If you want to be techical,Metalhead caught them and they stopped him!

I set up a thread for The Making of Metalhead over in general if you want to share your thoughts on that episode.

Aside from the problem I have of the height it was a creative reimagining of the character. Don controlling him from the lair and all. It would be nice if he could be put on autopilot and Don can join them to fight alongsdie Metalhead. Still ,well done!

I am actually enjoying see Raph and Don bicker the same way I am personally enjoying much the same thing between Leo and Don in the IDW comics.

It's fun getting to see Don be snarky and forward, I really love when he gets one over on Raphael and you just see Leo at the side grinning mischievously.

Maybe it's just me, it's nice to mix up the dynamics.

Though having always been a Leo fan I am not certain if I should feel pleased or offended when people claim that thanks to this show they finally like his character??

http://markandpaigerodriguez.blogspo...metalhead.html took me a while, but here are my thoughts.

*Slade* · 10-29-2012, 08:15 PM

I really dig this show and like the fact that it's a kids show. Though I'm with those that wonder why Mikey or Don didn't just hit the Kraang with their weapons. I understand not stabbing or slicing something with flesh, but I know just about every cartoon has violence and they hit flesh with non sharp objects a lot.

*Eiko* · 10-29-2012, 08:45 PM

Just finished watching this episode fav so far love Metalhead and the roof top scene where Don used Metalhead to look at April just hilarious.

Darth Knuckles · 10-30-2012, 01:36 AM

Really enjoyed this episode too. It seems that the episodes so far are being shown a tad out of order. But this was a great episode for Donatello and the comedy was great again. I just hope we get to see Metalhead again in the future.

I want a metalhead bot for christmas!! It's so cute. I love the manhole cover shell!

I like it a lot:
Little cute Metalhead.
Guys rolling/flip over their shells.
Fight action!
Don and April at rooftop!

SuperLOL! Adorable cute!!!!
Raph feeding with a leave to Spike. Awww!!!!
Leo´s face when he is in front of TV ....Same face like me when I see this Show!!!!!

Splinter and Don about stuff /weapons improvement!

Splinter conforting Don at end....anyway he keeps inventing!!

Surprise about April going alone without any of the guys for help her just in case!

She is going to be an strong character!

Love this show!

*TheBlueTurtle1* · 10-30-2012, 03:34 AM

I have to say, I was a little unsure on how they would use metalhead, infact I did not expect that good an ep, but was I wrong. Again funny, well thought out and action packed. I am loving Rob`s Donny. I LOL when he was talking about April and she could hear everything. LOL

Great stuff......sigh..... I love this show........

*VaughnMichael* · 10-30-2012, 08:59 AM

Metalhead was cute and all but I'll have to say out of the bunch this is my least favorite episode.
I think it's like CyberCubed said about him not having his own personality that was sort of a bummer for me.
I've pretty much enjoyed everything so far in this series especially the humor but I need to rant for a moment.
START RANT

Spoiler:

END RANT
On another note I'd like to say I crave pizza once more because of this show lol

It's not that I didn't like Leo before, I've just often felt like he was too perfect. He's the leader, he gets to have swords (not saying they're the coolest weapon, but he gets to sword fight other ninjas), he's the most calm and collected, and sometimes the best fighter. It's just not interesting. In this series, we get to see him develop, we get to see him learn and grow. That's interesting.

koenne · 10-30-2012, 02:27 PM

Seen it to , up until now I really dig the new show ,and love the new toys!

*Donnie* · 10-30-2012, 03:07 PM

Best episode for me. I loved how it was Donnie-centric, obviously - great character development.

It was also (in my opinion) one of the funniest episodes, the array of quotes we're all laughing about is testament to that. I especially liked when Donnie kept staring at April via Metalhead. Haha, truly entertaining!

Loving this series so much.

Keno · 10-30-2012, 03:45 PM

I really enjoyed this episode. Made me laugh and had tons of great action. Gotta say I love some of the detail, like at one point when Don was talking you could faintly hear a subway in the background and stuff like that.

Is there a way to see the preview for next week?

What I am hoping is that when Don fixes Metalhead, he installs him with a personality chip to make him his own character. Would be a good way for him to get a second ep.

Well, maybe they have the next preview on the Nick website. I'm disappointed that they don't show the preview for next week's ep after the current ep though. I really like seeing that beforehand so I have a handle on what the ep will be about.

I think the Raph and Don friction came from the 2007 film, as they certainly never gave that vibe in 2K3.

I'm still coming to terms with Rob Paulsen being snarky and aggressive to a character he used to voice. XD

START RANT Spoiler: I'm also now glad we didn't get much April until now and hope we get even less. I think she may be my least favorite April out of all of them. Her design seriously needs some work and her hair needs to be less shiny. Her attitude stinks from what we've seen of her even if it's not been much, but if this is who the new April is I hope they rescue her father quickly and we don't see her again. The Don thing with her is creepy and she just comes off as a total b1tch. END RANT On another note I'd like to say I crave pizza once more because of this show lol
