He knows how to communicate with pigeons, I don't recall that coming back up again this season. He's got a very noticeable scar on his plastron and shell. I thought we were told we would learn how he got those, but, I heard of nothing yet.

It doesn't matter, because it's 'just a cartoon'.
It doesn't matter, because if you complain about continuity in a cartoon...you'll get whipped.
It doesn't matter, because you're 'taking it too seriously'.
It doesn't matter, because people will defend it no matter what you say.
It doesn't matter, because Raph doesn't matter in this specific version.
It doesn't matter, because anything potentially cool that could be done with Raph will be put into the requisite 'dropping the ball', be screwed up, buried, slapped on, farted out, or quickly forgotten into thin air.

And, I'm sure others will be telling you this:




And yeah, I'm in Warhorse's corner on all that she has said.

Surely they're going to improve the mind control thing so they don't have to use worms... what good is it if they can be easily barfed up.

That's what I was thinking too. They didn't want to drag out Dark Raph because something else is in the works. But who knows? Only time will tell ^^

Personally, I feel this ep showed quite a bit. I'm sure that if any of them were mind-controlled or against their brothers, they will all be a threat, but I feel that if Raph were ever used against them, he would be the biggest threat as he's one of the strongest and definitely, imo, the best fighter of the four when thinking straight.

I still feel that this ep is foreshadowing Shredder's defeat at Raph's hand and that Raph may end up turning against his brothers due to an outside force and their not bring able to get him back as easily as before. I'm hoping for Mikey. I think Shredder is going to seek out Raph now that he's seen his potential and Shredder is hellbent on hurting Yoshi, killing the turtles, and getting Karai back.

What if seeing Raph's rage mode in the season 2 finale is also foreshadowing? Not Mikey's calming him down, but the cause? What if he's under Shredder's control, Shredder hurts Yoshi, and then that causes Shredder to be defeated?

I'm not one for stating opinions as facts or saying things with certainty without proof, but this is one time where I feel very strongly over something or that something will probably happen. I'm so serious, I'd get myself deported if I'm wrong. Ok, not that extreme, but I still feel that's going to happen. lol

Well, I guess me and you can make a Friendly Bet Right now. I guarantee 100% that will not happen (and I was right in my guesses on this whole 'Dark Raph' thing way back when it was first brought up).

If it does this whole 'Raph defeats Shredder/turns bad/Mikey brings him back thing', then I'll NEVER complain about the show again.

But if it doesn't (which I Guarantee that it will not, 100%), then you will HAVE to admit that the show is treating Raph in a haphazardly manner to the point of almost being completely useless (or somewhere to that effect...pretty much the opinions that some of us like myself and Warhorse and etc. have shared).

Actually, they went in through the ears. Kahn made a point of torturing them with it first, and blood came out of their ears.

Well, there is that one story in the comics. The one where Raph is actually Shedder for a while. If they would just put aside their thing about not allowing for major arcs to go on for less than one episode, this could be a very interesting story, in that maybe Raph is controlled or brainwashed to join Shredder. It would be even more interesting if maybe it was Karai that helped out in the end, since she and Raph have had the least bond out of all of the Turtles. And in that moment that he snaps out of his brainwash, and he finishes the Shredder, then yes, I will agree with Ramboraph, and never complain again and will even buy the whole series on BluRay instead of just digital.

But, I have been so disappointed with season 3, it's pretty difficult to get my hopes up anymore.

Uh, the one I am talking about is the 2009 Star Trek, Captain Pike (played by Bruce Greenwood) is taken prisoner by Nero (Eric Bana) and we see a scene where Pike's mouth is bring pried open and some weird looking thing being held by tongs in being dropped in it.

In my mind, 1st movie, through mouth!

But then I would be lying. I don't feel he's getting shafted much and I guess it's because I like him. I don't care if he doesn't have an ongoing story...it's his character and personality that I love for this version. I appreciate the things he do in general, so I can't see what you are. I'll admit to being wrong, but not to the other stuff. This is my favorite incarnation of Raph, OT and Archie Raph second.

[CyberCubed]

Anyone notice all the Season 1 mutants haven't been seen in a while? Snakeweed, Spiderbitez, Cockroach Terminator, Mutagen Man, etc?

The only one that re-appeared is Rockwell/Pete since they're part of the Mutanimals now. Also been a while since we've seen Rat King too.

We saw Timothy as a mutant in season 2 again.

Well, it could be because Raph isn't your favorite and there's no problem with that but for those of us where he is our favorite, we can definitely see the lack of love for this character from the writers and producers.

I personally do care if he doesn't have an ongoing story or development. If it's good enough for Leo, Donnie and sometimes even Mikey, It's good enough for the other turtle that the producers and writers seem to have forgotten about.

I don't think any of us Raph fans are demanding he steal the show, I think what we're asking for is that he's given a little more respect, equal value to the group and equal screen time. Again, I don't think that's asking too much. Again, if they have trouble figuring out what to do with the character then get a Raph fan on-board for writing duties that does know what to do. Keep them as a regular writer for his character so they can keep contributing to the episodes.

Man, some of this stuff is such a no-brainer but yet they still can't seem to do this.

At times like this, I'm glad I don't have a definitive favorite turtle as it varies from medium to medium. Raph and Mikey were my favorites for the OT. Raph and Donny were my favorites for Archie. Mikey and Donny were my favorites for Mirage. For Nick, in the beginning, it started off with Leo, then Donnie...but round about season 2, it started to shift to Raph and Mikey and by season 3, it's changing between all four, so at this point, I don't have a favorite I can honestly say for this series. It shifts too much between all four which is why, in general, I don't care which turtle is connected to which plot, just as long as it's enjoyable.

Considering he has only showed up once and was hyped up to play a huge role in Season 2, that's unforgivable. He was ignored when Donatello created a Retromutagen and was completely ignored after the Invasion.

I would love to see him again as his fight against the Turtles was one of my favorites, so it's unfortunate we've only seen him once since the beginning of Season 2.

I definitely agree with CyberCubed here. Most of the Mutants being ignored is disappointing.

Regarding how mm was hyped up 4 making the retromutagen, they might've meant it 4 the special retromutagen needed 4 karai

Yeah, I envy you. I wish I didn't have a favorite because it makes it so hard to enjoy the show.

I totally agree with this. I know they gotta keep introducing new characters so they can sell more toys, but I really would love to get some follow up with the likes of Snakeweed, Cockroach Terminator, Timothy, etc. I wanna see some serious demutating since we've established that retromutagen IS in fact a thing, for "normal" mutants (aka not Karai. There's no excuse not to fix any other human who wants to be demutated!)
