Yeah my 4 year old still asks when is he coming back. Oh before this episode I saw Slash in a commercial. He wasn't that much bigger than Mikey it looked. I was surprised he was short.

No Worries!

Today's episode was very fun. I feel bad for Donnie kinda losing April, but I'm looking forward to see how things are going to develop between April and Casey.

I'm curious about Karai and the Kraang. She can't exactly tell Shredder that they stopped her from getting April, cuz then she'd be the target of HIS wrath. But there's going to be some serious distrust between the two parties.

My little bro keeps asking too.

Anyways, can someone post that commercial? I didn't catch it.

The thing is, the way they're presented, they feel like new characters to the kids watching. They're not reliant on nostalgia to make them work.

I don't think it matter much when the name is self explanatory.

The shippers are justified with DonXApril, KaraiXLeo and AprilXCasey though. There's hint of it in the actual show, some of them one-sided, but they are there.

The real problem is when fans make up BS like 'ooooh look at the way Don fought Karai in this episode, you can feel the tension between them' and they start making up DonXKarai conversations/fan art. THOSE are real shippers, when they start talking stuff like CaseyXKarai or AprilXMikey just cause they shared a random scene together or happened to say two words to each other.

Yo Beaker Stockban need to get to work on those Foot Robots, they fallen so much into disrepair April can beat them now.

Gin Rummy · 11-23-2013, 10:05 AM

This was a pretty good episode. I really enjoyed Chrome Dome. I just hope this is the not the only time we'll see him.

Or worse...when shippers become incest obsessed. I saw pornographic MikeyXRaph art once. I was scarred. For life.

Fanfiction.net is a major offender of that.

Let's get back on topic shall we?

Oh Zutara. You so crazy.

@Powder: It always fills my heart with joy whenever someone notices the same references as I do. Especially if they are Troma

Never would I thought I put Troma and Casey Jones in the same sentence and that is what makes the reference even more awesome.

@ObiWanFan4life: Yeah I know

I am not saying for him to play regular or key character on the show but perhaps just guest star in one episode. I am not saying (for example) Colin Baker to voice Fugitoid. Although I am not against that either

@CyberCubed: You really despise this show don't you ? Maybe I need a new pair of glasses but I have yet to see you write anything positive about the show since it debuted.

kelligrafie · 11-23-2013, 10:10 AM

The spoilers are killing me. Cannot WAIT to see this episode.

I don't get it... do you get off to kids not knowing the characters? Like... do you go to Toyrs R Us, see a kid pick up a Mutagen Man figure (whenever they release one that is) and act like 'Ha-ha!!! I knew that characters years before you did! Noob!!!!'.

As far as they know, they KNOW the characters, at least as how they're presented in THIS show. And besides... TMNT isn't a NEW show. Of course they'll be callbacks. It's like they bring in Catwoman in the second season of Beware the Batman (if it gets one) and saying 'more old characters the kids don't know'.

But those characters were generally minor characters. We're not talking about the big ones like Karai, Baxter, Rat King, and Leatherhead.

These are minor support villains from the old series that people never expected to see again. I certainly never expected Mutagen Man, Rahzar or ChromeDome to return.

*Coola Yagami* · 11-23-2013, 10:14 AM

Honestly I'd rather they scrap 'Not-Chrome Dome' and make an improved Chrome Dome 2.0 that looks more like the real deal.

And you want to rub this into kids' faces why exactly....?

Man we should be grateful Cybercubed doesn't run a train. He really knows how to "Derail" a situation eh? Eh? Aww......

I loved this episode. It's great to be replying the day it airs this time. The instant the robot came online I was like,"Oo is this supposed to be Chrome Dome?" He was one of my fav characters in the old show so it's awesome to be seeing this new version.
About time April patched things up with the turtles. And I'm wondering what's going to happen when Shredder finds out Karai has been doing things behind his back. Since she's learned deception from the master, it's fitting that some of it is being used against him. It's fantastic to see Karai in charge. Is she beginning to develop an agenda of her own? Could we eventually see her cutting her ties with the foot and venturing out on her own as a wild card?
