tv.com shows two new episodes coming on feb 3 & 10

episode 1 - graduation day: class of 2105, airing feb 3. there was no information describing this episode. anyone got info to share.

episode 2 - timing is everything, airing on feb 10. it is described as Sh'Okanabo unleashes a time storm on New York, putting the Turtles in the middle of chaos.

Ah... February sweeps...gotta love it.

I wonder if that could be the zombie ep everyone was expecting a while back.

No....the Zombie ep was "The Freaks Come Out At Night"

Really? I thought he had the power to resurrect, according to a Playmates product.

"Graduation Day: the Turtles are excited to learn that they are about to graduate to a more advanced ninja rank... until Splinter tells them that not all of the turtles will be advancing..."


I bet it's Leonardo, that guy is such a SLACKER.

No.. It's gotta be Raph or Mike.

S/he was being faceticious. I hope. :)

Mike has too much damn focus in Fast Foward.

I would prefer it be Don, since he's too busy gushing over the future to train properly. In fact, that would be neat. We rarely have any Don episodes in the show.

Just out of curiosity, where did you find this synopsis, tortuga? I found the TITLE for this ep in the TV/Entertainment section of MSN (I gave up on Yahell AGES ago; since they "upgraded" (heavy, HEAVY sarcasm here) their TV section, you can't find ANYTHING, let ALONE add it to your Calender!), AND in the listings section of my local Fox station (KFSX 27, Springfield, MO), but neither had the synopsis (or rather, they didn't when I checked them the other day. Guess I'll have to tomorrow).

I dunno, maybe. Slacker or not, HE'D be the who EXPECTS TO advance, I think, 'cause HE's the one who takes training so seriously and works at it so much. But you never know.

*sighs* Looks like I'm going to have to swallow my pride, recant a few things that I've said lately, and see if I can't still go out to my sister's on these dates...MAINLY because we don't have cable or anything else at our house right now, and SHE has satelitte. Oh, well................

Ooooooo, I can-NOT WAIT til I get my income tax refund (hopefully!) next month! We're getting the satelitte back if it takes every single cent that I get from it! Being without TV since December royally SUCKS!!!!!

Op.. well I was right....the one who doesn't graduate is Mike. I was told this by someone who found the description at tv.com

This sounds like extra-lame on top of the existing Fast Forward lame.

Seriously. Mike may not be the most dedicated student, but it has never been implied (beyond brotherly teasing) that he's not a good ninja. Grrr.

Not to mention, do you really need another Mikey-centred episode? Don didn't really get one so far in FF and neither did Leo.

Wait, isn't Mikey doing really good in FF? I mean, he trained against Leo and Raph at the same time in I dunno what episode and they couldn't get him. Then there was the monks of I-dunno-where who wanted a demonstration of whatever it was, so Mikey was dug up because he was the best at it.

I was starting to get the impression they were trying to make it clear Mikey was doing great.

they will probably do something like mikey has been slacking off more in the future. like mikey has been enjoying what the future has to offer more than keeping up with his training. remember in playtime's over when mikey won the videogame and splinter goes now maybe you can get back to training.

also remember grudge match where mikey was skipping out on training cause he thought he did not need to train cause he was the battle nexus champion, and in touch and go when splinter was trying to make mikey learn to focus more, etc.

i dont think it has anything to do with mikey not being a good fighter. it probably has more to do with how unmotivated and unserious he can be at times. he does not normally take being a ninja that serious, he is more serious about being a superhero or just enjoying being a regular teenager and slacking off.

plus in the end mikey usually steps up and proves he is better than he comes across. so beginning of the episode will have splinter going mikey you cannot graduate, then some bad guy will attack them and mikey step up and defeat them and then prove he can graduate in the end of the episode.

Actually, this is exactly how I expect the episode will play out. And that it's that predictable should be proof enough to the people who thought Fast Forward was a good idea that this was, in fact, the dumbest idea ever.

Damn straight. O_o

I wish they'd let Mikey kick butt more. He's a Richard Grayson level acrobat and a master of flexable weapons arguably the hardest group of ninja weapons to master. Why can't he be funny and "deadly" at the same time? It works it works for Spider-Man and Deadpool.

Here's the full plot info for this week's ep from tvguide.com:

"The turtles are about to advance from the ninja rank of Genin to Chunin. However, Michelangelo risks not making the cut."

Sounds to me like Mikey is doing it on purpose for some reason. The trailer shown at http://4kids.tv/buzz/previews (9am) deals with something about Mikey playing Hockey and Raph being an announcer.

And here's the plot for Timing is Everything:
The turtles are called to action when Darius Dun and Sh'Okanabo open up a time portal that causes chaos around the city.

"Risks" not making the cut? In other words he will at the end of the episode, as Aprilsfan said.
