New Ep Discussion: "Prodigal Son"

[Aska_Badoura]

Nice badass move Leonardo did to the Shredder statue, but I thought it was a little insencitive and I actaully felt a pang of sympathy for Karai when she looked at his head. If some one had beheaded a statue of my deceased father I think I would have been undone .

Yeah, that made me wince. "Way to undermine everything you just said, Leo!" But she didn't take it that way, apparently.

And, technically... that statue is very very large... the head should not have been that small when Karai picked it up..

And this is coming from some one who hates Karai

Maybe they'll play up her pitiful side now, to win you over.. *shrug*

How long did it take to sail from Japan into New York's harbor? Just a few days? I got the empression that the turtles where sepreted for just a few days. It should have taken months to get back to the states. How long did that boat trip last? What was it magic? That was a serious passage of time dysfuntion on the writters part!

Well, I think that comes from the average American having no idea how long a trans-Pacific voyage is (Oh! That reminds me... why would a ship be going from New York to Japan? Wouldn't it be easier to truck everything to California and then send it by boat..? What? That's not convenient? Oh, that's right... ), and not taking the time to research it. (Eh.. I may have to do that now :p) I don't have any idea, myself.

BTW am I the only one loving all these tmnt shorts that they're playing I hope they end up on the dvd's!

*blinks* I always miss them, I don't watch anything but Turtles, and I tape them and watch them later, anyway. Why don't they play them during Turtles when Turtles fans are watching? *scratches head* I guess 'cause they're supposed to attract the attention of people who don't normally watch it, so they'll tune in.

Watching some clips of my digital copy now... Yes, Masked Ninja, Oroku is spelled right. Heh, Leo steals Karai's katana scabbard at one point... makes up for her stealing his sword in "Exodus", maybe?

BTW, Fledermaus, when I first saw Karai in this ep, I thought her eyes were blue, like you said about April's before... but I think they're just using a different 'mix' on their color green now. I rewound it and watched the shot again, and they looked green to me that time, strangely enough. I think it's one of those ambiguous maybe-blue, maybe-green colors.

Speaking of colors, random observation: through the whole ep, Karai's lips are red, and they're usually a much lighter pink. Dunno if that means anything, but it is a little unusual for them to change a color like that.
