Official Episode Discussion S2 #19 "The Wrath of Tiger Claw""
Hey all,
http://vimeo.com/97382558 <-- if anyone knows how to embed these here on the forums, Please let me know! Sorry this is last second - life's been nuts. So, after several weeks of weird stuff of mutants and whatnot, we're finally getting back to the storyline of Karai, shredder and that whole kidnapping - stockholm syndrome type stuff... Everyone knows now that Karai is Miwa. So... I don't know how things will change now that Karai knows - will she do anything about it, or will she stay glued to Shredder's side as always? And what the heck happened to Tiger Claw after getting swallowed by one of the nasty Kraang worms back in 'Wormquake'? Stay tuned! |
About 90 minutes till the episode. Who's having very late night pizza?

So basically anyone who buys the episode (or season pass) from amazon, itunes or similar digital retailer gets to watch it 11 hours early... assuming you are even awake at midnight :) I pick iTunes because you can DOWNLOAD (not just stream) the episode in 1080p resolution. But some people don't like iTunes because it's only available on certain platforms and devices. You have to make the choice that is right for your viewing habits. |

Wait, I can use my PC for this of course, right? lol |
Sometimes I come off like i'm pimping iTunes, I don't want to seem that way. I think it works perfectly for my needs, that's all.
Like I said, if you prefer amazon video, you can get it there. I don't know the full list of companies that sell the episodes/seasons digitally. So you might want to research that on your own. If you are in Japan there may be japan-specific sites that sell them. I really don't know. You asked about if you can use your PC: of course. In the case of iTunes purchases they will work on Mac, Windows, iOS devices, Apple TV... If you go with amazon you can use Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, Kindle tablets... etc. |
well it's a little complicated.
iTunes divides each Season of TMNT into TWO seasons. So the Season 1 and 2 on iTunes are actually "Season 1 part 1" and "Season 1 part 2" It's less confusing than it sounds. So the current iTunes Season is Season 4 (aka Season 2 part 2... yes we are near the end of season 2 as you said) If you purchase a season pass you get access to all the past episodes as well as future. So purchasing a season pass near the end of a season isn't necessarily a bad idea... if you have any intention of re-watching the episodes down the line. You can purchase on a per-episode basis as well but I have no guarantee that it will go live at the same time it does for Season Pass holders or not. Also I don't know how region locking and iTunes work and if you'd have any problems watching them in Japan. |

The Wrath of Tiger Claw
Spoilers for the episode to follow. Do you hate spoilers? Well why are you in this thread then. Karai still has a lot of questions and reservations about Splinter. Tiger Claw had one heck of an epic adventure to return to Earth! Loved the cutscene. That's right, BIGGS IS BACK! Leo wins the pizza gyoza challenge :) awesome. Mikey... don't talk with your mouth full! Uh-oh... Mikey forgot the leftovers. Huge emergency. "We have to get to April! ... And Casey, you know, time permitting!" April, Casey and Irma going to the movies together, cool. Dang, anytime April wields her fan it just looks awesome. Mikey moonwalking on the ice. Oh no Karai... T__T y u do this "Why'd you have to bring Irma again... she's so nasty" LOL WHAT Tiger Claw/Turtles/Karai in the meat plant fight was among the very best they have done! CLIFFHANGER Awesome ep guys!! I love the more plot-driven episodes like this. It's where the series really shines. I thought the lair had been discovered for a bit, I thought "ohhhh so here is where the turtles are forced to leave the sewers!" But I guess not. At least not yet. I gotta give it a 9/10 |
*Cries* I can't watch it and it sounds like such a good ep! I got the ep. I decided to get the season pass but I chose "download later" so I can go straight to the Tiger Claw ep. When i tried to download it, I got an error message saying, "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 53 days". I have no idea why I'm even receiving such a message.
I want to see Irma, April, and Casey hanging together and I really am interested in everything dealing with Karai! Has Irma encountered the Turtles yet? |
The Army of the Kraang..... Whoa.... :teek:
http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/...psc6568fa4.png Triceratons piloting those machines!... and... The creature behind Tiger Claw... http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0ba02982.png When I first saw him I did a double take... I thought I saw Leatherhead... Wow... This is a lot to take in..... Also, did anyone else notice in this episode Casey's T-Phone got a remodel? In "The Manhattan Project" it looked liked the others, and now it looks like an orange iPhone running Donnie's software... Interesting... and Mikey's shell getting knocked loose... Ouch... as well as that final kitchen battle with the saw and grinder... many intense moments in this episode that made it really great. |
I loved it!!! XD finally an episode I like alot!
Spoiler:
|
Itold Karai the truth and now she is my prisoner!! HAAHAHAHAHAAHAH:D:D Trciceratons are working for Kraang. That seems simialr to IDW where we learn that utroms created them. That creauture behing tiger claw who could be?
|
Nice! I've really enjoyed this one, IMHO far far better than a couple of episodes before this short hiatus we had after 18th May.
Spoiler:
Good to see Tiger Claw back, he's really worthy enemy for the turtles. And finally, the major twist with Splinter's daughter has begun. This month seems to be really interesting. Can't wait for the 15th and 29th June! Spoiler:
|
Loved it, such an awesome start to an already promising week!
Spoiler:
Great stuff, 9/10. Awesome return after that short break! |
Oh My God, Oh My God, the episode was amazing it was epic i'm so hyped up that I need to calm down.
|
Okay, I was finally able to watch it. I decided to just go to Amazon for now.
Spoiler:
Okay, I'll shut up now. Now I must go nuts until the next ep. lol |
Just watched it. It was aaaaaaaawesome!! Have to go to a kids birthday in half an hour, so I'll be back later. That last fight scene.....damn :teek:
|
I'm going to watch it again. lol My work be darned. I have a lesson plan due by tomorrow and some essays to grade that's due by Tuesday. Oh well. lol
I just hope the series continues improving Mikey and have him eventually get taken seriously by the others. If it hadn't have been for Mikey, they would've never known about Tigerclaw being after them, wouldn't have found Casey, and wouldn't have fought in the meat packing place. Please show, continue with this side of Mikey. He's not annoying or bothersome when he's like this. |
This is one of those episodes that not only lives up to the hype, it surpasses it.
It addressed so many issues people have had with the show for a while now. Mikey was taken seriously. Karai was proven to not just be a love interest. She had a full range of emotions, she fought convincingly as her own warrior, not just a female trying to fight 'like a man'. She was someone that a little girl could look up to. I'm no feminist, but that was refreshing and enjoyable for me. And I think a lot of women/girl fans will like it for that same reason. The fight scenes were absolutely epic. Plus I like how they reused a lot of old locations, but mixed them with different props/camera angles to make them seem brand new? |

Fun fact: The episode takes place on Tuesday 19th May, you can see it on Kirby's phone when he rings April.
The last time 19th May fell on a Tuesday was 2009. :tcool: |
Probably yes. And if you mean "noticed and mentioned about it" - there is also positive answer :)
Player hint*: Spoiler:
*Who remember, from which old Sierra's game this phrase was? :) |
THIS EPISODE WAS AMAZING!!! :D
That final battle with the Turtles and Tiger Claw was just brilliant. Love how every character played a role in this and Karai is now one of my favourite characters! Tiger Claw is a f#cking BADASS, he took on the entire DIMENSION! |

As Leo sensed, there was good in her, and that made things interesting for me. She did seem to genuinely want to be friends with Leo until she felt betrayed by them. I dunno, like I said, I just found her interesting in general given her background and that she could fight well was an added bonus. I'm surprised people actually felt the way you described about her character. |
Just saw the episode and just I thought...

To me this is how it came off: http://i615.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps47fdad06.png Translation: Oh crap...people saw them. But it didn't matter to me, I knew it was coming and the episode was still awesome, it didn't kill the suspense for me at all. |
Did anybody see the sketch where Tiger Claw fought the Original Turtles.

On one of the flashback picture scenes of Dimension X, it looks like that there is a Triceraton standing on and guiding a large creature that is charging into the center of the group. Just wanted to point that out ;) And oh yeah, this episode was AWESOME! :D |

Did the scene at the meat factory with all the grinders remind anyone else of Mortal Kombat? Its scenes like those that remind you the hinted darkness of the series.
Imagine if Karai got splattered Mortal Kombat style? Great episode. |
Wow, this was an amazing, episode, it was brilliant. Loved the Tiger Claw vs Casey fight and the final fight with the Turtles was amazing. Mikey was brilliant in this episode he had some great ideas, he's not dumb all the time. Tiger Claw was such a badass he seems to be going insane.
Amazing moments Loved how they showed in a flashback on how Tiger Claw returns. 80s turtles cameo (did Tiger Claw destroy them).:teek: Return of Murakami, was wondering when he was coming back. Poor Murakami getting attacked again. Poor Irma getting dumped again (at first I thought she was going to get involved but no she didn't, are Nick teasing us). Kirby's back, love the photo on his phone and the date says May 19th. Tiger Claw vs Casey was epic, poor Casey got thrown off the roof, Ouch! Mikey dancing on the ice was funny, then he did the Moonwalk - MICHAEL JACKSON reference.:D Mikey having a great idea in tracking Casey. Karai wanting to talk to April about she now believes Splinter is her father, was skeptical about this. Leo taking Karai back to the lair, bit of a stupid move by Leo. Karai pressing the tracking device - I actually shouted out, Karai you bitch, WTF you done!:x Karai finally knows the truth and knows that pressing tracking device was a big mistake and knows that she has to lead him away. Love the emotion in Karai's voice, Kelly Hu did an awsome job. Mikey having another great idea, leading Tiger Claw to the meat locker. The turtles in stealth mode, attacking Tiger Claw was epic and loved how it was so quiet which made it intence moment. The final fight was epic and badass and with the saw turned on it made more intence. Karai saving the turtles lives by fighting Tiger Claw was great and wow her head was so close to that saw. Poor Mikey, he looked hurt bad, Raph holding him was adorable. Raph still not trusting Karai. Shredder finding out that Karai was helping the turtles and put's her in a prison, (where have I seen this before, oh yeah! the "Fake Storyboards". Shredder is such a bastard. I loved that the episode ended on a cliffhanger, I can't wait till the next episode, i'm glad that Pizza Face was aired before this episode. I hope IGN gives the episode over 9.0 if it's under then i've going to find Max and spank him. |

I'm glad we saw Kirby again for the first time since being back to normal. Also interesting how beat up Mikey and Casey were.
I actually wish we saw more of the scene where Tiger Claw breaks out of the worm and fights the 80's Turtles. |
Awesome episode. I hope this isn't the only episode that Yost works on.
The only bad thing is I really think Karai is going to be mutated now. Ugh. |
