Dude I totally saw ALL of that coming! Get with the program. LOL!

Absolutely fantastic episode. What looked to be just a comedic filler completely blindsided us with an awesome twist. Shredder's building quite an arsenal for himself in one way or another. Seriously, Rahzar, Fishface, Tiger Claw, possibly Baxter Fly and an assembly line of Mousers, an army of both human and robo-foot, Karai, AND himself. I'd love to see a huge all-out brawl between them and the Turtles plus all of THEIR allies at the end of the season. THAT'D be a season finale to remember.

T-U-R-T-L-E POWA! · 11-16-2013, 11:07 AM

Another question I have is how did Baxter not die from electrocution? Also has Fishface always had that tank on his back? I couldn't remember because it's been a while since we've seen him. I thought it looked kinda cool and would maybe even like to have a variant figure with it on his back. Also have Dogpound's eyes always looked like that too? I just thought that for some reason he looked more "menacing" in this episode than I have seen him look in the past. I still like the Rahzar design much better though. That's gonna make a KILLER toy you guys!

I thought it was really awesome how Dogpound absolutely demolished a Mouser by simply dropping his fist on it. I love how the villains in this version really give you the impression that they are a true threat to the Turtles.

*BubblyShell22* · 11-16-2013, 11:11 AM

Whoa. That episode was epic! I loved everything about it, and I yelled, "Holy sh*t!" when Mikey named the new DP Rahzar. Now he just needs a Tokka and they'll be complete. I loved the Turtles making breakfast and Xever lamenting about not getting laid. Also loved how DP missed his humanity, but now he's an even scarier mutant. The centrifuge did look like the one in "Parasitica" but maybe it did get destroyed. Not sure on that one. I also thought Baxter was going to be a fly, but not yet. Soon though. I also gasped when they got electrocuted like that. I thought for sure we'd lose Rahzar, but we didn't. Overall an epic episode.

Fave quotes:

Mikey: Ahhh! I'm a mutant!
Leo: He's just realizing this now?

Mikey: Ha, you got shellshocked, son!

Raph: Hey, look, Mikey brought his own pizza and it's his face. Okay, that was too far so come over here and zit down. Get it? Zit down? I crack myself up.
Splinter: Raphael! You should not make fun of someone else's appearance. How do you think the humans above would look at you and think?
Raph: You're right, Sensei. Sorry, Mikey.

Mikey: Is this the centrifudge?
Don: It's centrifuge, and no that's a beaker.

And that's all the quotes I can remember that stuck out for me. See you next week, guys.

I just realized the show hinted Xever missed getting laid.

Or it's setting something up. Bradford doesn't miss being human for the sake of being human but it sure sounds like Xever does. But I do want that as an mp3

*ObiWanFan4life* · 11-16-2013, 11:26 AM

Wow, just wow. This was the first episode of the second season that actually wowed me. For one, I'm glad that Bradford and Xever haven't been written off in the show, mostly because It's always good to hear Clancy Brown. I enjoyed seeing Stockman again. And I loved it when the show pulled a Joss Whedon on me by introducing Rahzar who reminds me alot of Sabrewolf from Killer Instinct. Now as always, time for my Meaningless Gripes with the episode:

· How was the beam that Mikey was holding onto capable of suspending both his and Dogpound's combined weight?

· Also, Mikey must be working out a lot since he's capable of maintaining his grip on a the beam while Dogpound has him by the leg.

· I can buy Rahzah (And Fishface to a lesser extent) being able to survive electrocution since hey, mutagen. But how is Stockman, an ordinary human being, still alive after being electrocuted like that?

But I digress, I give this episode a 9/10.

I wonder as well.. I really like how Fishface looks, so I don't want him to mutate, but after seeing how awesome Dogpound got..

"Some kind of lowly bug, I bet" I could be wrong, so I'm tentatively calling "Foreshadowing" on that line.

*NinjaPug* · 11-16-2013, 11:46 AM

Great episode. The title and description didn't have me expecting much but that was fantastic.

- Great to see the return of FishFace and DogPound. There was some great character stuff with Bradford.

- Also good to see the return of Baxter especially now that he's back with the Foot. Nice foreshadowing for Baxter too.

- Liked seeing TCRI again. I'm surprised Donnie hasn't already gone there looking for equipment. Perfect place to run into Baxter again too.

- RAHZAR!!!! Did not see that coming at all. Amazing design (probably my favorite so far) and glad he still has Clancy Brown's voice. I hope we get an official design of him from Nick. My only complaint is that we don't get DogPound anymore.

*Powder* · 11-16-2013, 11:54 AM

Aside from reinventing an old character, it would seem this episode didn't have any easter eggs, eh? Or did I miss/forget them?

Also- Did the lyrics in the theme change from 'incredible team' to 'crazy team', or am I incredibly crazy?

Also pt. 2- Is it just me or did Raph seem a darker shade of green in this one?

*CyberCubed* · 11-16-2013, 11:56 AM

I wish Shredder appeared at the end and screamed, "BABIES! They're BABIES!!!!"

*MrTMNT2012* · 11-16-2013, 11:57 AM

This is on par with 'The Gauntlet' in terms of surprise factor!

HOW DOES THIS SHOW KEEP GETTING BETTER?!

Very fond of Dogpound's new form.

That wouldn't make any f**king sense.

Yeah, it would've been a shout-out without any sort of context.

T-U-R-T-L-E POWA! · 11-16-2013, 12:07 PM

Since Karai mentioned Footbots does that mean there aren't gonna be any more human Foot Soldiers?

Here's hoping the Razhar toy will be less crappy than the Dogpound toy.
