Pretty good episode. I like Raph's panic attack in the heat of battle. Added a nice dynamic to his character and showed the importance of Leonardos role to the team. Karai looks so stupid though and the blonde bowl cut thing in the back isn't helping. I like the 2k3 version much better, personality as well so far. Could have used some more splinter

*BabyTurtles* · 02-01-2013, 09:57 PM

things I liked

1) Raph panicing
2) Karai in general (SHES AWESOME!!!)
3) Leo and April XD (GOSSIP TIME)
4) April slapping leo!!
5) MIKEY!!! JUST BEING MIKEY!! him trying to hug Leo and be a peacemaker XD

I freaked out a little when Mikey got hurt.....poor Raph.

*Bauer536* · 02-01-2013, 09:58 PM

Wow. Just wow. What an enjoyable episode.

Great to see Leonardo get the spotlight again.

Plus, seems that Raph had an important role in this one, too.

I'm happy to see Snakeweed again. In fact, it makes me want to buy the action figure right away. It just seemed silly, however, for Leo to kick him in the heart instead of stab him. But, what the hey? It's a kid show. Still, we probably didn't need to see him kill him if Nick would allow those kind of shots.

As for Karai - she was cool. This is the first time where I actually liked her. In fact, her relationship with Leo in this show was like watching that Batman/Catwoman love/hate relationship. Here's hoping we see more of that. In fact, I would like her to be good and bad her own way. Then that will show that the turtles have good reason to trust her (or not).

To bad her relationship with her father is not that loving. I mean, if I recall in those old bios, it said that Shredder loved Miwa and treated her with kindness (correct me, if I'm wrong).

After seeing this, something tells me that she may not be Miwa. But I could be wrong. In fact, I'm guessing she is Miwa because somehow Leo senses good in her, and she feels like she doesn't belong with her "father."

What I really loved in this episode was Raphael proving to be a good guy. I mean, he's a hero, but sometimes he can be obnoxious. I'm glad he realized that Leo was picked as the leader for a reason. Raph could do better, but he proved that he still needed some work. Just saying "Go for the head" constantly won't help. Sometimes as a leader, you need to take good care of your strategies so you know what to do (whether you succeed or fail). Leo has been a good leader since episode 1. He seems to be smart enough to develop strategies.

One of my favorite scenes, however, was when Mikey looks at Leo's red eyes and thought he was crying.

Another point for my list:

* Leo vs. foot clan, reminded me of Raph vs. the foot in the first TMNT live action film. Wonder if it was meant to be an homage of sorts.

In mirage and the 2k3 Series its Leo fighting the Foot alone. So if anything its a nod to mirage.

*Rooish* · 02-01-2013, 10:19 PM

That episode was great! Leo is adorable and it was nice to see Raph kind of nice for a change!

*CyberCubed* · 02-01-2013, 10:37 PM

I kept thinking the end of the episode would show Karai steal the sword, why was that plot just dropped?

I could have seen it function like the Sword of Tengu from the 4kids series.

I think it was just there to point out, that Leo likes Karai, but not enough to do bad things.

and Karai probably saw the monster and decided that sword could wait for another day :3

Beat me to it. The movie kept the same plot but switched out Leo for Raph. The 2k3 toon brought it back to its roots. But yeah, when the Foot showed up, for a second there I thought Leo was about to get his ass kicked and thrown through a window, haha.

Fantastic episode. I have no words. It's great to be a turtle fan right now, that's all I'm gonna say.

TurtlesRule · 02-01-2013, 11:34 PM

Does anyone think Snakeweed will work with the Kraang and Foot Clan again like he did in his original episodes? You would think Kraang and Foot Clan would see him as a great ally to have against the turtles. He seems more like a solo villain now which works well for him but you would think he would join up with the Kraang and Foot Clan since they have a common enemy. And besides, Snakeweed isn't a complete monster. He could still be reasoned with like Xever and Bradford when they were mutated. Although it's interesting because I think out of everyone who got mutated in the series so far, Snakeweed comes the closest to complete monster while the others got mutated but still retained most of their personality.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 02-01-2013, 11:50 PM

Frig I don't get to see this til next Saturday! Fn bull$h*t! I don't get why Canada is now behind the US by a week airing eps?! Total and complete bs

Turtle-X · 02-02-2013, 12:20 AM

i really enjoyed this episode, prob my favorite since the Metalhead ep. that being said, i hate that Karai has blonde hair on the back of her head.

*chrisdude* · 02-02-2013, 12:21 AM

I dig Karai. And I like that Leo may have something of a crush on her. That's totally the kind of chick I could see Leo fall for - someone who challenges her.

me too. at first i thought, does she have a metal plate in her head.

TheJ-manTurtleMan · 02-02-2013, 01:18 AM

Awesome episode! The writers in this show really love the Sci-fi/Horror genre, Snakeweed's lair; total nod to Aliens! I kept waiting for some sort of plant-type-facehugger thing to pop out! Snakeweed's "death" perhaps a nod to Terminator 2? And also I sensed a little Star Wars in there with the whole, "I can sense the good in her" thing

Also, it donned on me that Snakeweed is the perfect character to “kill off” every time he shows up. He can't die so it's a great tool for the writers to use to show different ways that the turtles could destroy something living, without actually killing it or showing death in a kid's show. Anyone get what I'm trying to say?

Nice point. Snakeweed will be a nice recurring villain. I thought the alien like green lair was pretty cool and I'm thinking sw will be working with shredder and the foot in the future.
