Live reporting from Walmart!
 
I'm heading to a walmart thats showing the new episode. I'll post my thoughts here and keep everyone updated, in spoiler tags of course. I made a new thread becuase I didn't want to hinder the discussion in the official thread.

Aaronardo 09-27-2014 08:52 AM
Wha... where did you hear about this?!

Check the official thread. Certain Walmarts are airing the first episode early. I forget the website name for it.

Sabacooza 09-27-2014 10:54 AM
It says "sneak preview". Doesn't sound like the full episode to me but I could be wrong.

The language on their site makes it seem like it is

Saw the sneak peek wording on the facebook page so who knows? I guess we'll find out after 2.

Warhorse 09-27-2014 11:59 AM
This is just so weird. Everyone gathering at a freaking grocery store to watch a freaking cartoon episode. What in the hell have we become????????:lol: Eh, I guess it's no less weird than when people would gather around the TV sets to watch a sport.

I still have trouble thinking of Wal-Mart as a grocery store. Maybe part of it's because I hadn't set foot in one in like 10 years (to buy TMNT 2003 figures oddly) and when I finally did again last year I was like "wait... they sell groceries?"

But yeah it does seem like an incredibly odd place to première an episode. Especially since, if there's a bunch of kids there, nobody's likely to be able to hear anything regardless.

Sabacooza 09-27-2014 12:10 PM
Not a bad strategy. Kids can bug their parents to buy the toys after seeing the premiere. Just adds to more toy sales.

Storm Eagle 09-27-2014 12:11 PM
I went to Wal-Mart earlier this week and heard the promo about it on the TVs they had on display. There's no way I'm going to Wal-Mart just to watch an episode though, even if it is an opportunity to see it before it airs on TV.

...a valid point, actually.

sluggedup226 09-27-2014 01:13 PM
They only shown the first 10 mins of the episode

snake 09-27-2014 01:17 PM
SPOILERS AHEAD
It was a short preview. It opens up with April explaining the state of the team and then Leo wakes up. His voice is changed becuase Shredder crushed it throat. Donnie feeds him mutagen medicne and he goes out to train and then pukes up the medicne. It sinks into the ground and two glowing eyes appear.


Leo's vomit created the Creep.

Ninjinister 09-27-2014 01:28 PM
Why would Don make mutagen meds in the first place?

I'll follow up on this with a more in depth spoiler.

Spoiler:
As Snake said, the paid homage to the 1990 movie and April narrates the whole opening intro on their defeat and explains what everyone has done in the time leading up. She has a journal with her that she draws in, it appears Ciro still wanted her to have that talent for art. ;)

Leo is unmasked the whole time, it's our first look at unmasked Leo.

Donnie's lab as most expected is one of the side barns.

Mikey according to April's narrative still goofs off but does a lot of the chores...but mostly goofs off (But he gives a line from Splinter during their troubling times and appears to have matured even more since the finale.

Raph stays by Leo's side the whole time he rests in the upstairs tub.

Donnie and Casey still appear to be at each other as they get a little rough with each other during a training session, but act buddy buddy when April confronts them.

We did see the new anime show based from 1981, and it is...Conguar the Barbarian (Based off Thundar the Barbarian)

Raph is very upset about Leo's condition and that Splinter is gone and that they have to live where they are, to no one's surprise. But Leo does awaken in the opening act snapping him out of it for the time being. And from what is said, Leo has been out for 3 MONTHS.

They do in fact explain Leo's voice change as Donnie states that Leo's throat is badly damaged as are his lungs. Leo's voice starts out very raspy and Donnie gives him the mutagen diluted medicine to build back up Leo's immune system.

Raph makes Leo go on a hike with him to help get Leo back on his feet, but Leo is very down and believes he'll never get better. Raph gets upset and says "That's not the Leo I know! Now come on!"

Leo then gets sick as he appears to have overdosed on the mutagen medicine Donnie gave him based on his increased depression and belief that he'll never recover makes him keep drinking the medicine until he suddenly becomes nauseous. Throws up on the ground, Raph takes Leo back to the farm, and the mutagen in the medicine created The Creep after they leave, but that's where the clip ends.

Mellie 09-27-2014 01:45 PM
Wow, I never expected The Creep was.. that. It sounds so good! So pumped to see it now.

Thank you for the reports!

Xiewin 09-27-2014 01:48 PM
Now I'm getting kind of desperate.
I can't wait for this episode!!

Leofan26 09-27-2014 01:56 PM
Spoiler:
WTF? I know Donnie's heart was in the right place but sounds messed up. Poor Leo, didn't expect Leo to get that much damage from Shredder's attack, in the 2003 series I don't think his voice was messed up like that. I like that Raph is the one trying to snap Leo out of his depression, I feel like crying hearing him in that state :(

Don't like the fact that it's Leo's vomit that causes the mess, so gross :x

What's with adding tension between Donnie and Casey? He should be thinking more about Leo's condition than jealousy :(

UGH! I miss 2003 Donnie, he'd be more concerned about Leo than this April x Casey mess.

Oh well, sounds pretty cool. Wonder how Leo will snap out of it? Hey'll probaly go into beast mode next :D

Megchan 09-27-2014 01:57 PM
Glad to hear that they actual address Leo's voice changing.

Vicky82 09-27-2014 01:59 PM
Found some pics on Tumblr

It seems like they pull a doctor who. I guess they thought the voice would be too noticeable for the kids.

Zulithe 09-27-2014 02:02 PM
Wow they worked Leo's voice change into the plot! I love that so much. Great choice on their end... As long as Seth doesn't leave and they are forced to change it again, haha.

Warhorse 09-27-2014 02:12 PM
OK, trying to avoid spoilers. Got back from wallyworld. Uh, I saw like a matter of seconds of the show, and there was only one teenage girl there. Sad thing, they had the thing on mute, so she asked if the guy could turn it up, and he just said there was nothing he could do, so she just shrugged her shoulders and left. I saw just a bit, right before the opening credits. But like I said, I really don't want to be spoiled, in a grocery store of all places. So, got my PC cleaning equipment and got the hell out.

From how they explain it, because Leo's lungs and throat are as Donnie put it, "Badly damaged", so in theory as they appeared to put it, the small traces of mutagen in the medicine will help heal his throat and respiratory system.

As far as tension between Donnie and Casey, Donnie's tension is clearly because of Leo's condition and as of the clip actually had very little to do with April for the time being. Even the first bit when they put Leo in the tub to allow him to heal, Donnie had a pitiful look on his face and actually got up and left the rest of them, basically meaning he can't stand to see Leo in that state for he still feels he caused it. It looks as if Casey is just an easy way for Don to vent that pain. For example, April's narration of Donnie while in his "lab", they did it just like in the 1990 movie where Casey and Donnie were working, Casey on an old truck while and Donnie working on Leo's medicine. When Donnie messed up making the medicine, Casey busted out laughing at him making Donnie upset. But Casey then turned right around and had the truck he was working on fall on top him, which Donnie then returned the favor busted out laughing at him. So by the looks of things, it had very to do with April persay, however April confronted them during their sparring believing it was about her.

Your last bit...don't know yet. :D

Good to know, I don't want any of it to due with the love triangle. Love the idea of it being over Leo's situation :D

Rukitron 09-27-2014 02:31 PM
at least Leo didn't end up like Bumblebee in Prime/movies :V

I don't mind this explanation. But wow the Creep truly is creepy...

JTH 09-27-2014 02:38 PM

They actually made a slight joke out of it, while Donnie was checking on Leo's breathing with the gang around him, saying that "...his voice may stay like this...but it's too soon to tell."

I admit I snickered at that line.

Aprils relavtives seemed to be absent.

We haven't seen any of April's relatives except for her father, and nothing of Casey's, so why would we expect to see relatives now?

April explained in the invasion it was her old family home, and that no one was around for miles. It's not a relatives home, it's empty

Oh, so that's what he meant. OK, now I know why I was confused. The second she said her place was an old family home, I took it right away that it was just a vacation spot and that it would be vacant to begin with.
