Official Episode Discussion: S2 #6 "Target: April O'Neil"

[Kevin G]

@Foot Soldier Clang: I already posted that it would be awesome if Lloyd Kaufman had a guest staring role on the show but the Toxic Crusaders appearing on the show would never happen.

@Purple Kraken:Your obsession with Casey being best friends with Mutagen Man is very scary.

Can someone please tell me if Timothy mentioned the name Nick in the two episodes he was in ? I re-watched The Pulverizer and The Pulverizer Returns and he did not say the word Nick or did Casey say the name Timothy.

That be would be hilarious if wasn't so true.

Great episode, first half felt slow, but the second half made more than up for it.

It seems Karai really crossed the line now by wanting to kill April, just so the turtles would lose someone as well. I don't think I saw Karai go that far yet. She's really being consumed by hate.


There wasn't any interaction between Karai and Leo, but given what Karai had just done and given the situation, it wouldn't have been the right moment anyway.

Loved Casey in this episode, and the last scenes with April and the turtles were very well done. I was really glad to see them all together again.

Kevin G, I never said I was obsessed with Casey being best friends with Timothy.

I said Nick could have something to do with both Casey's and Timothy's backgrounds. What is so scary about that?

[Candy Kappa]

Fun episode, but seeing they made good use of the CG model of Bradford's Foot uniform was a blast.

Wait when was it implied she knew the Kraang wanted April? See seemed not to know why the Kraang became interested when see mentioned April's name.

Casey didn't seem to have any surprised reaction what so ever to their being four armed, robot ninjas attacking their school.
I hate that the Foot Soldiers are all robots now. They seem almost as weak as the 80s toon Foot. Always makes the leader seem weak when they have mindless robots working for them rather than individuals they have recruited through manipulation or because they follow the leaders beliefs.

[cryan]

In the episode Karai's revenge, she asked April why she's so important to the Kraang. I phrase "things are just out of our control" reminded me of the curse that Uncle Ben told Peter in the Spiderman comic "with great power comes great responsibility".

Another awesome episode!
Shredders mad at Karai....did she tell him bout Rahzar? I wonder why Shredder is kinda mad at the Kraang. But no, Karai doesn't listen and goes to the Kraang. WHERE is that lab? Looks like the Technodrome but I know it isn't. Robo-RadBrad looks cool...then commercial break.

Don stalking April was weird. Really Donnie? One thing I am confused about is is the robot manga show. Is it tapes or on TV?
April goes to Casey...to just hang out. Um......kaaaaaaaaaay. The foot bots were AWESOME with the saws and mace thingies. But how did hockey pucks knock them out when the turtles with NINJA WEAPONS could only barely do it?
The turtles go to the lab and fight Chrome Dome. Mikey was really great with all the "ooh, a plasma whip! Donnie, can I have plasma nunchucks?" then Don left.......which felt a little out of character. (Plus, how did April call him? She deactivated her T-Phone!) Donnie went and fought Karai. AWESOME fight. Don looked ready to kill her. Then the others came in the Shellraiser but it got thrown over. (Am I the only one who actually wants the Shellraiser destroyed? I just don't like it. Maybe it'll blow up in season 3.)
They defeat the villains yaaaaaaaaaaaay and then April came back. Which was good.

In Karai's vendetta the Kraang squid that the Shredder captured said they were trying to kill the Turtles because they were protecting April O'Neil and April was the key to their plans.

Karai doesn't completely trust the Kraang, she is aware they are just as much a threat as they are an ally. And she still doesn't quite know how April fits into all that is going on. And as much as she doesn't care about April, she doesn't want her to fall into the Kraang's clutches.

Definitely. I always thought that outfit of his was killer, and a shame to get rid of. May the creativity and resourcefulness of this series never cease!

[Zulithe]

Another great episode, couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Well okay, that's a lie: Chrome Dome deserved to have his own design, not re-use. Asset reuse is by far my biggest complaint with the series. I know there's been lots of explaining as to why it exists, but at least try to use it in places where it doesn't stick out. This was a totally new character and deserved his own look.

[Rooish]

This episode was pretty cool but incredibly rushed (the ending especially). I was not a fan of Leo, Raph and Mike's treatment of Donnie for "ditching" them, especially since when they found him again, he was clearly fighting Karai and protecting April. Whatever, I should expect no better from this show for the Turtles' relationships. :/

Loved Mikey with the flashy sword!

I suspect, like some others here, that since he was busted up, he'll be redesigned a little bit to better resemble an actual robot.

It's possible, but also likely she didn't either. She might not even know what happened since Bradford and Xever haven't returned yet (as far as we know of course, since this episode didn't show them.) It could be pretty much all she knows is that she sent Bradford, Xever and Baxter out to do stuff in the lab, Turtles show up, all three don't return. That often indicates failure. Since Shredder and Karai likely don't care about their henchmen, they might not go look for them, but might write them off as dead if they don't return. Plus he'll have to spend valuable time looking for replacements now, which would make him angry.

But this is just speculation. We won't know anything until we see Bradford and Xever again, and that might not be for a bit.

Yeah...I'm pretty sure what Ciro meant was that Mutagen Man will play a key role in shaping Casey into the Casey we all know and love.

[Shark_Blade]

Love it!!!!

I've never heard of Chrome Dome all my life so not so much loss I guess. Kinda hope they use other model than Bradford's armor, or at least explain why they're using it.

It looked like Apritello is at an end, but nope I expect more since Rob Paulsen did say there's gonna be a lot of rivalry between Don and Casey.

I love how Donnie landed all those attacks on Karai!! Even Leo barely scratched her. The power of love and all that jazz.

And I'm glad April's back into the team. ^_^

How do you honestly not know who Chrome Dome is? Are you a younger fan?

[Cure]

Yeah, God forbid someone doesn't know every Goddamned minor f*cking character from 20 years ago.

[psychturtle]

Any one else already mention that chrome dome looked a lot like the original mirage comic shredder?
