Official Ep Discussion S4 Ep 1: Beyond the Known Universe

[OrangeNinja1987]

Great episode. I loved almost everything about it and it would surely get a 10/10 in my book if it hadn't been for the stupid way of fixing the Earth in the first episode! That removed so much tension and emotional motivation for the turtles, and now it's extremely obvious that after the space arc that things will go back to the status quo and everything will be fine and dandy.
I don't see any other solution to the destruction of earth other than time travel, but in the first episode of the season? Really!?
Kind of funny that the episode began with the retelling of what happened in the season finale, only to have the new theme song recap yet again seconds later. Meh. Both did a good job of it.
But besides that stuff, spectacular episode. April's character was amazingly well done this episode, and I loved seeing that Raph and Casey moment fighting with the weapons. Totally a teenage thing to do.
Geeky Leo is back (I've been missing him!) and the space visuals are stunning. Actually, all of it is stunning. The animation is top-notch.
Tons of funny jokes, great voice acting. Nothing was annoying, even Casey.
Who was the person the episode was dedicated to at the end? It was really kind of them to do that.
I was going to give this episode an 8/10 for the dumb time travel, but now that I've thought about the overwhelming good parts, I'll give it a solid 9/10.
