri:

Also, I wonder if Oroku Saki (Sp?) is like me, never leaving his room :lol: I cant wait til he turns into Shredder, that is gonna be a sweet episode :D :D

HorseTechie 03-15-2003 10:11 AM

I thought it was another wierd Utrom artifact, since it couldn't be Cyborg Baxter... :D

Eye of Sarnath 03-15-2003 10:11 AM

Utroms, good thought. At first I thought it was Cyborg Baxter too! :P

Mr. Snackpants 03-15-2003 10:12 AM

are the foot tech ninjas robot? cause in the preview it showed don giving out goggles and said even if they are invincible, they give of body heat.

Storm Wolf 03-15-2003 10:12 AM

I don't know if anyone else agrees but I think Shredder was a pretty kick-ass fighter!

I think some of the fighting scenes were great...lots of action though! Can't wait to see when the Turtles get to battle Shredder.....thats gonna be some fight!

Raphael-sama 03-15-2003 10:13 AM

GAH! I turned off the TV before I could watch the preview for next week's episodes... bah...

Right then. This episode, as I figured, kicked all sorts of ass. Plenty of Saki, lots of Ninja action, and foreshadowing of things to come with Splinter. (of course, WE know it already, so it matters little. :D) I am TOTALLY digging Shredder in this cartoon- he hands TMNTG1's Shredder his helmet - COVERED IN POOP! Training his troops, zero tolerance for failure (and doing it the PROPER villian way, instead of shouting hundreds of different variations on "YOU FOOLS!") And look! Marty Isenberg! Huzzah!

No, they're human with special outfits. But even if they weren't human they would prolly still give off heat. Machines tend to do that.

Dontebell 03-15-2003 10:16 AM

i really missed the robot foot soldier,cause that way the turtles can use there weapons on them.

HorseTechie 03-15-2003 10:18 AM

Oh. I thought Shredder was good, as was in Foot.

And then.... notice the extreme turtles? :P

I liked the immplied theory behind that Sword of Tengu. It seems to feed off the persona chi energy to get it's static energy. Noticed that when it's held by a bare hand, it glows. But when the others hold it with that glov, it doesn't?

I had an idea for a sword like that i one fo my fanfics that involved Venus. Like she would sent her chi through the sword, instead of just using the ka mi. :evilgrin:

Nturtle 03-15-2003 10:19 AM

Well about the seaweed body thing...
Yeah it is probably something to do with the utroms because as Saki said "It proves the exisistence of my enimies" and that the sword can locate artifacts and it was an artifact of sorts...

TheOldKing 03-15-2003 10:21 AM

I wasn't able to hear the episode today. Anyone else have that problem? It was like watching a silent film, but the fighting and animation was very good. Is it airing again next weekend and if so, what time? The next one looks good too, I think Baxter might've lost an eye.

True.. but it looks like they might have some of those in the future too...

*wonders what the rule is about kncoking off cyborgs that are half human*

TMNT571 03-15-2003 10:22 AM

Yeah the new ep was great. But one thing i don't realy see leo as a scooterer. i mean i don't like that he needs something better

Did you at least watch it with Closed Caption on? :P I cant imagine watching a show silently... especially TMNT!!

TMNT571 03-15-2003 10:23 AM

i think they said at 9:00 next week and then the new one is still on at 10:30

LOL! I thought that was dumb, i can see Mike as a skateboarder, Raph as a rollerblader, but I think Leo should have been the biker, and Don be the scooterer ( :lol: ) I think someone like a leader should have something better than a freakin scooter! :goofygri:

Nturtle 03-15-2003 10:28 AM

i really didn't like any of heir vehicles except for of course the skateboard!! :D

Eye of Sarnath 03-15-2003 10:34 AM

The skateboard was cool, but Mike seems like the only one to me that would ride one.

Dontebell 03-15-2003 10:36 AM

since i never read the old comic book befor.did baxter turn back into a human?

and do the boat scence remind you of the turtles IV game?

ninjapizza 03-15-2003 10:37 AM

I thought Raph's blades were pretty cool. especially when he did that flip over the foot soldiers. I like how they incorporated the extreme vehicles without making it all "Rocket-Powery". Like, the turtles weren't yelling a whole bunch of slang words and such. It was actually pretty cool.

Mr. Snackpants 03-15-2003 10:37 AM

It's cool how the scooter and the bike can be so compact

PanMan 03-15-2003 10:40 AM

i think this ep was good but not great. i was expecting more from the preview, but it was still good anyways (definitely better than nano :wink: ).

i really didn't like the fight with the sports equipment . . . it was really cheesy :roll:

it was funny at the start when splinter was dodging the TMNT in the lair, especially when mike grabbed splinter's food :lol: . another thing was when the blackout occured in the lair . . . Dons like "maybe it's a blackout." and then i was thinking "maybe it's a way to cheap out on animation" :lol:

i'm also surprised with the animation . . . for example they never switched that glove from the left hand to the right hand (at least i didn't notice it if they did :wink: ). Although i didn't like raphs roller blades :goofygri:

i think that sword was pretty cool but i have no idea what that body in the river was. i'm watching the ep again so maybe i'll have an idea within the next 20min. :wink:

good episode, not the best but an 8.5 / 10 :)

I agree with you. Thanks god Leo didn't fight with it like the other did. :dead:

Talking about Leo, anyone noticed that once again he saved Raph shell. I think he did it in every episode so far (not sure about "nano"). I loved that episode, great fighting scenes and funny lines. It was also cool to see Shredder in action, even if it was only training :D . But I want to know what was that thing they found in the water. An old magic armor ? An alien corpse ?

The next ep seems really good too (Raph and Casey seem to be captured by the foot clan). I'll have to wait another week before I find out for sure.....

Nope.... he just walked out into the depths of the atlantic ocean, then the series ended.

PanMan 03-15-2003 11:01 AM

upon closer inspection, that body thing looks kinda like UltraMan Tiga without his left leg :-? :lol:
