Somethings that bug me about Exodus.
I'm sitting here re-watching Exodus and some things are coming to mind.
Bishop blows Saki's ships tunnel, and Saki says, "Bishop, here!? That changes everything!" They really missed an opportunity not having Saki and Bishop duke it out. Stockman, Hun, and Chapman help Oroku Saki build a star ship...and none of them question why Saki needs a star ship. (And every time some one mentions the star ship I hear Kirk ask, "What does God need with a star ship?") Karai mentions the Utroms are "heartless monsters" for hunting Saki down. I guess it's all about you look at things. Made me think of Nick's new race of Kraang(s). So Hun sees Saki's suit ripped too shreds (no pun intended) and doesn't wonder why his master's got a medal body. Maybe he thought it was some sort of armor...maybe? Love that the Turtles bring in Leatherhead. Stands to reason he'd wanna take down Saki. Re-watching this episode, Ch'rell is so a more hard-core Krang. Man, I forgot who all attempts to stop Shredder. There's the Turtles and Splinter, Casey, April, LH, Prof. Honeycutt, and even Bishop and his commandos. Saki calls earth a "pitiful mud ball." Very Krang. I wonder if it's an homage. Saki's armor has 4 arms, kinda like his mutant clones. Has it ever been explained how there even are mutant Shredder clones, if Shredder is an Utrom? Shredder was going to take Foot Soldiers on his space voyage? Would they learn he's an Utrom? Did the elite know? Stockman's bug reminds me of Nedry's worm Jurassic Park. The line is even similar. Nedry: Unh-unh-uh, you didn't say the magic word. Stockman: unh-unh-uh, you didn't say, "May I?" For a brilliant scientist, Chapman's really a sap. You know for being a ninja, Mikey's screaming, "SHREDDER!" as he attacks is kinda dumb. I'm surprised Donnie didn't lose it after Karai runs Leo through. I mean, wicked bad deja vu. (Add to that Raph being thrown and landing unconscious right next to him...very much like Same as it Never Was.) Why are Shredder's more inhuman armors (This episode and the aforementioned SaiNW void of some sort of shield over the stomach? I know he doesn't have to maintain a human appearance, but you think it'd be a defensive advantage to you know, not have your squishy Utrom body exposed. Maybe it's a sign of arrogance. "No way anyone's going to get close enough to get to the soft nougaty center. MUHAHA!" Really Prof, a countdown. "7 seconds until I have control...6...." *Shredder slashes PDA.* I love how Ch'rell proves to have no honor, proposes to kill the defenseless Turtles, is stopped by Karai, who he nonchalantly back hands before raising a bladed hand to her, and yet she still serves him and even seeks revenge for his banishment in the next season. Really? Dude would have flat killed you for getting in the way of his "evil for evil's sake" killing spree, and you still say, "Well, he's my daddy." BOGUS! Even the Turtles (Ok, Super Turtles, bit whatever) leave Splinter (Sliver) when he goes all wacko genocidal. Leo's shell seems intact when the guys come too. Just sayin'. The Turtles proposing to die to save the universe and countless lives is way noble. Thankfully the Utroms picked up the Fugitoid's distress signal. The Utroms bring a ship to rescue the Turtles and are uber-close to Earth, why not pick up LH. Man, poor guy. You know what would have been an awesome homage to the FW (Fred Wolf) series, if one of Ch'rell's aliases was "Krang." Too bad they used that one in Secret Origins Part 3 . Utrom Tribunal takes care of Utrom Shredder. Ninja Tribunal takes care of their rogue member, Oroku Saki, who was possessed by the Demon Shredder. Is that what they call "irony"? You know, Utrom Shredder is a much more dangerous threat than the Demon Shredder, I mean over 4.2 million aliens, not to mention the people on the Utrom homeworld and Earth. Karai and Chapman are turned over to earth authorities, but what crime were they charged with? I guess that's why they seem to get a very light sentence. Sorry, about that. I just was in a nit picky kinda mood.
