Official Ep Discussion: #8 "Never say Xever"

This episode was my favorite so far, which is what I said about the last one, and the one before that, so that's definitely a good sign! Each episode hits on all cyclinders with a nice balance of humor and action. This episode was funny, had some great nods to past TMNT series, action packed with some great fight scenes that were well choreographed, and most importantly it had great character building moments & advanced the plot in a huge way.

Really looking forward to the Turtles engaging Shredder.

Splinter seems much younger & more spry in this series, which is a very welcomed change for this new take. I have always dug the wise old teacher aspect of Splinter, but I really hope in this series, where he hasn't seem as old & fragile, that we see him take more of an active role in fighting alongside with the turtles and kicking some series Foot Clan butt. In the past we've seen Splinter kick some butt and tangle with Shredder & other villains, but he's usually pretty banged up & really showing his age afterwards. With this Nick series the April is obviously younger, and the Turtles seem less mature (earlier in their teenage years) so it'd be cool if Splinter was a little younger as well.

I'd love to see a Shredder vs. Splinter fight where Splinter's age & fraility doesn't seem to be an issue.
