I did! As he was pronouncing it, in my mind I'm like "Is Raph saying... omg he is!" it's great to hear him say it. But I'm glad he's not shouting it all the time like Mikey

Raph is a bit more reserved on that kind of thing.

For a second as he was shattering I thought "oh snap they done killed snakeweed!" But I quickly realized they'd pull the same thing as S01E02... which is fine. I think it's a bit early to off him, he has some potential and a great design. But I would like to see them permanently take down some enemies in the future. We'll see. And let's not forget, because of his regenerative abilities it gives the turtles great opportunities to "kill" enemies in awesome ways (as seen in this ep) without there having to be major consequences. I like that part, too.

Man, I'm really surprised I'm the only one in here who brought up how badly it seems Shredder treats Karai.

You're right. But she seemed to be used to it, she didn't even act like she was taking him seriously until right at the very end of the convo. She's very callous from having grown up under Shredder's hard tutelage, no doubt. She's can take it.

Another point for my list:

* Leo vs. foot clan, reminded me of Raph vs. the foot in the first TMNT live action film. Wonder if it was meant to be an homage of sorts.

Well, they got to keep enemy's alive if there going to go with the whole "league of villians " thing.

Didn't seem so much like she was used to it to me. Did you not see the way her eyes widened at that one point? And directly afterward, she seemed scared there.

It's not that bad.
Turtle-Dino hunters are worse.

Loved it.

I hate that it's not airing here in Canada until next weekend though...stupid YTV

Keno · 02-01-2013, 08:29 PM

Also, why didn't Donny come along for the fight in the end?

Maybe because he is the smart one? Splinter may have wanted him there to figure out what was wrong with Mikey..

But more than likely Raph was just going to get Leo and bring him back.. something that they probably didn't think was going to get so dangerous.

That's because it's not a big deal at all and you're a Karai fanboy babying an imaginary character.

Dope as hell episode. Was really psyched to see Snakeweed return.

It actually reminded me more of Leo vs. the Foot Clan from the comics and 2k3 series. I wonder how Raph knew Karai was in the Foot Clan right away, or why Don didn't use his blade on his bo staff when fighting Snakeweed? Plus they actually used the K word twice!

LOL .. so what do you really think? OH god what if they make a Karai Plushie?

Avatar Yuffie · 02-01-2013, 09:22 PM

It's an episode of Raph trying the leader ropes and Leo longing for a sense of personal freedom, it makes sense the two of them realized an epiphany and faced Snakeweed together.

I love this episode. Karai is a very solid character. Love how she's "Oh, I'm ok with the Shredder's revenge thing but he needs a hobby." Kelly Hu nailed that line.

TheCollector · 02-01-2013, 09:24 PM

Y'know, I gotta say on a as far as I know lesser talked on topic, but Leo really needs to get some better role models in his life.

That Captain Ryan guy really seems more and more like a complete jerk/ass.

Psst.....that's the joke.

*Lethal Lullaby* · 02-01-2013, 09:32 PM

When I saw the beginning of this show I was like, "OMG SNAKEWEED!

"

Then I was like, "

wow. Did I really just do that?"

anyways I really liked this show and Karai was amazing.

Red-eyed Jaguar · 02-01-2013, 09:36 PM

I was purely amazed about this Episode!

Snakeweed's Lair kinda reminded me on 'Alien' and I liked it.
Mikey was just great..caring so much about that Pizza-Delivery-Guy, Rapheal's conflict with "I can't lead and protect my Brothers at the same Time" and of course the whole Karai/Leo Story (and on a random side-note: I feel oddly enough alright with those two, despite their species-differences).

I agree with many of here, the Balcony-scene with April was brilliant xD
She at first completly not interested to talk and he started to tap his Fingerstips nervously onto each other, telling her he met a Girl..suddenly she's all excited and want to know everything about it xD
This somehow reminds me on my Days in School: If it was about who had a crush on who, everyone wanted to know xD Ah well, Teenagers.

The ending Conversation was funny as well

"She threw her Sword at your Head!"
"She threw it nearly my Head."
and then this "Well, nobodys perfect"..Leo seemed so happy here. |D
