Live reporting from Walmart!

I'm heading to a walmart thats showing the new episode. I'll post my thoughts here and keep everyone updated, in spoiler tags of course. I made a new thread becuase I didn't want to hinder the discussion in the official thread.

Wha... where did you hear about this?!

Check the official thread. Certain Walmarts are airing the first episode early. I forget the website name for it.

It says "sneak preview". Doesn't sound like the full episode to me but I could be wrong.

The language on their site makes it seem like it is

http://www.walmart.com/c/store/search/turtlepower

Saw the sneak peek wording on the facebook page so who knows? I guess we'll find out after 2.

This is just so weird. Everyone gathering at a freaking grocery store to watch a freaking cartoon episode. What in the hell have we become????????:lol: Eh, I guess it's no less weird than when people would gather around the TV sets to watch a sport.

But yeah it does seem like an incredibly odd place to première an episode. Especially since, if there's a bunch of kids there, nobody's likely to be able to hear anything regardless.

Not a bad strategy. Kids can bug their parents to buy the toys after seeing the premiere. Just adds to more toy sales.

I went to Wal-Mart earlier this week and heard the promo about it on the TVs they had on display. There's no way I'm going to Wal-Mart just to watch an episode though, even if it is an opportunity to see it before it airs on TV.

...a valid point, actually.

They only shown the first 10 mins of the episode

SPOILERS AHEAD
It was a short preview. It opens up with April explaining the state of the team and then Leo wakes up. His voice is changed becuase Shredder crushed it throat. Donnie feeds him mutagen medicne and he goes out to train and then pukes up the medicne. It sinks into the ground and two glowing eyes appear.

Leo's vomit created the Creep.

Why would Don make mutagen meds in the first place?

Spoiler:

I want to see this episode now!!!!!

Spoiler:

As Snake said, the paid homage to the 1990 movie and April narrates the whole opening intro on their defeat and explains what everyone has done in the time leading up. She has a journal with her that she draws in, it appears Ciro still wanted her to have that talent for art. ;)

Leo is unmasked the whole time, it's our first look at unmasked Leo.

Donnie's lab as most expected is one of the side barns.

Mikey according to April's narrative still goofs off but does a lot of the chores...but mostly goofs off (But he gives a line from Splinter during their troubling times and appears to have matured even more since the finale.

Raph stays by Leo's side the whole time he rests in the upstairs tub.

Donnie and Casey still appear to be at each other as they get a little rough with each other during a training session, but act buddy buddy when April confronts them.

We did see the new anime show based from 1981, and it is...Conguar the Barbarian (Based off Thundar the Barbarian)

Raph is very upset about Leo's condition and that Splinter is gone and that they have to live where they are, to no one's surprise. But Leo does awaken in the opening act snapping him out of it for the time being. And from what is said, Leo has been out for 3 MONTHS.

They do in fact explain Leo's voice change as Donnie states that Leo's throat is badly damaged as are his lungs. Leo's voice starts out very raspy and Donnie gives him the mutagen diluted medicine to build back up Leo's immune system.

Raph makes Leo go on a hike with him to help get Leo back on his feet, but Leo is very down and believes he'll never get better. Raph gets upset and says "That's not the Leo I know! Now come on!"

Leo then gets sick as he appears to have overdosed on the mutagen medicine Donnie gave him based on his increased depression and belief that he'll never recover makes him keep drinking the medicine until he suddenly becomes nauseous. Throws up on the ground, Raph takes Leo back to the farm, and the mutagen in the medicine created The Creep after they leave, but that's where the clip ends.

Wow, I never expected The Creep was.. that. It sounds so good! So pumped to see it now.

Thank you for the reports!

Now I'm getting kind of desperate.
I can't wait for this episode!!

Spoiler:

Glad to hear that they actual address Leo's voice changing.
