Turtles Forever - Talkback Discussion Thread

Here's some trivia I just rediscovered. In light of all the folks acting like the Bebop t-shirt in the intro scene for April & Casey was never mentioned before, I just refreshed my memory on what channel Splinter's 'stories' was on. Two guesses... Get it wrong and we'll eject ya from The 'Drome. Also, I'm guessing that "Jay's Pizza" is another reference to Famous Jay's in NY, like in the Fast Forward ep, "The Freaks Come out at Night". The Mirage Turtles even mentioned Bleacker Street Pizza.

As to where in the continuity of the OT this movie occurred, here's what I came up with: it didn't. I still want to believe it was meant to skew from "SHREDDER & SPLINTERED" because that's the only time Krang had his molecular amplification thing working, their sky wasn't red and the flashback was very similar to the plot of that ep. However, there was the cameo of Irma who wasn't on the show until Season 2 (but, The Turtles didn't act like they recognized her, so that's still plausible) and the scent analyzer that was introduced in Season 3's "BEWARE THE LOTUS". So, I still can't think of this as anything but a "what if" adventure for the OT and Mirage Turtles.
