Cheese stuffed crust? Jelly Filled? aka What's your favorite filler

[IndigoErth]

And by that I mean your favorite filler episode. They always get complained about now for being "just a filler," but on a more positive note, which is your favorite and why?


For me it has to be Mazes & Mutants. Adorkable, spoke right to my WoW playing heart, and introduced the Turtles to a potential new friend, who I hope they'll see again in more normal circumstances.

Does the Kuro Kabuto count?

That episode was fast pacing done right. You could really feel the high energy.

I forgot about Rats and Men. It didn't felt like a filler, it felt like watching a two parted or a mid season finale even through it was still a 30 minute episode.

Mine's Parasitica. Scary and hilarious at once!

I almost passed out, like, 19 times, bro.

Oh, I forgot to mention it may cause drowsiness.

Fave fillers,

From season 1 Monkey Brains ( I think it's a filler).
From Season 2 Of Rats and Men.

[ssjup81]

For me, probably Parasitica. For season 2, maybe Attack of the Sqirrelnoids or Pizzaface. Season 3, so far (if it's actual filler), the Bigfoot ep.

[ShelleyQuick]

I wanna say Parasitica, that wasp was pretty cool. Oh and cheesey stuffed crust Pizza Hut pizza is Da best

[blindturtle02]

I was just about to ask you the same thing via visitor message, Indigo. Okay, I'd have to say that mine is also Mazes and Mutants. I can't do WOW of course because my screen reading program doesn't work with stuff like that, but I enjoy watching-- if I can get away with using that word, other people play. I've never participated in larping either but it sounds like a heck of a lot of fun. I loved Malachi and hope to see him again later on down the line. If there was an alternate reality where this mutant existed, I'd larp with him in a heartbeat. Guy knows how to have a blast. I loved how the writers used previously established characters in larping like dragon Leatherhead and the Rockwell monkey-goblins. My second favorite filler would have to be Of Rats And Men.

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, I loved Mazes and Mutants too as it was a fun episode. Also liked the Bigfoot episode from season three so far. Just a ton of fun.

[miru]

Mazes and Mutants. It was a neat episode that tied into the plot despite being filler.

[Powder]

Is there like, a full list of filler episodes? I'm having trouble thinking.

[kolaida]

Would Of Rats and Men be filler? I thought it was a pretty serious episode; I loved it. For fillers, I'd say Fungus Humungous because it was hilarious with Raph and Mikey fears and I like how it addressed Leo's fear. (Assuming it's filler) I also did like Pizza Face quite a bit especially as a filler episode. I loved Mikey singing about making pizza with ICK as well as Mikey interrogating a pizza.

I liked Mazes and Mutants but not enough to watch it over and over like some other episodes.

Oh, yeah, and I just like thin crust, no fillings, lol!

[Shark_Blade]

I like Pizza Face. Shows that no nonsense badass Mikey, he wants to burn an enemy with fire whilst wearing sunglasses looking cool YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH[/csi screams]

Squirrelanoids too as you get to see Mikey's room, it shows their effort of collecting mutagen canisters (did they just stopped? I think they did after 'Mazes of Mutant' (begging Splinter for one day break, or after Kirby was cured), Metalhead's metal head (hurr durr) got destroyed by the Squirrelanoid, and much more. Plus I LOVE all the horror stuff, Raph's in operation room and they wanted to saw open his stomach, ah so many great moments.

Both are Mikey centric, so yeah I guess I like Mikey episodes.

[raph27]

Pizza Face. I loved that ep so much.

filler episodes are episodes you can skip without missing anything (or most of anything)

Monkey Brains introduces the recurring villain Rat King
and Rats of Men introduces ICKitty a recurring character

if you skipped these episodes...you wouldn't know how these characters showed up, because they are shown in more than one episode.

a filler example would be....Pizza Face....it introduces a new villain...but he won't show up again (at least I'm sure) and he doesn't add anything to the story.

I mean...that's how I defined filler.

Mmmm, thin crust, no fillings. Best kind of pizza right there. I liked Pizzaface and Fungus Humungous too. The fungus mutant had a scary voice, and made a pretty sweet villain. Pizzaface was straight up nasty, but ya gotta love a giant mutant pizza blob voiced by John DiMaggio. I still want my TMNT 2012 Pizzaface action figure btw.

[snake]

Probably Mazes And Mutants OR Invasion Of The Squirelanoids.

[travelingcat]

Season 1 didn't have much for filler, did it?

I'd go with Fungus Humungous. Characters hallucinating traumatizing fears and losing touch of reality all masked in a funny, cartoony way. Ya know, for kids! I also really like that giant fungus and his voice.

Yeah, season 1 had Parasitica, but other than that, they all felt like they were a part of the main plot. Monkey Brains had Falco in there and his cooperating with the Kraang in order to test their mutagen on Rockwell. I guess the only season 1 episode that felt like filler to me was parasitica, but I'll probably re-watch this one again for the sixth time or so to see if I missed anything involving the main story. We did witness an unforeseen result of that wacky unstable mutagen which comes up again in Pulverizer Returns. But maybe I'm being too generous? No matter how many times I watch Turtle Temper, I just can't consider that one to be filler since it's got some things which will come into play later with the Kraang. Splinter also tells Raph a bit about his rivalry with Shredder, and I certainly found this tidbit to be quite the tease when it first aired in 2013.

[MisfitKraang]

I would have to say Invasion of the Squirrelanoids or Pizzaface I love the horror homage episodes
