Something like such a small simple misunderstanding is too miniscule IMO. I think the EPF should be a more menacing force than that, less interested in the New York mutants as sentient beings and more interested in capturing and testing on them.

It just occurred to me, wouldn't opening and turning on that Kraang ship be the same as having a homing beacon for the Kraang.

Possibly, but didn't Kraang just left it there after they got April's mom?

Oh by the way.

I think it's more likely that the show would treat EPF as allies at first to destroy the Kraang. Then when the Kraang are gone, the show does the swerve and has EPF attempt to eliminate all things that the Kraang affected. Mainly April & The Turtles.

Also I saw some people state why The Kraang would be concerned with the Mom experiment being too dangerous. I kinda thought that was pretty obvious personally.

April is the only person on the planet they could use to achieve their goal of perfecting the mutagen to then obtain their other goals. The Kraang aren't trying to kill April, they're trying to capture her. They need her alive, meaning that anything that could ultimately endanger the life of April O'Neil would be deemed to dangerous to the mission of her capturing.

In this episode all of the Turtles plus Casey were in danger and April didn't want to go with her mom, so that's what triggered her powers. Or, as someone else said, maybe it only works around the Kraang.

Yeah, people complain about this, but seem to overlook the pattern of when it comes out for her. I noticed it's always when she's under duress and stress whenever the Kraang are involved. There has to be a connection there. In Target April O'Neil, she didn't go into super pyschic power mode or whatever. She was just caught by the Footbots and Karai.

IMO, I feel that April always has this power, but it will only be effective on the Kraang or anything connected or associated with them.

Maybe Kraang Prime did something unintentionally that brought out this hidden power. Remember how he was sucking away April's mental energy? Well maybe that cause a telepathic link to the kraang and the kraang themselves are a hive mind so if April is link to Kraang Prime then she is connected to all kraang.

What I was meaning is much like the Kraang detected the power cell in the pulverizer. Perhaps the Kraang would be able to detect that abandoned ship had been activated and think.

"The Kraang stealth ship we have abandoned at what is known as "O'Neil Farm" has been activated."

"Affirmative Kraang. Do you think we much do what is known as "checking it out?"

Ok that 's probably going to happen. It more of a justified excuse to have an action pack scene of them leaving the farm and when they have no where else to go, it will be the motivation that they need retake the city but only after making a quick pit stop to have that Splinter campfire scene.

Yup, that's exactly how it going down.

This episode was better that previous one. Loved April background story but the mom-thing was really creepy. Mikey acting more serious and he was right for not trusting "Mrs. O'Neil."

Donny's computer84 · 10-20-2014, 09:25 PM

The episode was good, suspenseful and a bit darker than previous episodes.

Karai Samurai · 10-20-2014, 11:09 PM

I wish I was able to watch episodes on time so I could participate in discussions. Oh well.

The episode was okay, albiet formulaic like some other posters said. It's Paratistica and Pizza Face for season three. Whatever. I don't find April's backstory (or powers, for that matter) remotely interesting, so hopefully they just pull a Zuko's mom and leave Mrs. O'Neill's fate a mystery. I still feel that Seth's voice is a bit too deep and miss the dorkiness of Biggs's acting, but I do love his acting. Mom Thing was incredibly creepy and gross. When her head split in half I was grossed out, but in a good way. Very holiday appropriate. By the way, I would have loved that scene if I was 10, for those who are saying it would have scared the younger viewers.

I'm not even going to comment on the romance. April's character is hopeless to me now. Again, no need to look for April's mother. They should use that time to find Karai and the real Irma. 7/10.

That could very well be. Nice theory.

Is anyone else excited for the possible return of the Punk Frogs? I really hope that is where they are headed with that final scene.

No. I hated them in the OT, and I dislike Napoleon Dynamite, so I have like, no interest in this next episode at all. I might catch it if I hear that it's really good, but other than that, I don't think I would care if I missed it or not.

*THGhost* · 10-21-2014, 06:58 PM

Finally got round to watching this last night. The Thing is one of my favourite films of all time, so naturally I highly appreciated it being used as the basis for this episode. Big thumbs up for that.

This episode actually made me feel like it would scare the living **** out of most little kids watching it though.

Renae Jacobs was great and I actually really liked Seth Green's performance this time around. Maybe it's because I'm slowly getting used to his voice or maybe it's because he didn't use his Chris Griffin voice as much this time, y'all know the one I mean.

His simple, straightforward deep voice is much more suitable for Leonardo.

Really excited to see what they do with the frogs, I always enjoyed them in the 80s show.

This is by far my favourite episode of this season so far. I do wish they'd get back to the main plot however.

Not entirely, there are people on here that act like some problems on the show are complete dealbreakers for them and that everyone else should treat them as such, and then still tune in next episode.

That is taking something too seriously, because it's clearly not serious enough to cease their viewing, despite their constant ranting of it. (I.E. Seth Green as Leonardo/Writing of Raphael)

But who knows anymore...

And who here has been acting like that? Cybercubed is about the only guy that constantly whines and cries that the sky is falling.

Or have we gotten to the point where criticism of the show in any form is frowned upon?
