Nick UK skipping episodes

*Chris* · 03-24-2013, 10:35 AM

Confession time - when it looked like Nick UK might be skipping this episode I watched the US episode online. I've finally got round to watching the UK version from my Sky Plus and I can't believe how badly they've butchered this episode!!!

The rescue of April - cut (now she just appears next to them on the rooftop)
Leo blowing up the wall of rats - cut (he goes to draw his katana and it cuts straight to the explosion)
Leo showing Splinter the picture of his family - cut

And that's just what I can remember, there was probably more! But hey, at least they're didn't digitally remove the blade from Mikey's kusurigama this time

Seriously glad I didn't go for a UK iTunes season pass. I was thinking about checking out the first UK DVD to see if they'd used the uncut US masters since they seemed to be cutting less recently, but definitely not now. Gonna wait and see if they do a US Blu-Ray season set and just import the US DVDs if they don't. No more chances for Nick UK from me. I'll watch the show and support them with ratings (and buy the toys and Lego and stuff), but I won't be buying any UK releases of the episodes after this.
