I was waiting to see Raph without a mask! They teased us!

This is my new favourite Leo Episode!

The whole thing just had an eerie tone that I love and it juxtaposes perfectly with Leonardo's recovery. It's one of those cleverly implemented horror elements integrated with existing TMNT lore that the Nickelodeon Series just has a perfect grasp on.

Great pacing, tightly written and well-focused. Just a fantastic start to Season 3!

Personally I kept thinking they would find Raph and whatever that was would turn out not to be him at all. Yeah, that bit was kinda odd. o.O

*Donatello19* · 10-03-2014, 06:48 PM

I'm still quite confused about what happened to Raph, exactly. Was he the leafy dog thing, or...?

*snake* · 10-03-2014, 06:49 PM

The april/creep chase scene was a great homage to Jason. The Creep slowly trailed after April, yet still got the best of her.

He was the leaf thing. Creep absorbed him and probably mutated him.

*CyberCubed* · 10-03-2014, 06:52 PM

I find it odd that Seth Green did not even try to imitate Biggs

Ok but then how did the Creep make him a plant? How did he take him out of his turtle body? And most importantly, how did Don put him back in the turtle body?

still think it would've been better if raph was literally inside creep and they had to slice creep open in order to get to him but oooo well

They didn't hire him to imitate Biggs.

Don extracted the mutagen out of Creep and injected it back into Raph. Creepy probably mutated Raph somehow.

Do you still sound like you did when you were 15? Voices do change, especially for males. It's nice to see the show reflect this!

"injected it back into Raph"...? What do you mean? Did they have Raph's unconscious turtle body? Or did he inject it into the flower/plant?

*pannoni1* · 10-03-2014, 06:55 PM

A fine beginning to what appears to be a refreshing change of pace. It begins in a similar matter to Mirage #11 about April and her Diary, yet it gives the creepy vibes that likely scared more than a few kids tonight. I liked that retro cartoon with a 1981 copyright on it which Mike was watching (complete with old-school sound effects), and this proved that you don't need any real enemies with a background and still have a good episode in which that mutagen at night happened to be. It just happened so fast, that after the deer got scared away, it turned into one of those creepfests. That was a great soundtrack backing the action. I just wish Nick hired a better replacement Leo. Overall: 8/10

Leo's lungs were damaged and he's becoming more mature. He's going to sound different.

*IndigoErth* · 10-03-2014, 06:56 PM

I kinda figured Raph had more inflicted with like a plant-like infection or something, like mossy crap on him rather than him being it. Since he still had a humanoid shape and all.

They took the flower and Donnie injected mutagen into it. I guess Donnie touched flower raph, so he (somehow) mutated back into his normal self.

Don't try to make sense of it.

Ramboraph was right to get a little ticked off after reading the synopsis of the episode. It was even worse than I expected as a Raph fan. I just wish they did with Raph what they did with Mikey and Donnie, just have him tied up unconscious. They made it uneccesarily complex and complicated.

Yeah, you're probably right. The more I think about it the more problems I find with it
