Haha, I was just thinking the same thing.

Hey, Ciro, nice to see you back and feel free to drop by anytime. I won't complain.

And I don't think Brandon did a bad job with the ep at all. I thought it was well done and April Derp was freaky as all get out. This show is awesome, and it's all thanks to you, Ciro. Keep it up.

Yeah, what Bubbly said, Ciro. I may not be able to comment on anything from an artistic standpoint, but the story surrounding the turtles and the villains they face has always captivated me. Thanks for all the hard work you guys put into the show. April Derp was both terrifying and hilarious at the same time, and I liked Kirtzmen too. The episode did leave me wanting more, but I'm good with that since you and your team always deliver.

Exactly... just because this is not my favorite episode doesn't mean I hate everyone who wrote it!!! I had some really good chuckles in this one... poor Donny just gets harassed so bad

Nah I really liked it also but I didn't like any of the Casey episodes yet but I really don't like this new Casey he's kind of a douche.

I liked Mikey's messing with the Kraang droids. He apparently found April Derp funny as well, I guess. I feel sorry for her, not getting any hugs so close to Valentine's day and all that. But who's to say there aren't anymore surprises in that reject bin?

If he does get mutated, this character would be my bet.

I can totally see it happen now.

I loved the grotesque design of April Derp! The mouth on her back was hilarious touch to the design. I love the almost B movie sci-fi/ horror design of some of the mutants, alot better than just plain anthropomorphic animals for all the mutants. Its a really good mix of both I type of designs.

Yes, and very disappointed it didn't happen!

Which is really hard for me to believe.
I'll take April being a mutant over a teenager being able to take down 3 street thugs and a ninja turtle any day.

Yeah I did, I really feel for the idiot and wonder when they will get back to trying to find a cure.
I think an entire storyline will come from it though and Donatello will offer up the cure and perhaps Xaver will ask Donatello to turn him back to a human.
That would be very X-manish but hey what can ya do.

I sure as hell hope it does! I've been waiting for a toy of him since I was a kid! haha

*drgon78* · 02-10-2014, 10:27 AM

I also had the same problem with that episode as well. April was a better fighter then him in the episode with mutagen man. But he is a lot better then her a couple of episodes later and being able to hold his own against Raph of all "people"(Turtles). I mean at least April has Master Splinter training her and for months now at that, but were did Casey's skills come from all of sudden.

To single him out as the less appealing of the writers is a mistake.
For the record mutation situation was my favorite script and i personally think this weeks show was great.
He's a big part of the show, and we are lucky to have him here. He could easily leave, then i'd be screwed.

I really like both Mutation Situation and this episode so I'm in your wheelhouse.

In the Mirage comics April isn't exactly human either. She's a drawing come to life thanks to an alien/magical crystal attached to a pencil.

Welcome back to the forum, Ciro.

I've enjoyed all of the episodes presented thus far for both seasons, and I couldn't say that the franchise could be in better hands.

*shredder orokusaki* · 02-10-2014, 12:18 PM

Nice episode. Finaly now it is explained why april is powerful and has special powers. It is because she is part alien. But she can not be Kraang alien because kraang are totaly different than humans. So she might be part neutrino.

Juanita27 · 02-10-2014, 12:40 PM

I am still a little fuzzy on the April thing- maybe you guys can help.

Over all the thousands of years and gazillions of humans, why and how did the Kraang single out April's mom? If April is telekinetic, I am assuming this is from her alien DNA, so does that mean all the Kraang have these powers too (scary thought)?

And, I understand the Kraang need April's DNA to stabilize the mutagen, but what does stabilize mean? Make mutants similar to the turtles aka non- psychotic mutants?

I wonder if April being half whatever she is means she can safely breathe the air in dimension X.....?

*drgon78* · 02-10-2014, 12:59 PM

Well if the Krang water didn't effect her, I would be surprised if April couldn't breath in dimension X.

Or that would be what she is in general. They have pointed out that the Kraang have been experimenting with humans for centuries. So maybe there have been other people like April who are half human/half Alien mutants but April is the only one the Kraang know of.
