I don't understand how IGN says the plot was thin. I thought it was fine.

8.0? I really don't understand his scoring system - I figured it would be just under 9.0. Thought this was a very strong episode.

Spoiler:

Interesting about Max is that he enjoys episodes that progress April's character and the whole shipping plot WAY more than any episode centred on the Turtles.

Even so, I'm disappointed by just how rushed this review was. "Plot was too thin"? And then he never explains why!

I normally don't care about the actual ratings but 8.0 is WAY too low...

*Cure* · 11-30-2013, 01:35 PM

How is an 8 not a good score? What's the matter with you people?

Also, the plot WAS thin. Turtles fight Slash and Leonardo has tea. THE END.

Doesn't make it a bad episode, though. It was good stuff.

*NinjaPug* · 11-30-2013, 01:44 PM

8 is a good score but I'm comparing it to some of the scores he's given other episodes. This is the lowest score of the season so far. I didn't think it was close to being the weakest episode of the season. Different strokes for different folks though.

I was personally expecting an 8.5, but Max is a guy that thoroughly enjoys the main plot of the story, which as you stated is April. This was an episode as stated was still a bit more filler than story for the time being, pretty dark and gritty, and we went from April getting back together with the turtles to her being no where to be found. So again not following the main plot line.

That said 8.0 is still the equivalent of 4/5, most people would dream of that.

But still, I think this episode should have gone before Mutagen Man Unleashed so that the April could be more followed on for the next 3 of 4 episodes. (I say 3 out of next 4 because I know what episode 8 is based around.)

Something tells me that Slash will end up with the Foot for a while after how he thought Raph betrayed him.

Training under the Shredder, he gets his revenge.

Hopefully Raph will find a way to get Slash to become good somehow.

I don't know, I hope he stays bad. He makes an awesome villain.

They showed a clip of it at NYCC, which was still in post-production mode at the time. Because so, all the episode production information was listed on it and for episode listing, was listed as "Episode: 208" which would mean Season 2, Episode 8.

*CyberCubed* · 11-30-2013, 02:10 PM

Funny, the Turtles collecting ooze containers is just a throwaway aspect to make it seem like the Turtles are doing something while they uncover new mutants, its not the main storyline.

Wow I missed that info. Cool. Didn't think we'd see Kurtzman so soon.

Good catch on that jth. Just went back and watched the NYCC panel - can't believe I missed that.

I kinda like the story when April is not in it

I have more enjoyment in filler than her plot to be honest.

Is it just me or has, after the 1st two episodes, this season straight been on fire? Every episode has been from great to superb.

Pretty much. I've liked every episode so far.

Season 1 had a few "Meh" episodes like Spiderbitez, the Cockroach, and the first Timmy/Pulverizer episode, but every ep of Season 2 has been great so far.

Torterra · 11-30-2013, 02:43 PM

That was a awesome episode it had good character development for Raphael, funny subplot with Leo and the mutagen canister, introduction of Slash all roll up it a kick ass episode for season 2. Liked what they did with Slash he quick, strong,stealthy and smart not to forget BRUTAL and loved and felt sad that even after all that Raph still try to save Slash from falling and I REALLY HOPE that snaps Slash out of it and he becomes a ally to the turtles like Ciro and Corey said. Who knows maybe this Slash will follow his IDW comics incarnation where was a villain first then become an ally. But anyway LOVED this episode
