New Ep Discussion: Modern Love- The Return of Nano
 
Hello friends! :D

Once again I come to you with a teaser for the next upcoming cartoon ep!
No clipshow here, Buddy!

The lovable child-like killer toaster NANO is back in business! My guess is some of the lil nanobots managed to avoid 'the big baby food jar of rusty screws in the sky' and took some time to build itself back together.

Oh, dont you love these eps when it talks about a father and his children? Yes, I'm a sappy person. :D Well, Nano goes and helps his crooked father out of jail, and goes on another rampaging adventure.

I honestly cant think of any real good jokes or references to any other shows/movies/whatnot, so I guess my fellow mods will have to help me out on that one... :goofygri:

*techie appears*

Mmm... yes, that's the troublewith robots now-a-days. They are build like a Timex... they can take a licking, but still keep on ticking! :goof:





*decides to leave, before she resorts to using even geekier TF humor*

For once... I'm at a loss for words. :goofygri:

But the next episode should be fun. I hope Nano goes on a giant rampage. :evilgrin:

Awesome episode! One of my favorites from season 2 so far. I loved the first Nano episode and I loved this one even more. It had lots of Casey, and lots of Casey and April moments. What else can anybody ask for? :wink:

jeff the cheff 02-21-2004 10:05 AM

It was pretty good, I think I liked the first nano episode better though.

Meira-Bates 02-21-2004 10:05 AM

Well I know I'm never gonna hear the end of it now. Even though April nearly kissed Casey on the lips, people are going to be teasing me with the whole cheek kiss deal. *fist shakes* Anyway I liked the episode, but I was hoping they'd be able to save Nano. Ah well, this looks like on original character that might be done with. Who knows...with someone like Don around? X.x

I have to say my favoirte part was when the guys are asking about what April and Casey are doing.

Leo: So...where are you taking /our/ April?
Splinter: And when will you have her back? (or something like that)

hehe if this didn't make the sister thing apparent I dunno what does.

jestergoblin 02-21-2004 10:06 AM

It was an interesting episode... I felt the best parts were the allusion to the City at War and Don working on underwater tunnels for the shell sub. It was also kinda odd that they solved the problem by not fighting for once.

Still, Casey has been putting the moves on April, I didn't expect their relationship to go this fast.

Oh yeah, now we know how April starts her store back up later on. Kudos to the writers once again.

Taloniss 02-21-2004 10:13 AM

Decent episode, all though nothing specatcular. The April/Casey stuff was nice too, good to see them developing their relationship. Looking forward to next weeks episode, Croc owns.

Anyone else notice the TV report on the gang stuff? With the graphic "City at War." Nice foresahdowing.

Machias Banshee 02-21-2004 10:14 AM

:lol: Lol, we got some messed up mods here... :goof:

Well, this was a pretty good episode..

Why of all things that April does, WHY walk around in that bathrobe and green mud mask?!

April and Casey are getting cuter... "Its not a date!" Riiiight... ;)

I love seeing family stuff on this show, so this was really good for me. Seeing the lil nano child become this giant beast is always fun too.. :evilgrin:

Thank you Don...! you satisfied my Splinter addiction with talking about him being a good father to you guys... :D

Speaking of, Did anyone see Splinter watching stuff about a city at war?!

Lol! I loved the flowers(er, stems and leaves) casey gave april. Looks like something i'd end up getting. But I gotta say, that lead in to the kiss was kinda rushed.. ;)

And I have to say this...

DONNIE WAS ADORABLE!

I'm Really liking Don more and more in this. He was rocking back on his heels like a lil kid, I think even Pouting that April wouldnt visit them anymore. The grin on his face when April kissed him was great! Casey jealous..? Naaaah... :evilgrin:

I think Don's getting sweet on April. Seeing her with casey...I dont think Any of them like that, but Don really liked having her live with them, since she was such a techno-geek like himself. I'm waiting to see him give her a boquet of fiber optics or something... ;) :D

All in all.... 7 out of ten... :)

rayfillet101 02-21-2004 10:15 AM

Awsome episode. I was just reading JWs topic abot april and donnie yesterday and this made me laugh! Expecially Caseys jelousy. I like the lead ons. Next week is Return to the underground rite? Does anyone have comparison pictures for the scientist? She looked different in this episode!

Meeko 02-21-2004 10:17 AM

Ya splinter was watching the news ( i think ) about the city at war it advised people to stay of the streets Anywhay good ep I want a figure of the new nanobot look 2

Stone Ill 02-21-2004 10:21 AM

Generic New Episode Post!

Stefano 02-21-2004 10:22 AM

hahahahha. Next episode is with leatherhead. Did you guys see donny work on the helicotpter. He managed to turn it green. I liked seeing the video on how a family should act, because we watch those in mythology and its so funny.

ThirdMarioBro 02-21-2004 10:29 AM

"Hey! That little green nerd stole my date!"

HAHAHA :lol: :lol: :lol: LOLOLOL

This episode was a riot!

Family stuff is always fun.

Bry 02-21-2004 10:32 AM

Not a bad episode, but not a great one either. I wasn't really anticipating Nano's return, but I was suitably entertained...

The Good
- April in the blue coveralls from her first Mirage appearance!
- The return of the Eastman & Laird Cops!
- Foreshadowing to the City at War storyline!

The Goofy
- Hardened cons playing poker for candy bars? :lol:
- Mikey's jet-powered hoverboard came across as kinda silly (and was he trying to take everyone's heads off!?)
- Donny's cutesy crush at the end almost made my teeth hurt. ;)


Bring on Leatherhead!!!

:lol: I swear, if they had a shotgun down in the lair, one of the guys woulda been busy polishing it when Casey came down... :evilgrin:

TMNTFanCrys 02-21-2004 10:44 AM

Here are my thoughts about the episode...
 
I thought this was an okay sequel. I felt a tad bad for Nano, I mean, all he did want was a family, you know. But when you have a giant robot going on a rampage (I guess he was kind of doing that) then you can't really have that going on.

I personally, thought that Mikey's new hoverboard is awesome. I mean, he seems to be a natural pro with skateboards, so something like that could become handy in the future. And also, Don working ways into the river, I think that's a smart idea...

The ending, I thought Donny was so adorable. He seems like he really does have a little thing for April, and he seemed to like that little smooch on the cheek. And I do think that Casey may, perhaps, be a tad jealous. Maybe something more will happen between those three? Who knows, I just feel like in all Turtle verses, April always has "something" personal, like this, going on with Don. Maybe it's just me? But what does everyone think...do you think more may become of the three...or will April just stick with Casey, cause those two seem to be getting closer as well.

Also, can't wait for the Leatherhead episode...looks sweet! C ya laters! And to the people down south, who may be coming to Louisiana, Happy Mardi Gras!

Jo Dawn 02-21-2004 10:46 AM

I liked it. I thought Don was great (as usual) in this. But then again, I always think so. :wink:

Don was getting... dare I say... PATERNAL in this episode?! With the whole wanting to save Nano and give it a better life. I loved it.

I also loved that whole bit.

I thought the 'almost kiss' was really quick also.

I know. I loved it! Nearly melted off my seat with Don's whole 'We won't see you as much...' spiel.

Yeah, I kinda like that added bit of... friction. I think he's kinda liked her for awhile. But it's more obvious here. I think it adds a lot more emotion. Brings another dimension to the whole thing.

Donnie "stealing" April from Casey at that one part. Hehe, I loved that!

Great episode. :D

Splinter 02-21-2004 10:57 AM

Great episode. Much better then the first Nano episode. Especially the focus on family. And the setting up for both Leatherhead's episode and the return of Garbageman. I know that Casey and April are going to hook up. It wouldn't be TMNT without those two. But I really was hoping that it would be Donny and April. They're just soooooo cute together. :)

I think the Nano storyline is sad. He's just a kid, who wants a family. That touches you, at least me. He was a big "kid" and because of this, his temper tantrum was causing too much destruction. You kinda feel bad when they need to stop him. They'd wanted to help him so bad...

You're not the only one who thinks that. I've always thought, in different turtle universes, Don has had a thing for April.

But, ultimately, I know she's going to end up with Casey. But that doesn't make the whole situation less interesting or emotion-filled. Like I said in my last post, I think that added tension is very much interesting. :) It's very... real life and emotional.

And, anyone who's read my fanfics know I like that Casey/April/Don tension! :wink:

Ack... I'm gonna get all sappy now... don't get me started...

Agreed. :D

rayfillet101 02-21-2004 10:59 AM

How is it setting up for the Leatherhead episode?

Stone Ill 02-21-2004 11:06 AM

It's not.

I thought this was a cool ep too. A Donnie ep! :D

Nano started to remind me of that one Batman:TAS ep, where this pyschotic child actor star kidnaps all his old TV family members, and forces them to live like the happy family they portrayed for the show. Poor Nano.

Would have been totally interesting if Don did try to talk sense into Nano, before having to deactivate him. But that roller coaster theory was clever anyway. *wonder if he tried to save a few nanobots to study later*

And... April and Donny, so cute! :lol: Yep, I think Casey already is jealous. But surely, i think April and Don would just be friends, were April and Casey would be more romantic.

Demonfox38 02-21-2004 11:19 AM

Mmkay, that little bit where the Nanobot was forcing his "parents" to like each other? Freaked me out!

Also, the bit with the Rocket Skateboard? LOL!!

I give the writers a shiny sticker for all the Casey/April jokes. :evilgrin: Bad Donnie, stealing Casey's date!

Or not . . :lol:

The episode was okay, but I'm anticipating ol' Leatherhead just a little bit more.

The scuba gear, and exploring the waterways that lead out to the river. Which looking at the previews for next week's episode, is just how they end up encountering Leatherhead. :)

rayfillet101 02-21-2004 11:48 AM

O i never catch teh previews, would it be so hard for them to play them at the end of the episode?

Jo Dawn 02-21-2004 11:50 AM

I rarely catch them either. I'm thinking they want you to keep watching the other FoxBox shows to see the previews. Makes you keep watching. I guess.

God, I hope not. The new series does not need a love triangle episode. Anybody remember "Green With Jealousy" from the old toon?

Cascadia 02-21-2004 12:10 PM

the beginning was funny....Mikey on his new toy. :lol:

PanMan 02-21-2004 12:16 PM

meh, the ep was ok. the only parts i liked were the parts not pertaining to the nanobot. i just don't like giants, especially giant robots.

anyways, next week is leatherhead. i didn't see the preview, but maybe we will get a hint as to shredder's fate? one theory is that leatherhead saved him. i doubt that's what happened, but hopefully we'll get a reason as to why he was going into the TCRI building . . .

He wasn't going into the TCRI building, he was leaveing it. He was a "pet" of the Utroms.(if it goes by the comics)

Roseangelo 02-21-2004 01:01 PM

Great episode!! I definately like all the family stuff they've been including lately. The April/Casey stuff is sooooo cute. Poor Donnie, though .. heehee.

That house Nano built for "Daddy" and "Mom" was veryvery creepy.

And Mikey on his new board was cuuute!

Looks like Mikey gets to see lots of action next week! WoohoO!

Jephael 02-21-2004 01:28 PM

You had to feel sorry for that creature. Like Leonardo said, all he wanted was a family, and he was already convinced that his "mommy" and "daddy" were the ones for him. With the whole episode focusing on April and Casey's relationship, I was kinda hoping they would step in and try to reason with Nano, and talk him into letting them be his surrogate parents.

TalonMC 02-21-2004 01:43 PM

I liked this episode, just as I liked the first Nano ep. It's a different kind of story... Things don't always have a happy ending.

This show had some great lines, many of which have already been mentioned. But I'd like to bring up this one from Don...

"Imagine if Splinter had been evil... We might be crooks instead of who we are."

Ok all you fanfic writers out there... Ready, Set, Go! :P

-MC

CoolWhip 02-21-2004 01:50 PM

I liked this one a little more than the original nano episode.

this time around nano had way cooler forms as well.

The April/Casey moments were nice :tlove:

really? i thought he was going into the tcri building . . . although it would make more sense if he was leaving it. i'll have to take another look at that.
