Official Episode Discussion S4 Ep 25: Requiem
 

And now we have reached the first of the two penultimate episodes of this season, Requiem.

In this episode, we see the final battle between Shredder and Splinter. When these two ninja titans clash only one side shall weep bitter tears and the other side will prevail, but who will it be?

It's now up on I Tunes.

Watched. The english dubbing is unbeatable. Da*n
What an episode to just be the first part of the season finale
:(:(

Love it Korean and love it in English. What are dark sad episode.

I kept it together pretty well 'till Mikey called Splinter "Papa" :cry:

Wow it's actually up on Xbox. I think this is the first time it's been up this early since I've been watching it on here.

O_O Wow! That was intense. I'll be back later to compose my thoughts better and rewatch it.

I saw what happened to Rahzar but what happened to Fishface? It's like he disappeared.

In addition to the obvious heaviness of the episode.. I can't believe they actually made a Carter reference.

This one episode redeemed the entire series for me.

:cry::tcry:

That was so sad, it felt like my heart was ripped out and put in a blender.

I said it after watching the Korean version and I say again

'I HATE BEING RIGHT'

This is for anyone who disagreed with me over 'Splinter dies permanently' for the past year

So I can finally use this gif now

Holy!!! Those flash backs and the slow motion just made me lose it. I sobbed... again... at a cartoon.
My overall favourite episode of the whole of tmnt franchise, hands down.

Also Vicky does your post about who dies have to be under spoilers? or do people have to know the risk when entering an episode discussion thread?

No because it's a episode discussion thread that will contain heavy spoilers, so if someone comes in here and hadn't seen the episode yet and sees spoilers, it's there fault.

Oki just making sure.

Also anyone else notice the reference from the first movie when Shredder got thrown into the garbage truck by Splinter and Casey turned it on, just like in this episode, but here April threw him in it and Casey turned it on. I can not wait for the next episode! Why did they not air them together?! Ughh

Hats off to Seth Green, Hoon Lee and Kevin Michael Richardson. Outstanding performances!

(Dishonourable mention to the voice direction on Josh Peck's "oops" - just did NOT fit the context of that scene.)

The "Oops" is a nod to the original live action film, MrTMNT2012. I was squeeing like a fangirl as soon as I saw Casey with the garbage truck! :D

Thank you, I was very well aware of that! :tsmile:

I was specifically commenting on the way Casey Jones said it. The inflection in his voice came across way WAY too 'loud' during a very quiet and somber scenario.

A more subtle performance would have been better/more appropriate.

I love all of the callbacks to the earlier seasons.

?? But then it wouldn't have been a nod to the way it was delivered in the original film!

I genuinely don't understand this...

That's fine, I don't understand you either! ;)

Either they leave the shout out to the original film intact, or don't put it in at all. Having a sombre "Oops" would have just been beyond weird!
