Official Ep Discussion: S3 Ep4 "The Croaking"
 

Okay, so we've got a new episode tomorrow night. Looks like it's time for Mike to show he's not a total screw up again. Plus we have a visit from some revamped characters of the OT series.

I don't have further at this point, cuz 1. it's late and 2. I don't have a link to the preview clip. Since I will not be on here tomorrow, I won't be able to unlock this.

PLEASE DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD UNTIL AFTER THE SHOW HAS AIRED.

Okay. :tlol: :trazz:

Love the fact that one of the police sketchs of the creatures who attcked the campsites looked like a bayturtle.

Also do the frogs predate the turtles coming to the farm? Or are they just really advanced.

We have
Atilla The Frog
Gengis Frog
Rasputin
and Napoleon Bona Frog

I thought this was the best episode of Season 3 yet! I absolutely love what they did with the Punk Frogs, making them all distinguishable from each other with unique personalities and designs. I also like that they had an army of them.

Michelangelo was really well written in this episode too, as was everyone else for that matter. No Don/Casey fighting over April, no Mikey being too stupid, etc.

I also lol'd at the nod of the 2014 movie Turtle design.

Okay episode. Speed Demon turns out to be a mutant instead of somthing interesting like an actual demon.

I liked this episode alot I hope I they make figures for all 4 frogs

I was so stoked when I realized that was Maurice "The Brain" Lamarce as Rasputin!!! I think Clancy Brown (who regularly plays Bradford/Dog Pound/Rahzar) was the voice of Genghis, though I can't be certain. Over all, awesome episode!!!! The references to Napoleon Dynamite were awesome!!!

Baahahahah! Ok, that was refreshingly amusing after the scary themed ones. Interesting take on the frogs. Good on April for calling them out.

Anyone have the image from Donnie's computer? I can't be the only one that saw what I thought I saw (and died laughing). Sure looked like a maskless movie Mikey to me. :lol: What did they say? Green monsters on two legs? Oh snaaaaap.


That car looks... kinda evil. :P

Genghis would be cool to have.

Noticed a possible continuity error with Mikey saying he was 15, shouldn't he be 16 by now? They mentioned the finale of Season 2 being 1 year after the first Kraang invasion.

Oh My God, that was a great episode, lots of feels and funny moments.

Anyone see the pic of 2014 movie turtles on Donnie laptop :lol:

Did April get knocked out when the frog leapt at her like in the promo? Or was she the turtles savior this episode once again?

I noticed that too. Maybe he has a birthday coming up?

Pretty Solid Episode, I felt like Napoleon's was trying a bit too hard to sound like Jon Heder but still good nevertheless. I also liked the action, and that Leonardo isn't on crutches anymore. But what was with that ending?

They saved her.

Speed Demon. It's an upcoming mutant.

Yeah, prob my only "complaint," third season, they could in theory be two years older by now, no one had aged I guess...

I actually enjoyed the comedy of the episode then the story itself.

I had some lol moments, but the overall story didn't do much for me.

Still, I'd watch it again for the humor, cause it definitely had that.

Pretty stupid episode, but it was fun. I enjoyed the humor, definitely a ton of references. My favorite was probably the Marlon Brando ""the horror" gag.

Bummer that Lamarche and Paulsen didn't share any dialogue though.



It was KMR/Shredder, not Clancy.

The preview had me worried, but it turned out to be a great episode. Loved the frogs, loved Mikey. The bayturtle sketch made me laugh :lol:

Not necessarily a continuity error: Casey referred to the invasion from the first season having occurred "last year." We don't know how much time has passed between the first season finale and now. It could still conceivably be within a year that all these events have happened.

No one referenced the fact that April's Mom poured the mutagen or was suprised about the frogs living in the woods?

Ok. I didn't hate the frogs. I really thought I would. Happy to see April call out the guys for ragging on Mikey all the time and I love ICK wrestling. :3

At first I thought it was weird that they didn't address that Leo was off the came entirely. Then there was the scene where he bombed on that frog and it looked like it hurt his leg again.
Maybe Leo's permanantly messed up...

Lol, that was Jon Heder

What do you expect? They're cartoon characters here. Just like Bart and Lisa Simpson, they never age.

It was? I thought it was him, but I wasn't sure if it was actually Heder.

Well the first invasion could have happened late in the year and the second one a few months later

I was right about Mikey wanting to return to New York.

Raph was such a jerk at the begining of this episode, he called Mikey a screw up and threw poor ICK back into the freezer but later it was sweet seeing him hug Mikey.

I'm glad April defended Mikey saying to others that they were jerks.

Bit confused on the age thing here but other than that, I loved this episode

Why would he want to go back to NYC? That place is pretty much hell on earth now, so why?

I know, but they're not normally a continuing storyline, most regular cartoons exist like the Groundhogs Day movie. :P



Still kind of laughing over this episode. Goofy as all get out in some ways, but I'd say it was pretty well a win through multiple parts of it. :D God I hope Bay & Co. know of the reference at some point... a nice friendly little jab at them. lol

It's possible that the first 3 seasons happened within a year.

The first 3 minutes of the episode had me afraid. Mikey running away was rushed and pretty weak, and way too many Napoleon Dynamite refrences came all at once.

Then they met the frog council and it was a great episode from then on out.

Dream Beavers look better than I thought they would. Hope the turtle's dreams give more insight into them than their worst fears did.

To find Splinter maybe? :ohwell:

The turtles think Splinter is dead.

only people already see it just click.


i love this episode and really good 9/10

Because it's his home and has lived there all his life, I bet he misses the place and misses Splinter.

What did everyone love about this episode so much? I found it fun, but it was pretty meh in general. Not as bad as A Foot Too Big, though. It would've been better as a two-parter.

Oh yea. Dream Beaver promo looks awesome. I can't wait for that one. :D

Fine episode. The Mikey development, the 2014 movie reference (seriously, LOL.), Napoleon being a Napoleon Dynamite-esque character, and the fact that the head of the frogs was played by the Godfather were the highlights of this episode. Also, I like that the Turtles are building an army. It'd be sweet to begin the Return to New York with them marching in with all the mutants they met behind them, ready for war.

Seriously, though, the next episode features the Dream Beavers. That's five filler episodes of little-to-no substance in a row (unless you count the third episode, which didn't blatantly start anything, and four if the next episode actually does bring us something). It feels like they're really testing the loyalty of the fans.

All I can say is, this better lead up to something amazing.

'87 one didn't even click with me, laughing too hard over the movie one. Someone get a pic please who is able. lol
