Official Ep Discussion: S3 Ep5: "In Dreams"
 

Okay, I'm running a lil close to the wire, but we've got a new episode up tonight.

Dream beavers... it sounds like the name of a bad porno, but what is this episode really about? Is this going to be some actual deep insight into what the turtles are thinking about right now: Hiding in Northampton, the invasion in New York, the loss of Splinter... their deepest fears?


We've had some serious episodes, some humorous... this could really be a toss-up. I have a feeling it will be less serious and more into the horror genre, with a lot of cornballish humor. We'll see. :)

It's two hours to go, everyone, just be patient!

Some cool scenes in this episode and nice backgrounds.

The part with the guy using the chainsaw against Casey was more creepy than the writers intended, especially because it was real and Casey could have been chopped up. Did that remind anyone else of Resident Evil 4?

Though this being the umpteenth horror episode in this show took a bit of sting off this one since we've seen so many similar episodes.

That was... weird.

Poll on the way!

Oh my god!!!!!! that episode was totally f****d up :o

and I enjoyed it but now i'm too scared to go to bed.

Why would it remind anyone of that?

The voice of the general store owner was Bill Moseley and the chainsaw had The Saw Is Family on the blade.

A reference to Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.

And awesome :D

What did I just watch? lol Different, very different. Dear god Dave... LOL Not too much stands out to me, but not a bad episode.

What did it say on the chainsaw? Didn't quite catch it.

Hope the old guy is back around again since he's a new neighbor.

Because I never watched that movie and it reminded me of the chainsaw guys in Resident Evil 4

i liked it. i wish they would have some how or another found a way to get bruce campbell to play the store owner.

that said
one two the beavers are coming for you....

Dave had Bender's voice.

I'm sure Dave was the side of Freddy that REALLY loved children

Since we've had several "it's a dream" episodes so far, what made this watchable was some funny moments and I understood that this was about satire and except for the point where Casey/April have to "fix" the device to make the Turtles wake up, it was all about fantasy within a fantasy and I could easily get the feeling that this wasn't meant to be taken seriously. The beavers obviously were sort of dark versions of the Turtles themselves. Unfortunately, I feel that this is one of the worst episodes of the series so far and it saddens me that with all of the promotion as of late, this easily could have been made by the Platinum Dunes script. Yes, the part with Mikey in his own dream and the brief Rock concert cameo were cool along with a flashback to the City, but I was just unimpressed with the quality of this episode.

Overall: 5/10

I thought it was a good episode, We haven't seen the last of those Dream Beavers.

This episode was insane, I loved it! I think it's my favorite from S3 so far.

The beavers, the visuals, the dreams (Raph's was the BEST, Mikey's was predictable :lol:) everything was so much fun.

Yeah yeah, I'm tired of filler too, but judging this episode on it's own.. it was great! :D

The Saw Is Family

Never played it.

Besides, it was a reference to TCM2

John DiMaggio.

What surprised me the most was that the dream beavers arn't mutants.

I wonder why Donnie has no memory of April kissing him in the Bigfoot episode. The writers really need to keep tabs of where this ship is going.

OH. One fave part though was the other Turtles in Raph's dream.

Thanks :)

Ok is that a homage to something I'm missing...

isn't the first time. I know the chinese ghost movie episode wasn't the best...but still

The Big Trouble In Little China episode?
