I don't hate the series, I don't love it... it's meh. It's still better than the live action show. I hate cody and his blue Mira from Buzz Lightyear looking geek girlfriend (more so the girlfriend, I always get jealous and depressed when I see couples of any kind, but that's another post for another day). But this and the Bishop episodes are at least forshadowing better storylines to come. No more of this... "WOW! Look how the future changed, and yet stayed relatably the same" one shot episodes. Who else was disappointed by the lameness of the wrestling episode? That one had limitless potential.

I'm going to save my thoughts about the lack of Junkfood for another post... I feel it may be social commentary.

Biggles and Sterling? Well... I must admit... I've warmed up to them. I do like parodies of British Bobbies (being heavily into Monsty Python right now) and "What's all this then" cracks me up. But even still... it would work better in another series. I do like how he actually does something besides being poor comic releif.

Splinter does nothing in the show aside from saying he's teaching Cody martial arts and disapline. But then again, without Splinter, we wouldn't have the Kick arse new Splinter action figure, that blows the shapeless plastic turd in a burlap wrap first version out of the toilet water.

But that Mech suit of Cody's? PATHETIC! The top one thing I hate about FF is the lack of Casey Jones. Just mentioning him by turning his likeness into a formulaic robot? Please!

>>Maybe other fans would like it more if the future was more like in Cowboy Bebop, but then you'd see tons of Bounty hunters and New York's economy looking like crap.<<

While a dark, ominous, depressing future is cliche... well... it's cliche for a reason. I mean, this isn't Jetsons where everything is too convieniant, or on the opposite of the scale, Futurama where things are still humongously flawed. (oddly enough... anyone else notice the mentions of New New York... like the NNY Power company?) It's Future for future's sake.
