Why Northampton has so much potential

[BubblyShell22]

No, I would rather their vision quests happen while they're at the farm considering they're all still healing from their loss and such. It would give great development for them before they're motivated to go back to New York and take back their city. And it would fit since we know Leo's probably still going to go through some trauma because of the attack and possibly that could be what his vision quest is about as well.

Thirteen episodes set at the farmhouse really has me pumped for this season. If truth be told I was losing interest in the show. The crazy scheduling was making it weird to watch episodes e.g. one ep a week then a month break, etc. I was also getting bored of the constant mutations. This show will benefit massively from binge watching. The **** scheduling has probably lost the show many viewers.

[BubblyShell22]

Yes, I agree the scheduling has been messed up, but I hope we get quite a few episodes before another break.

Let's hope so. I really ****ing can't be bothered with two month breaks. The plus point of course is that there was zero delay between the climax to season 2 and the start of season 3.

[NoName999]

Wait there's actually gonna be 13 episodes in Northampton?

Are you kidding me?

What could they do 13 episodes in a row?

[Gunpowder]

I really like that Northampton is always a thing with the Turtles. Especially with this show. NYC was becoming...old. For me, at least. Like you said, it has potential. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that they dedicate at least one episode (it can be filler, I don't care) with everyone just reflecting and honing their skills. Something laid-back. But that's only a hope. Something like that would bore kids, so I don't see it happening.

I noticed that, as well. I'm really glad they went with that, instead of making us wait another week for it.

I consider that good news, personally.

Lots of scope for character development.

Yeah, me too. Breaks between television seasons can be irritating, albeit necessary.

I agree. It's gone from 3.5 million viewers now down to 1.4 million. That is really low. It's probably mostly due to the scheduling and lack of promotion. But, it's possible maybe people are tired of the mutants of the week too. I myself get bored with the Kraang plots. I like it much more when it deals with Shredder and the Foot.

But you aren't part of the main demographic either, so what those in our age range want isn't going to hold much weight.

Personally, the ratings probably fell for the other reasons, bad promotion and moving the show around too much...by the sounds of it or the fact that some may watch it online and that data, to my knowledge isn't counted or taken into consideration.

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, they did have eps online for a bit, so that could have something to do with it, too.

Also, they could do a lot with the Turtles in Northampton, and I really hope they'll have their vision quests there and develop themselves further in their minds, bodies, and spirits.

[Davetello]

Northampton is home to some of the best stories in the franchise.

[drgon78]

So what are these north Hampton stories you speak of?

That long break was strictly due to the movie being released. We shouldn't see anything like that now aside from the normal breaks that all shows take around the holidays.

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, but it was still a big blow that we had to wait so long. But I agree that we shouldn't get too many breaks now that season three has started.

[pannoni1]

I feel that promotion will be key to future success of Nick, and what I'd love Playmates to do is to release a Northampton playset and include add-ons such as trees and a river. Just don't forget the heritage in terms of comics; have an episode themed around creating a new series of comics, prefably a spoof (Lightning Mutant Judo Snails) to throw a bone and to create new allies and villains.

[BubblyShell22]

I'd love it if they showed Mikey writing stories or drawing. I'm glad they had April writing in her journal, but it would be awesome to see Mikey doing something like that, too.

[Leofan26]

I hope the writing to this arc improves over time, so far it's meh to me. Prove wrong writers, prove me wrong :lol

I think this arc defiantly has a chance to be great but..

Fair point.

[Candy Kappa]

Just saw a clip of one of the new episodes, and I'm in total love with Seth Green as Leo. He sounds great.

An episode like that IDW issue would be so good. Too bad they don't have a character like Woody to write back home to.
