OFFICIAL NEW FF EPISODE DISCUSSION: "Playtime's Over"
 

According to zap2it.com, the following will premiere next Saturday, 7Oct06. Marvel at how concise the description is. :roll: :

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward
Playtime's Over
Mikey is excited when a video game sequel is released; the Turtles need a guide to navigate the mall. CC Stereo

...So....they get lost in the mall?

wow
that sounds

exciting

-.-

LAME @$$

For some reason, that description cracked me up.

OMFG Dead Rising'd

Goodness freakin' gracious! Is "jumped the shark" the proper phrase for this show?

... Serling?

wow. haven't even seen the episode yet and people are already spoutin the hate. :ohwell:

If you head over to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ard:_2006-2007, you'll see that this episode seems to be a filler before the main event like we've seen in countless TMNT seasons. This information was also posted in the 'Headlock Prime' thread, but it really should get people 'back' into the series. I won't give anything away but...this could be good.

Next week sounds lame. It's a battle with Jammerhead though. Still sounds kind of lame. They get lost in the mall!? What the shell is up with that!?

*Looks at what the episode after next week is about* Oh my gosh! Yes! Oh yeah! I can't wait for this episode!

I don't buy the descriptions for the episodes. They were made before final production, and as you could highly tell from headlock prime, they couldn't be farther from the truth. "Raphael joins a wrestling tournament..." I don't remember in any part of that episode where it was a tournament that you could join. It's utter shite.

However, I did make comment about next week's episode... I CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT!!!

Wow, the one FF episode i think I actually will watch.

ep after sounds awesome, who is jammerhead?

Jammerhead is the leader of those guys from "Future Shellshock", the guy Mikey called butt ugly. The same guys that tried to capture Mikey, and they could go 'ghostal' on people.

Indeed, I may not tape this episode and wait for the next week, due to the fact that it has
*faints*

Me too...

I doubt it'll be that cool.

Granted, I'll reserve full judgement for when I see it (if I can force myself to)... But I seriously felt like crying when I saw this preview.

How can it be that they are happy putting this on the air? This is going to be what people remember of the TMNT's run. Are they proud of this? I really want to know... if this is how they want to be remembered, and not the intense, witty, dark beginning that was 2K3?

I'm typing as I watch...

So, it's been said to reserve judgement on this show until it actually 'starts' (though it started a good month or so ago... but whatever).

I agreed to give it a chance now that it's... 'started'.


This. Show. Sucks.

The jokes are forced and unfunny for even kids.

Jammerhead is a poor, POOR version of the 'Midnight Bomber what bombs at midnight' from The Tick.

What is that robe Raph is wearing?

Even if this show IS more for kids, what is the lesson here? Let's unfairly use our abilities to get ahead? When Mike cut in line, I was flabbergasted.

The characters are SO out of character, it boggles my mind. And I READ FANFICTION!!

Mike stole a car? Where's the talking to from Leo? Don? ANY of them??

That freakin' awful 'Ninja Time' wears on my nerves. Cody is such a liability, we're getting into the 'Damsel in Distress' mode that old April was. Actually, even worse.

Ok, I laughed once. When Don told Cody to 'jump' from the horribly named 'Turtle-X'... Because all I could think was 'Yes! Please! Off the chasm, please!'

I agree with Sterling. I don't like them, either.


Even with this awful 'jump the shark' manuever, there could have been some good storylines in there. But it seems they have opted to not do any of them, and take some easy way out. No emotions, out of character... it makes me sad that THIS is what they deem worthy of the TMNT. After those years of 2K3... this is what people will rmember from the show.

How completely saddening. I cannot fathom how they are proud of this; I'd love to know. We are missing everything that made the 2K3 series good. This is an embarassment.

Well, since knowing that Ninja Tribunal puts an end to some of the old storylines, I'm living up to my word in that I will give FF a chance.

Seeing as how Bishop is still around, he was probably one of the best bad guys the turtles ever faced, IMO. I remember thinking the start of the 2k3 series was kind of weak, but it picked up after all the fillers.

I think it's just history repeating itself, or want to believe that. I'm going to continue to watch, cause I feel the best is yet to come, again, after the fillers play out, like they did at the start of the 2k3 series.

-X-

The first season may be disliked now for some befuddling reason, but there were more fillers in season two than that one.

I cannot fathom how people thought the first season was weak. I stopped watching for a bit after all that time travel in 2 or 3 (not sure which). That stuff at the beginning was good, though.

And another thought... this week's ep... Mike STILL gets the game?! Whatever.
He didn't deserve it. What happened to Leo's discipline, by the way?

It's SO missing something... this series.


EDIT - By the way, the opening to that is cool, Zarius. Just goes to show that a 'kid's show' CAN be darker and have themes other than brightly colored characters with no personalities and bad senses of humor. Anyone who says a kid's show can't have edier themes is full of crap, and is just covering their butts because they've failed.
