Does anyone else really like Captain Ryan?
 

He's one of the best, "characters" created for this show. He's almost like a parody of James T. Kirk except he shows no remorse about people dying and is more than willing to sacrifice everyone.

It almost reminds me of Family Guy skits or stuff you'd see on Adult Swim.

I'm actually kinda hoping they make an episode where Leonardo gets, "transported" through Dimensions into the cartoon, and actually interacts with Captain Ryan. That's probably a plotline the original cartoon would have done if this concept existed back then, but may seem too silly for this series.

Captain Ryan is so funny, love him~

Splinter doesn't want Leo to model after Captain Ryan, but Ryan has been doing a great job of teaching him!! XD

To be honest - Leo does look up to him, but I know inside, his real role model is Splinter himself.:tcool:

Captain Ryan is awesome. I really liked the scene with him in the new episode:

"You broke my heart..." (presses button and disintegrates female villian) "Good thing my disintergrater still works!":tlol:

He isn't almost like a parody of James T. Kirk....he is a parody of James T. Kirk.

Personally I hate him and his Sealab 2021 animation style.

But that's just me.

I'd like to see Leo interact with Captain Ryan, even if it's just a dream sequence.

Somebody in another thread brought up the idea of the turtles going to a convention, and meeting Captain Ryan's actor. That's a cool idea.

Not Sealab style, Star Trek:TAS:

Never saw Star Trek TAS, so I wouldn't know. Then again I must of seen something cause looking at a pic from Sealab, I really don't know why I thought it was that.

So going through this thread I was all like "GOTTA CORRECT CYBERCUBED ON THIS...oh wait...Jester did it. GOTTA CORRECT COLLECTOR ON THIS...oh wait...Jester did it".

We're on the same wave length, and it's scary.

Space Heroes ****ing rocks. This episode was probably my favorite Captain Ryan moment.

Curse of the Kevins?

Kinda funny character

I won't say underrated, because I think the show won an Emmy. But it is certainly an under appreciated series.

Was that done by Filmation? LOL at the horrible editting and mega-LOL at all the times they show someone's face zoomed in... I guess cause they either wanted to fill up space or were too lazy to draw the rest of them.

Yes, Filmation. And LOTS of recycling...
But the stories were legit Star Trek, and animation allowed for some cool things they couldn't do live-action. Like visiting an underwater race of aliens.

I like star trek so I love captain ryan, and yes. It's also really cool that Leo loves something really nerdy and not just Mikey. If we have to sit through another super hero episode based on lairds justice issue ill kill myself. I'd rather see more star trek references ha.

Really, havning a parody within the show and turn Leo into what is basically a hardcore trekkie, that was a stroke of genius!

If there is some-thing all Leos have lacked, it's some sort of more tangible character, some-thing more relateable then just. "Wise and always correct leader."

There's a reason why he was never any-ones fave turtle.

But hell, what better way is there to make a character relateable to a geeky audience whom follows old TV-shows religously, then making him a geeky viewer following an old show religously?

That's genius! This Leo is a geek, and it's adorable, it's relateable, I really like this character now :lol:

And the show clips themselves, are hillarious, small bits of hillarious comedy bits, and absolute call-backs to genuine Star Trek episodes some-times. That clip with the small. "trumpetthingies." laying all around the ship, they just threw out in space. "cause we have mercy." that was totally a reference to the Tribbles from actual Star Trek, oh that was lovely.

It's great to see Leo being a fan boy of Captain Ryan. Seeing his expressions as he watches episodes. Raph giving him flak for watching it. So yeah, I do like Captain Ryan.

I like Captain Ryan. Large ham, questionable ethics (I smiled like an idiot when he vaporized his love interest) and not afraid to slap himself.
