Official Episode Discussion: S2 #1 "The Mutation Situation"
 
Welcome back for Season Two!


Last season was wild... we learned about the Kraang's primary goal of transforming Earth to their gooey hearts' desires. We saw Splinter's earth-shattering revelation that his daughter was alive - and a blood enemy.

Well, it looks like things are going to get very complicated for our band of brothers. It seems the Kraang and the Shredder have decided to band together against their common foe, and have continued with the next phase of the Kraang's plan: Transforming the flora and fauna of Earth to match that of Dimension X.... and no humans are safe.

How much time has passed since we last saw the Hamato Clan? What has happened to the Technodrome since it sank to the bottom of the ocean? And how large a scale is this operation?


Stay Tuned!!

Hmm... I'm not seeing it on the XBL website. Most recent addition to Volume 3 is the "Ninjas in New York" 4 min recap from September. I'm at work though so can't check my actual 360.

Wait is having an Xbox the only way to see it?? Can you give spoilers???

Venom 10-09-2013 08:10 AM

Opening this up early as the episode is available for viewing now in the US via the Nick app on Xbox Live!!

Gonna keep it light on plot points at the moment since many wont't see it til Saturday, but I will say there isn't any progression on the status on the Technodrome.

The opening sequence has been modified, showing more characters than Dogpound & Fishface in the Shredder montage.

What a fun episode, though! It seems the theme this season will be the Turtles having to locate a LOT of missing mutagen that is scattered all over the city, as well as the mutant fallout that will arise from the situation, on top of the other things they have to deal with.

Keep an ear out for Mike's "monster name" for Kirby, and those of us more versed in memes will get a good chuckle out of the "Dramatic Hamster" homage.

Venom can you PM who they show in the opening and the story spoilers? I don't mind being spoiled:D Wish my PS3 had this app.

Was Karai in the opening sequence??

Donatello19 10-09-2013 12:42 PM

Nick app? Xbox Live? Hm...very weird. Even though I have a 360 (which I NEVER use) I'm gonna just wait for Saturday.

JTH 10-09-2013 01:39 PM

Just saw the episode.

Man, it's definitely not a happy ending...:(

You can post spoilers but when you're creating a post you use the [S.POI.LER]post content here[/SPO.ILER] tags minus the full stops. If that's what you mean?

I think NinjaMan meant could the person who watched the episode post spoilers.

Yup, or PM if they don't want to post them here. :D

Cure 10-09-2013 03:38 PM

Pretty good episode! Not great for an opener, but still fun and exciting. I guess I'll post the spoilers for those who care. So yeah, SPOILERS.
Spoiler:

The intro shows various badguys besides Dogpound and Fishface now, like Newtralizer and Karai.

The turtles are still celebrating their victory over Shredder and the Kraang. Splinter tells them they're being overly cocky. Feels like he's yelled at them for that before, but whatever.

They receive a transmission from the orb and go chasing after the invisible ship. They fight the biotroid there and accidentally release a bunch of mutagen over the city. Kirby mutates into a bat.

Mikey tries to call the Kirby bat Wingnut but gets scolded for being insensitive.

April gets upset about her father mutating after they manage to trap him in a cage. Mikey, trying to cheer her up, says it's not her fault but theirs. He promises to fix everything. However, knowing that it's their fault, April gets angry and never wants to see their faces again.

It ends with Splinter telling them to find every canister in the city before awful things happen.


So there you go. Good episode.

JTH 10-09-2013 03:46 PM

Full detail spoilers
 
I'm going to reveal as much as I remember so here it is. Don't glimpse if you wish to be surprised.

Spoiler:
Episode starts probably a couple weeks after the Finale as the Turtles are on the surface partying, and reoccurring events that happened to show their awesomeness to each other. Donnie then tells the others they should go see April. April when they meet at her apartment says that her dad is having terrible nightmares about the Kraang abduction and has been keeping April from leaving at night in fear. The turtles swear that April and everyone will be safe being the Kraang & Shredder are gone, but it's revealed that Shredder has contacted the Kraang about receiving a shipment that will be arriving shortly.

(The only differences in the Title that I recall was the Shredder scene with Fishface & Dogpound now has a scrolling effect of numerous villains that include SpiderBytes, Snakeweed, The Rat King, Newtralizer, Karai, Kraang, Shredder and some others. Also in the Donatello part of theme, you now see Metalhead walking on screen while Donnie is doing his regular bit.)

Leo, Mikey, & Raph are then playing Ninja Dodgeball with the Kraang Communication Orb while Donnie is in his lab beginning the first steps of building Timothy's suit (So it does appear that Donnie will make the suit for him) After a harsh lecture from Splinter saying the Turtles have become lazy and cocky since the Kraang's defeat, the Kraang Orb starts going off signaling that the Kraang are back. Donnie learns that the Kraang are using a Stealth Ship to carry whatever they have for shipment and has designed a tracker (The Game Boy looking contraption) to find it. He tells April to take to the surface though she claims she would have no clue how to use it, then they ask if her dad would which leads to April and her on the roof while the Turtles attempt to break into the ship. During the fight in the ship with the blue Gorilla Kraang they discover that the shipment is hundreds of canisters of mutagen and after a critical error opening a cargo hatch in the ship, all the mutagen canisters fall out of the ship and into the city.

One canister looks like it's about to hit April, but her dad shields her from it causing him to mutate after Kirby falls from the roof, bats fly all around him and trigger him to mutate into a bat. After the Turtles escape the ship they see the mutant bat staring at April and begin to attack, but April tells them to stop, during the distraction, Kirby freaks and grabs April and flies off.

Back in the sewer, the Turtles from come up with a plan and after Mikey wonders what silly sucker would be used as bait, the Turtles put Mikey in a ridiculous fly looking costume. (Mikey calls himself "TurFlytle") The Turtles go out to find Kirby while April is trapped on a ledge on a tall building. Raph and Leo use Mikey to attract Kirby (Mikey does call him "Wingnut", which Donnie threatens Mikey to not give April's dad a monster name) After Donnie is knocked out of the sky, he finds April and gets her off the ledge while the others are barely able to get Kirby to the warehouse and trap him in a cage just as April arrives.

April asks the Turtles what they can do for her dad and she says that everything is her fault for lying to her dad. But Mikey goes to her and says that it wasn't her, that it was their fault for spilling the mutagen over the city. April though then is taken aback and confronts the Turtles for the mutagen spill and after a bitter exchange, Kirby breaks out of the cage he is trapped in and goes back on the attack, after Donnie strikes Kirby to protect April, Kirby flies off and escapes and April is now furious at the Turtles for her dad now gone. Donnie begins to say something and reach out to her, but April shuts him up and tells him to not touch her and that she never wants to see the Turtles again and runs off. Donnie begins to run after her, but Raph stops him and says it won't do any good and to just let her go, crushing Donnie.

After learning of the failure of the Kraang, Shredder decides to cut ties with the Kraang and decides to find his own army to assist in his vendetta.

The episode ends with the Turtles back in the lair with Splinter telling them to not dwell on the past, but rather on how to fix the future, and the episode ends with a squirrel running up to a broken mutagen canister and licking and his eyes get all glowy in "Dramatic Chipmunk" style, ending the episode.

NinjaMan 10-09-2013 04:52 PM

Spoiler:
So maybe Mutagen is looking for April to help Donnie get over being depressed which is why we seen him chasing her?


Wow thanks, sounds like a winner. Can't wait to see it.

snake 10-09-2013 06:19 PM

This episode is going to be great. Sadly, I'm going to miss it (NYCC) so hopefully it's on iTunes the day after.

Donatello19 10-09-2013 06:21 PM

Well, until I see it that is...

Overlordofnobodies 10-09-2013 06:30 PM

Well if ever one is telling the true and I dont see why any one will lie. I think I'm going to cry at the end.

Spoiler:
I hope April does not stay mad with the boys for to long. As I will really hate it if she is gone for most of the season do to hating them.

NinjaPug 10-09-2013 06:51 PM

I wonder if this means they scrapped their plans for Wingnut. My guess is probably.

Colonel Schrader 10-09-2013 06:53 PM

any way for non xbox ppl to see it?

That doesn't make sense. This was meant to be it since the beginning.

If they already name-dropped the name for a different character, chances are Wingnut isn't going to show up. Remember he only had character sketches, its entirely possibly they scraped the idea to bring the character in after they decided to change Kirby into a bat.

Danakin 10-10-2013 02:28 AM

Not sure if anyone else caught it but Casey was also added to the intro, right before the Turtles climb to the rooftop at the end. He looks pretty bad ass.

JH24 10-10-2013 05:05 AM

Wow, I couldn't resist glancing over the spoilers and my eye caught what happened at the end. I didn't expect the story to go that way. It seems it will be a great opening and set up episode for this season.

Zulithe 10-10-2013 06:26 AM

avoiding spoilers... but wanting to see the ep. I have no xbox (nor do I want one), but I checked the Nick app on Windows 8 and it's not on there :(

Guess there is no other way to watch it currently?

NinjaMan 10-10-2013 06:48 AM

Is it possible if someone could get screen grabs of Casey in the intro and the villains that were added?

My guess is no and that they will meet him in dimension x when they find Leatherhead and he will tell them his name and Mikey will be like seeeee guyyss!!:lol:

It's not like they can't have 2 Bat characters.
And Wingnut has been an alien in every other version of the TMNT so what's not to say he wont be this time around.

Timmetry 10-10-2013 10:45 AM

I can see it happening like you say, with Wingnut telling them his name and Mikey saying "see", but I can also see him telling them his name is, for example, Smith, and Mikey saying, "I'm gonna call you Wingnut."

Maybe Mutagen man wants to find April so he can make her pay for breaking Donnie's heart.

TigerClaw 10-10-2013 02:55 PM

I know that Michelangelo
Spoiler:
would name the Kirby Bat... Wingnut

Donatello being totally against it.

snake 10-10-2013 07:01 PM

Wingnut's going to show up. Trust me.

Donatello19 10-10-2013 07:37 PM

Is Casey in this episode? Mutagen Man? No spoilers please, just a yes or no.

Casey - No
Timothy - For a bit, but it's not his official introduction

Technogeek29 10-12-2013 09:22 AM

It's an ok episode not a very strong start but then again I said the same for Rise of the Turtles so that might change. Did Mikey act strangely like his 2k3 counterpart to anyone? Unnecessary taunting, Boasting constantly of his skills (in his defense so was everyone else)
