Exactly! Be happy for Any episode you recieve, for it is precious, no matter how corny or sad, or stupid it may seem!

Before the episode even started, I said to my brother, "They're gonna do a scene where he tries on a bunch of stupid costumes. Watch." Guess what, they did.

I had that feeling too... I think Mike was kinda cute in this episode. That 'youngest kid' imagination was in high gear, even after his brothers made fun of him about it.

I liked that they finally pointed out Mikey's artistic talent, I really liked his drawings. I recently got busted at work for drawing on the job, but I didn't get hit with a stick, they just gave me a different assignment. And I also liked the lesson about being yourself and all that, another lesson I've recently had bashed over my head. (By Raphael no less, long story.)

Ahh, yes...I was snickering a bit too much to see it. Poor Mike's been bapped, bashed, thwacked, and nailed with Splinter's doomstick, I'm gonna get him some protective gear and a body cast...

Heh, drawing at work...the source of my wonderful lil phroggy... (long story too, but not as interesting, i imagine...)

Yes, I loved that lil lesson bit. Splinter's lil bit of wisdom came into effect nicely at the end. I love Mike, but I wouldnt go out in public with him like that even if you paid me...

Seeing Mike do the invisible dragon kick was cool too...

Overall, while not mind blowing or plot driving, I think this ep served it's own purpose. A bit of a cushion between two intense storylines, something I think is really important. Like when they add humorous moments within the episodes to release tension, sometimes they need to do that on a larger scale.

Exactly! If the guys were stuck constantly worrying about getting killed by someone, or getting chased by scientists, they'd die of anxiety overloads.

And as...someone said (cant remember name)... The boys needed a pleasant break after that mess with Shredder. I think even Splinter would have a bit of a chuckle over it...of course after lecturing Mike about remembering who he was, and how he'd let himself get seen by so many...
