I like the idea of Irma being an alien conspiracy nut and having a crush on April would be cool but I doubt they would get away with that on Nick.

For all we know, she could be an alien conspiracy nut who has a crush on April.
I don't think Nick it's ok with lebianism yet...

If they can get away with porn, I think they can get away with implied lesbianism.

I don't even understand why people would want Irma to be a lesbian.

The whole point of her character was how "boy crazy" she was in the original toon. She was always trying to get a date and always wanted men to notice her, but because she wasn't very attractive she could never get a guy.

The joke is Irma's character is the type of girl who desperately wants a man but simply isn't attractive enough for anyone to notice her.

I have a feeling she's going to be a riot grrl with an attitude problem that hits it off with Raph.

Uh..."get away with porn"? How was Nick or any TMNT series/episode was able to get away with that? ...Um, just wondering what you are exactly saying or implying with that statement. That's all...

LOL, yeah I remember that... But that was an "under the radar" adult joke of sorts that kids wouldn't get immediately, unlike teenagers and adults. I assumed when Avatar Yuffie said "porn" it was referring to a more explicit depiction (if the sub was "rockin' all over") and not suggestive (anime heart, which Nick used).

Just now noticed that funny little ornament hanging off April's phone. But what is it?

Looks like a puppy or a rabbit. Something that's weird is that April had such a cutesy/girly phone (the charm and the heart design/stickers on the back) but her laptop is covered in gothic/heavy metal/hardcore stickers.

One of things that I could see to improve Irma's character and to interpret her into the Nick show is turn her into a high school teacher and reason why is because I want there to be more parental figures in the show. Also instead having just guy problems, it could be just one of the many other things that she has bad luck with like her job, money and many many other issues along having to live in the sewers with the turtles cause she just lost her house.

Since they made April a teenager then Irma should be as well.

I just think that having more teenagers would moot the point that April doesn't have a lot of friends other then her mutant comparadas.

Yeah, but how would April relate to Irma? I think it's better to have Irma be one of April's only human friends outside of the Turtles.

Her connection would be being April's high school teacher. Come on, they could have Doc Brown and Marty McFly dynamic going.

Don't forget though, we already saw a hint of Irma on April's phone in one episode, and under her picture was 'Weird Friend' or something like that. That seems like something odd to call one of your teachers, so...I'unno. It just fits better IMO if she's a friend (or acquaintance rather, maybe) of April, rather than an adult in her life.

I have my own hopes for Irma though - I'm hoping that, if they include her, she'll keep the 'looking for love in all the wrong places' thing from the OT, and while Donnie is crushing on April, she can crush on one of the other Turtles (Raph, perhaps, as I see him taking it the worst and providing the most comedic reactions?) - an inversion of the Donnie/April thing, I suppose.
