Yeah, I'd thought Shredder was also going to say "you should eat more"

Can somebody post a pic of both Turtle Teams interacting, please?

They don't interact which each other in the episode

I don't understand how we know Slash and Newt are teaming up. Does someone have access to future episodes?

I was laughing when April thought Casey was touching her LOL. His face had such a confused look LOL. So glad to see Casey so involved with the group and active.

I LOVED THIS. Why wasn't it on the poll. Seriously.

If you can't see the episode, here's an audio recording of the 80s turtles.

Rob sounds exactly the same. The others flick on and off a bit but obviously we have to remember they've all aged 25 years so it'll be harder to get their voices to that higher pitch.

Few screenshots as well and they're NOT from the trailer we got earlier this week with the portals. They're full screen too.

"Kraang detects inferior weaponry" was my favorite quote from this episode, wish that was an option

*ObiWanFan4life* · 03-02-2014, 04:10 PM

How was Shredder holding his breath for that long?

Thanks for those shots. The kid in me got a huge smile out of seeing them at the end. I need to watch this episode at least 10 more times.

*raph27* · 03-02-2014, 04:54 PM

Best ep of the series.

Tiger Claw was amazing.
More Capril, also DAT JUMPSUIT!

Eww....that's where mutagen comes from?

CHEESE PHONE!
Awesome speech, Mikey.
Return of Kurtzman yay!
The part where April thought Casey was touching her.......

Karai/ Miwa BUM BUM BUM
"Bradford, you look terrible."

Last part was THE BEST. OT!

*blindturtle02* · 03-02-2014, 05:05 PM

What a ride! Glad they didn't stop after episode 13 and go on hiatus until April because we would have been left with Karai poised to despense with Splinter! Part 1 was great. Nice debut of TigerClaw. The episode was very tigercentric while focusing on the B story in tantalizing morsels. Part 2 had some terrific Shredder moments and loved seeing the 87 turtles even if it was a cameo. I think the best is yet to come regarding them. The big fight toward the end of pt 2 with Shredder and co was amazing. And yes, also wondering if TigerClaw is trapped elsewhere!

Glad the writers revisited Kirtzmen in pt 2. So his first name is Jack, huh?

When April and Casey did the whole stop that/stop what bit, I was expecting April to tell Casey that her hands were dirty etc etc. Granted, they weren't aboard a YT-1300 light freighter, but that little bit of dialogue had this Star Wars fan grinning from ear to ear. Yeah I know. May not have been anod at all but I thought it was pretty cool. Now if only amazon instant video would acquire this episode! You lucky iTunes users, you. Amazon instant vid is being very slow about acquiring this two parter today.

*MikeandRaph87* · 03-02-2014, 05:07 PM

So I am watching it now and two questions already,why does Tiger Claw use blasters when he is supposed to be a skilled ninja? It should just be for occasional use like Shredder(1987).

Also,cheese phone?

What the heck happened to a commuicator? It went from intense to chees like that literally and figuratively!

Why is this online two weeks early? Not that I am complaining!

Lightjump · 03-02-2014, 05:23 PM

Was I the only one confused about the way the ep was on the nick website, and ITunes? Was there a tv screening or what? Besides that, great episode!
The new villain Tiger Claw is great and a real sort of serious character that makes the comedy surrounding him sort of below par. The plot was gret and my favorite part was wen Casey was talking about Cricket and crumpets, nic through back on the writer's part

Though the most disturbing thing was the Kroymadon's (that's what they where called right?) behind, those creepy baby faces will haunt my dreams for years.

Over all, great episode!

I don't believe they ever claimed he was a skilled ninja, I think he was billed as a mercenary assassin.

Anyone getting Boba Fett vibes from Tigerclaw?

But now, Fishface and Rahzar are seeming way too much like Bebop and Rocksteady. Mikey was dodging and fighting Rahzar ALONE like it was easy. That is a huge nerf on Rahzar. Mikey couldn't even beat Dogpound alone. And that could be true about Tiger Claw, I mean he does seem very skilled.

Yes, Rahzar got nerfed hard. I can agree that the turtles may be improving, but Mikey should have still been at his limit. Nick is making Rahzar seem like a joke now and I didn't see that coming.

I agree with you on all of this. Plus both Rahzar and Xever seemed to have become too subservient, I'd thought they have a bit more 'fight' in them. And you are right, Razzy got nerfed.

Lastly I was also puzzled by Xever's comment- has he accepted being a fish now, with his remark about a 'tuna woman?' I'd kind of hoped he would still strive to be human again.

Definitely! He had a jet pack as well didn't he? Fiance says she thought she saw him using one of those. I mentioned Boba prior to that, so she might have had Mandalorian armor on the brain.
