Official Episode Discussion S2 #24 "Into Dimension X!"

[kolaida]

I loved it! Every second of it!

[Warhorse]

Great episode.

Spoiler:

Did anybody catch the implied impaling of a Krang by LH? And the whole Raphael vs the Krang droid in a boxing match, I saw something similar in Captain America 2, which was awesome. And Leo ignoring his first rule about not touching anything! He really is a teddy bear on this show when not provoked.

Its just we are so eager to watch the episode and if you watch a program its only natural to want to talk about it. What if,from now n if Nick released an episode prematurely online you post a link to it in the episode guide thread and let Machias create the thread for it once she has tine after its discovered.

Man, that episode was absolutely fantastic. Dimension X looked awesome and it was great to finally get a new setting for an episode. I hope Nick ups their budget a little for S3 so they can explore some new locations.

So great to finally have Leatherhead back.

Also cool to see Traag again with Granitor at his side (even if they didn't really change the design outside the color scheme).

That is a good method for future episodes... However from now on I'll just let you all create the threads... This episode was very special to me, and I was very eager to celebrate it.

I wouldn't say that, I like the formality of it.



I liked this episode. I loved how Zany Dimension X was. That giggling thing with the green mist on top of the monster made me laugh out loud.

[Luckyday]

Me through out the entire episode.

ooo-kay, either Nick isn't relying on TV ratings or whomever is operating the Nick website is going to be fired soon.

Still, it's nice to get these a week ahead of schedule. True, I have to sit through Lego Friend commercials and Dolphin Tale 2 trailers, but it's worth it! Besides, I'm still contributing to the show since I already bought the seasons in full on iTunes, so hopefully that counts for something.

This was a great Mikey episode, especially for someone who has never been a huge Mikey fan, no matter what version it is. (Take that back. IDW Mikey's pretty sweet.) I just wish they wouldn't force his goofing up humor so much. Like him, pulling the TV to show Donnie the show or just banging the communication device against the wall. I get how the episode is supposed to teach us that Mikey shouldn't be underestimated and how he's not always a goof, but I feel they sort of hammer it in a bit too hard at times. They're trying to pull him down to Patrick Star level and that's not right. Just because Mikey's "the wild one", doesn't mean he's totally incompetent.

I like how there's a time differential between dimensions, but it makes me wonder something. True, Mikey went into the portal 15 seconds ahead of his brothers. Soon, Raph and Leo followed behind, and Donnie went in like 3 seconds after them. According to that math, wouldn't Raph and Leo have been in there a few days/months ahead of Donnie? Yet all three got in at the same time?

.....I'm just nitpicking, aren't I? Still, it does sort of make you wonder just how much time differs from our dimension. They destroyed the Kraang facility, so it would take the Kraang months or even a few years in their time to rebuild before another invasion starts, which means that the invasion could happen at any moment in our world......

hey, does anyone know where I can find a gif of Mikey's head exploding from "Pizza Face" because that's pretty much what's going on in my head right now. And I call myself a Doctor Who fan....

Maybe they're taking notes from Legend of Korra and seeing if it works for them?

Look, unless you are an actual nielsen family member, you have nothing to worry about if you watch the show online a week before or not. And even then, the nielsen members are really only about 5,000 to 25,000 households. Kind of pathetic when you realize more than 300 million people live in this country. They are probably getting tons of money from toy sales as it is, and maybe they are also generating money from increased traffic on their website, so don't sweat it about ratings.

yea I had that problem too......I feel so bad for not enjoying it as much as I wanted to because I didn't like the goofy humor....Mikey has been stuck there for months (I'm guessing) and he seems totally fine...

but other than that it was pretty cool :3 much better than last episode!

I had that feeling for like five minutes but then I'm all like "aw screw it. It's Mikey's time to shine." but still...it's a tinesy bit ham fisted just watching this episode had made me realized of how much I love Michelangelo. Hell. This whole episode felt like fan service made especially for me.

That's what I'm saying! I had this whole prediction set up where Mikey meets these rebels who had been fighting the Kraang and he helps them out in order to save Leatherhead, but then messes up and the rebellion gets ruined, thus making him go through this huge character change. Like he vows never to be a goof again and he becomes bitter and angst-ridden. Either that or living in that place all that time has sort of toughened his skin and made him grow up faster, like what Robin Williams' character in Jumanji went through.

I really hope they go back to making him immature instead of just...stupid in the next season. I can't say I've been crazy about the character development this season.

Nobody noticed Mikey called them Traag and Granitor?

Leatherhead said Traag's name out loud once.

[CyberCubed]

I loved the gag of Mikey thinking they were TV characters and people were watching them.

Also save to say the Turtles will be watching a new show in Season 3, since the anime show is over like the Star Trek one before that. Wonder what they'll watch next?

Hard to do those when Nick is releasing the episodes so early. Not your fault, really.
