Official Episode Discussion: #24 "Operation Breakout" - Page 8

When Raph shaked the computer, did it make the secret message play correctly?

I don't understand why suddenly the message was clear, they did nothing special (except shaking the computer!)

Did Raph really fart on Donnie at the beginnning, or was it the sound of Donnie "out of breath" because he sat on him?

I'm choosing to believe the latter because I hate scatological humor, but considering that it's a show aimed at preteen and teen boys, I know I'm deluding myself.

JH24 · 07-28-2013, 04:24 PM

^

After first watching it, the thought of Raph farting never occurred to me, I just thought Don was out of breath. But after re-watching it and reading Raphaeline's comment, it seems likely it was a fart.

Nothing against that kind of humor, but I think I'll "delude" myself as well by sticking with the out of breath part.

Anyway, very good episode. Donatello got his moments to shine, and there was a good side-plot with the other turtles. Well written, some fun moments and interesting developments. Definitely one of the better episodes of this season.

Solid, enjoyable and at the very least worth another re-watch. Also loved the comments of the other turtles about Donatello's feelings for April. I don't think I ever heard their view/opinions on it before.

Wait... what was that I heard? The Newtralizer was actually bad-ass and a threat to be taken seriously? Armed with bad-ass weapons and the dude even ate one of the Kraang???

Wanna remind me just WHY everyone here was so convinced that the Pulverizer was gonna turn into this guy?

I remember someone's justification was the two names sounded familiar

*Electric* · 07-28-2013, 04:59 PM

after seeing the picture of the beacon on kirbys neck, i cant help staring at his neck during all his seens in the episode and seeing how many times it was shown that i missed it

Raphaeline · 07-28-2013, 05:00 PM

In fact I didn't even think about the fart BEFORE seeing the poll of that thread, where the "Raph fart" was an option.

Then I rewatched that part and yes, it "could" be that, but I prefer thinking that it's the sound of Donnie being out of breath...

I'm dissapointed by the Newtralizer, he seems like a stupid villain shooting at everyone. I guess that he doesn't speak because he doesn't know english (the Krangs speak english very badly after all) and maybe later he will have some device to translate his voice or something.

Maybe Kirby did experiments on April when she was a kid? and so now she has special powers (I hope she is not a robot or something... I don't think she is, it would ruin the romance with Casey).

Maybe Kirby is THE FUGITOID !!!!

But yeah he has a tracking bot on his neck... is he aware of that? why the nasty look at the end? they talk about him as a "human" so I don't think he's a robot... so yes, maybe he's brainwashed...

And Raph was awesome in that episode, I loved how he said things harshly and honestly to Donnie in the beginning, then tried to help him at the end. That's cute

*Electric* · 07-28-2013, 05:11 PM

Theory on kirby:

Brainwashed-my opinion, the most likely one, and kind of explains the mean look at the end, and afterall, in parasitica, the kraang were working with brainwashing

Working with them-dont know how to explain it, but he could just be in on it, let himself be recovered to lead them to the turtles? Thats why he acted so normal other than the mean look, maybe thinking he can protect april by giving them the turtles?

Robot- hope and doubt its this one, since after all the kraang called him "the human" in this episode, and since kraang cant even get their own english right, i doubt they could make a perfect kirby

Actually evil all along- again, not sure how to explain, maybe if april isnt human, he was given her to raise when she was younger, and...preparing her? for the invasion?

I dont know if i missed any, but these seem to be the 4 most popular.

I was saying from the get go he wouldn't be Pulverizer. But there were many that didn't agree with me. The famous the names sound the same so they must be the same logic was used.

*Coola Yagami* · 07-28-2013, 05:42 PM

And here are my thoughts on the matter.

Nice!

So either that's another Kraang droid like Ms. Campbell, or Kirby's under some kinda mind control.

I'm thinking mind control.

Martin · 07-28-2013, 05:50 PM

I'm surprised by the amount of people that missed the tracker/mind controller on Kirby's neck. I personally think that it is a mind controlling device of some sort because, if you are going to plant a tracker on someone, would you really put it in plain sight? It wouldn't make any sense. However, it'd make sense to put a mind controlling thingy at the base of the neck, since from there you have direct access to the hosts nervous system. Besides, in the trailer for the finale, Kirby attacks mikey, so that further proves that he is either being mind controlled, or has been brainwashed. About him being the fugitoid, it'd be awesome, but I don't think it's likely.

I'm so out of the loop, but that would be AMAZING if that's who Kirby really is. I'm so not digging this whole Kirby and April aren't human scenario, but I would definitely make an exception for Kirby turning out to be the fugitoid. And I don't think the idea is really all that far-fetched, though I still hope it doesn't really effect what April is too much. Keeping my fingers crossed she says a regular human after all of this somehow.

i was also curious as to why it was in plain sight, as if he was a robot (which he is not), i would imagine it would be implanted, and if hes brainwashed, couldnt he just return and tell them where the lair is?

i never even thought that that could be the thing controlling him

*drgon78* · 07-28-2013, 07:18 PM

Does anyone have a pic of Kirby with this mind control device?

*Zulithe* · 07-28-2013, 08:43 PM

Ciro shared a link to the ign review on FB. He seems proud

I would be too.

*CyberCubed* · 07-28-2013, 08:45 PM

Newtralizer was much cooler than I expected. He seems kinda like a cross between Leatherhead and Mondo Gecko though.
