One of the things I like about this show so much is its the first version of them that actually makes me see them as teenagers. I feel like being a little girl-crazy is such an integral part of being a teenager that it has to be included. Granted, its annoying to see Casey and Donnie fighting and Donnie focuses on April a lot, but overall its an addition that I like.

I wish Karai did NOT have snake hands. I really wish she wasnt mutated in the first place.

I really liked the Tigerclaw episode where he and Splinter spoke Japanese. I wish elements like that could be used more often.

I don't mind the crush Donnie has on April but sometimes it can be a bit much. I'd make it more subtle and not have it such a huge part of the show. Also, I've seen fans say they ship a couple that's already been confirmed in a show so I don't see what the big deal is with using the word "shipping" but whatever. I mean it's not a term I would ever actually use in real life conversation, lol.

Everything else I've pretty much liked for the most part. I mean, I have some other things, but I would consider them nitpicky. Overall, I'm okay with things except the love triangle thing being so in my face. Though it does have some cute moments. I don't know, I keep waiting for it to grow on me, hasn't really happened.

Though, I have liked the Leo/Karai bits.

Seth Green as Leonardo. I'm just not feeling it yet.

What the heck is "Shipping" referring to?

I find it funny(but not surprised) that the shipping has the most votes.

I really wish the writers would let it go already

Biggs as Leo. I'm sorry I just flat out do not like Dominic's voice. I'm still trying to give Seth a chance.
Oh, or maybe April hanging out with the other turtles more.

Seriously, "shipping". What's that all about?

I can barely tell the difference between Biggs' and Catrambone's voice. That's why I liked his replacement so much. Green's voice however is far too much of a change that it feels jarring every time Leo opens his mouth now.

Can I just toss in a random one and say I'd like to change the fact that I don't think we ever saw Leo or Donnie's rooms? And now I guess the lair is a goner. (How sad to see it destroyed twice - movie and show - in the same summer.)

They'll rebuild it after they return, right?



R-right?

I really was hoping to see them during the invasion...was disappointed when they weren't.

Maybe when they return to NY and find a new lair they'll go back to the old one and see what else they can salvage and then we see their rooms. I wonder if Leo had a bunch of Space Gero memorabilia or Donnie with everything meticulously in place.

I'd also like to see Leo and Donnie's rooms. I bet they had some kickbutt merch on display. Well, Leo anyway. I'd imagine Donnie likes Scifi stuff too. He seems interested in most of the shows they're watching. Something tells me Donnie is very very organized and has everything picked up off the floor. All of his books and things are undoubtedly alphabetized etc. But yeah, they'll probably build themselves even better rooms when they get back.

"Shipping" is a term that means putting two people together. An example would be Apriltello or Raphril.

As for Green being Leo's voice now, I love it. It did take some getting used to at first, but I'm totally on board now and can't wait to see where he takes the character.

Love Rob Paulsen to death, but I'm soooo over April-tello.

Every episode is made worse with the constant Donnie-Casey fighting over April subplot.

I can handle plot amnesia. I can even handle the lack of Bechdel-Test passing episodes. But I'm so done with Donnie and Casey's utter fixation on April.

The writers should just let this ship sail for Belize.

It's not like it's a new term. Next you're going to tell me you've never heard of Rule 34.
