New Ep Discussion: "Return to the Underground"
 
*coughs a lil before sucking down some tea*

Ugh...hate being sick. Well, welcome back to my little teaser thread. I know I usually have these up earlier, its just i've been so outta whack for the past two weeks like you wouldnt believe... :dead:

Well, just one more ep until

CITY AT WAR

thrilling, aint it? ;) :P

Well, the boys take a lil trip back to the center of the earth to see some friends. Can you imagine the conversations there?

Mike: "Hey, you looke different... new haircut? you but a nosejob? Maybe--Ahh, Acid!! I cant SEEEEEE!!!" *faints*

Heh, so much for diplomatic Relations... :goof:

So yeah, I guess that buggy-eyed dude with the misshapened head is up to something, maybe? Who knows. At least we get to have a happy reunion with Quarry and the others.

And you thought PMS Alone was bad.. :teek:

Once again, as the Turtles need help in their troubles, I ask my fellow Mods to give me a hand in exciting you folks into tomorrows ep...

Unlocked for all you beautiful people!

Utrom 03-06-2004 08:01 AM

Thanks for unlocking this, Michaelangelo! That was a pretty decent follow up to the three part “Notes from the Underground.” I think that the “Turtle Tumbler” would make a pretty cool toy and my only problem with the episode was that they never explained about the underground race (the bald guy). Well, what else is there to say? It was a Donatello episode! :D

Stone Ill 03-06-2004 08:01 AM

For a second I thought that they were going to find the Technodrome! :lol:

Hyper Metal Sonic 03-06-2004 08:02 AM

That episode was filled with more great one-liners than I can count.

Don: "What kind of idiot do you think I am?"

Mike: "There's more than one kind?"

Mike: "What a great idea, let's go down the underground city for fun, AND GET EATEN!

Meira-Bates 03-06-2004 08:02 AM

I liked it ^.^ we know Quarry's real name now. Though I still dunno WHY I like Quarry, but yay Sydney! *snuggles the Donny ep*

HorseTechie 03-06-2004 08:08 AM

Whoa.. hay, I thought you turned in your mod badge, Mikey. Heh.. no matter, thanks for the unlock!


Now... I'm just a liiiiittle confused. Did FoxBox up and change the time for the show for those in the Indiana region? I get up at 9:30 as I always do, turn on the TV, and.... see the intro for the Shaman King.

:o What?!

Don't tell me I missed it! I don't have a TV guide or anything like that for this week either to check. Man..... *goes to check and see what show is on now*

Jo Dawn 03-06-2004 08:10 AM

Yes, yes... A Donnie ep. Woo hoo! :D *ahem* Anyway... yeah, I rather enjoyed this episode. It was filled with great one liners. And a lot of nice little touches.

It was interesting to see Don get a little frustrated. You could tell this was very important for him to figure out. And I liked how it was Raph that wanted to go after him when he walked off at the beginning. And how when Don showed up at the end after they thought something had happened, it was Leo that hugged him. (If I saw correctly) It was just a nice episode that showed in many ways how close they are as brothers.

Even if they do like to tease each other. Hehe, Mikey's impression of Don. :lol:

Oh well, I really liked this episode alot. And not just because it was a Donnie one. :wink: :)

jestergoblin 03-06-2004 08:13 AM

it wasn't a bad episode but i wish it talked more about the bald guy as well. Also, since Donny removed a crystal shouldn't the guy come back?

This left too many questions unanswered for me :|

Taloniss 03-06-2004 08:17 AM

Stupid Fox, I had a food warning scrolling across the top of my screen for the first 5 minutes.

This was a really good episode, I liked it alot more then the original Underground Triology. It's nice that the writers didn't forget about Don's promise to help the humans, that's some nice continuity. Learning more about Quarry was cool too. This show has some sweet character development.

Too many funny quotes from this episode to list them all, so lets just say that Mikey is a god. My favourite one was "Nets, I'm all out of nuts! I mean, Nuts, I'm all out of nets!" That was pure gold.

The Turtle Tumbler and the Tech Packs would make raelly cool toys.

I'm not sure what Time Zone you're in, but I know Turtles moved to 9:30 Eastern this week. It's a permanent change.

Machias Banshee 03-06-2004 08:42 AM

*grumble* Dont worry HT, I forgot the timechange too.... :evil:

PanMan 03-06-2004 08:42 AM

pretty good ep. we should have gotten more info about those bald guys, and the 'whole story' (don said that he forgot to mention the 'whole story').

and when don took out the crystal, he wasn't supposed to come back. your supposed to turn the crystal to open the little 'prison'.

I liked it, it was nice to see the monsters go back to human. They seemed very happy about this. I liked when Mikey impersonates Don with his best nerd voice. :lol:

So does that mean it's on at.... 8:30 here now?

:dead:

I can't wake up that early! That's.... eeeeeeeeeevil! :x

cqb101 03-06-2004 09:10 AM

The episode was OK....My least favorite of season 2.....Great one liners tho...Does anybody else think that they are getting carried away with the gadgets and vehicles? I mean come on! They live in a sewer, have no money, and can build a drilling machine that can go through lava? And WTH was up with those stupid backpacks?!

Relay 03-06-2004 09:37 AM

Don: "Gentlemen...and Mikey...may I present the Turtle Tunneller!"

Everybody's been saying it was the Turtle Tumbler. I thought he was calling it the Turtle Tunneller. That makes sense since it makes tunnels. I'm surprised there have not been news or pictures of a Turtle Tunneller toy. They've been releasing the toys before we've seen the vehicles on the show, but not this time, I guess.

Anyway, yet another great Donny episode. Is there anything that Turtle can't do?

Don: "You think I wouldn't build this thing to withstand molten lava? What kind of idiot do you think I am?"
Mikey: "There's more than one kind?"

It was good that Donny actually lived up to his word to help Quarry, Stonebitter, Razorfist and the rest. The other monsters besides those three that we met on the Turtles' last adventure into the underground included what looked like King Nail. Just like last week's Evil Turtlebot, we have an original character from the video game making an appearance on the TV show.

I'm kind of mad Donny didn't do more testing on the syrum to see how stable it was. I mean, if one frequency made it go from crystal to liquid form, what's to keep a different frequency from turning it back into crystal form. Sydney could go to the opera, the singer would hit just the right note, and bam! She would have tiny pieces of crystal flowing through her veins. Also, the effects of the syrum could simply wear off after a while. Then everyone would change back unexpectedly and accidentally melt their families with acid spit. Man, I overanalyze this stuff waaaaay too much.

This episode was good, but I can't wait until next week's City at War, especially since I just read the story arc from the original comic just a few days ago. I'm sure the cartoon won't follow it too closely, but it should still be cool.

And baby makes three. :cry:

Next week someone make with the astral projection and drag me out of bed at 9:30! Can't miss my darling Karai...

Hehe, you know what the funny part of that is? When my brother and I were watching it, and they were falling toward the lava, I looked over at him and said: "You don't think he didn't build it to deal with heat, do you? They're going down deep into the earth!"

And then he said that line, lol. :)

jestergoblin 03-06-2004 10:00 AM

Relay, King Nail appeared in Notes of the Underground. All of the beasts in this episode appeared in the old ones.

I still think the Stonebiter like guy is the coolest.

Still, it was an ok episode. Really similar to The Ultimate Ninja...

Mr. Stay Puft 03-06-2004 10:19 AM

This episode was pretty good. A nice filler between last week's "What A Croc" episode (which was awesome) and next week's "City at War". I'm really hoping they start putting out the old Mirage comics out in trade paperback soon. I've only read vol. 1, no. 1 completely. I'd like to see some others.
