Official episode discussion: Rise of the Turtles, Part 1 and 2

[Icegaze]

Excellent debut was excellent. You know you enjoyed a tv show when you watch it 3 times in a row (plus several reviewing of some scenes).
I'm truly impressed with Nickelodeon. My only gripe in that I feel they made Mikey too dumb. Not that it is annoying but it is often emphasized and makes it his primary character trait (instead of being the funny/wild one).

My favourite scenes are as follow:

1. "It's go time!" - all 4 turtles showcase their weapons with a black background and what I consider to be my favourite soundtrack so far;

2. April O'neil's plan - she tries to subdue a Kraang human exosuit although ultimately inconsequencial but what made the scene hilariously awesome was the Kraang's unphased and unchanged facial expression;

3. "There are four of us and one of you, *giggles* what are you gonna do?" Big LOL;

4. Donatello's shuriken kick move;

5. Raphael's (failed) twin sai grapple/throw - the slowmo sequence was golden;

6. Splinter's "(lol) Nooo, that would have been wrong" (talking about Mikey being leader). :lmao
