Official Ep Discussion: #4 "New Friend, Old Enemy" - Page 6

Does anyone know if Nick will upload the episode to their site like they did with the first 3? I was seriously hoping they'd do it all season but I think they won't now due to the people purchasing the episodes in itunes.

Why give people something for free when you can make them pay for it?

*Zulithe* · 10-13-2012, 10:57 PM

the show is incredibly popular on itunes... all 3 current eps (101, 102, 103) have full popularity bars... you don't see that on a lot of shows. i purchased a season pass but the disappointing part is you have to wait until Sunday (very early Sunday morning, few minutes after midnight usually, if you are up late) to see the show

*CyberCubed* · 10-13-2012, 11:00 PM

I guess I made the mistake in assuming the episodes would always be uploaded online after I come home from work.

Now I gotta wait till tomorrow...if then.

*odupianist* · 10-13-2012, 11:03 PM

Of the four episodes, this is the best by far. I was questioning the series, but this episode gives me hope. The final battle scene with them in the sewer really shows how they've come together as a team. I'm still not keen on Mikey's intelligence level. However, Raph's quick reaction to Mikey's predicament was a nice touch.

i'm glad people are liking it so much... i have not watched it yet

waiting for itunes to update in about 2 hours!

*Kendamu* · 10-13-2012, 11:19 PM

I'm not too happy with the fact that Nick doesn't have it up yet. I know I'll have it tomorrow, but I've been excited about this pretty much all day at work!

I spent all day at work today thinking about how happy I would be when I came home to watch a new Ninja Turtle episode...and I get nothing.

A 10 hour shift at work and I don't even get a TMNT episode to wind down with. God I wish I was a teenager in High School again when I had off Saturday mornings...those were the days...

*Hero* · 10-14-2012, 01:14 AM

Well I'm hoping it will be online soon by whatever means (

), If not, I always have the UK broadcast to view tomorrow.

Historia · 10-14-2012, 01:19 AM

I liked this episode better then the last one. We have Shredder and some obvious people who know how to fight as his henchmen. Lines that I can't help but laugh at and the fight scene in the sewer

Raph being a good older brother to Mikey at the end. Very sweet there.

I don't nitpick cartoons on the whole because it is a cartoon and I would go insane if I did so. So I just let it be and I will see what happens. Heck watching the OT, I seen the huh scenes long ago and made comments with my brother and now it is like a Rocky Horror picture show where you insert a few lines in between yourself. Now let me do some dancing in my room

Whatcha think this is? the my little pony fandom? fans would have episodes up with in an hour time, two for high quality

*Zulithe* · 10-14-2012, 01:48 AM

okay, watched it. strong ep compared to 103. lots and lots of mikey so mike fans should be happy... that is if you like his goofy portrayal in the nick show (which I do) some good fighting, the battle in the sewer was fantastic. it's just a shame that the 30 min format makes everything feel so rushed

TheJ-manTurtleMan · 10-14-2012, 02:47 AM

Awesome episode! Although I really liked the previous ones, it was a breath of air fresh not see any mutants or aliens (I think Leo put that nicely

)

Also this episode reminded me of an episode from the OT toon, but for the life of me I can't remember the title. I recall that towards the end Shredder, Bebop, Rocksteady, and some foot soliders are in the sewers searching for the turtles and without Shredder, Bebop, Rocksteady noticing the turtles take out the foot soldiers one by one. Sound familiar to anyone?

BAXTER STOCKMAN 19 · 10-14-2012, 03:09 AM

Awesome episode! So far the best episode of the series!

Icegaze · 10-14-2012, 05:34 AM

Just watched the episode! Fantastic stuff.
I'm really liking the character-centric episodes in this show because although the main focus is on one turtle (here Mikey) it doesn't completely ignore the other three turtles. Leo, Raph and Donnie all got to be under the limelight for highlighting their skill or developping an aspect of their personality.

Great stuff Nickelodeon. Keep it coming.

PS: Xever is a much cooler character than I expected. Promising.

This revelation leads the turtles to confront Bradford, where they find Mikey tied up as a clever ruse. Just happy to have their brother back, they proceed to head back home not thinking of who might be following and bam we now know the location of their secret lair.

The only problem was they underestimated the Turtles understanding of Nineties cartoons and assumed that they wouldn't realize the whole sting was actually a trap.

You don't think that's giving Bradford too muh credit? The plan was to follow them home. But as far as luring his brothers, just tying Mikey up would've done the trick. I figured Bradford really did teach the kata to show trust, so Mike would trust him enough to talk about his sensei.

*Slade* · 10-14-2012, 06:57 AM

Just now getting around to posting about the episode. It was pretty good, though I'm starting to think this may be the dumbest version of Mikey to date.

Loved the action in the sewer. Their eyes going white when it's time to fight is pretty cool.

Just some random stuff here, but we own a cat named Mittens and I actually have a cousin named Chris Bradford.

Filespit · 10-14-2012, 07:07 AM

I really enjoyed this episode, we got to see the turtles in real tactical action. I especially liked the part where they sneaked into Chris lair stealth style. It still disturbs me a bit though how, in this case, Mikey thinks Chris will accept him right away because they're online friends. Although they had already "met" while they were fighting turtles against foot, Mikey simply states they're friends online and all of a sudden everything's cool between them - the fact that he's a mutant turtle is no big deal, no no of course not! I'm not complaining about it but I just find it funny how they're not that careful about not showing themselves to humans. Despite this, I'm loving the show so far. It's funny, got great action scenes and is well produced.

Nickelodeon themselves had uploaded the previous two episodes the same day. I don't think it was unreasonable to expect lightning to strike a third time in this regard.
