What exactly are they going to do with those mutants they caught? Nice to not see Shinigami this week.

Unspeakable things.

What has Baxter done besides giving him life support via mutagen?

The only things Baxter has done is make mutants (Serpent Hunt, this episode, Vengeance is Mine if you want to count it, and the joke from Lonely Mutation) and perfect the mind control worms in Deadly Venom, and guess what? Karai was freed in the end.

Seriously, if he had more focus, I guarantee Baxter would've had his body parts removed like 2k3 or something along that caliber.

A wasp appeared in Metalhead Rewired, Mazes and Mutants has been referenced twice now here and last week (at least the game, not Malachi), Pizza Face is purely subjective because of the pizza in Meet Mondo Gecko (either way, PF was trash). The only one that's truly filler of these episodes is Wyrm.

I thought this episode was really good. Raph really got some good development and I hope this is the end of his phobia. I loved the moments between Raph and Splinter and that bit at the end made me laugh as that's definitely something Splinter would do. However, it did work and helped Raph so that's a good thing and he did have a lesson about fear being nothing unless you make it something in your mind. Also loved Mikey and Leo arguing about Crognard vs. Space Heroes, the return of Karai and her team up with April, and the return of Turflytle.

Yes, Baxter is the only one who can help Shredder and Shredder knows this so that's why he's being nice to him. All of his other henchmen abandoned him, and I have a feeling they will pay for it later.

Overall, a very satisfying episode. Can't wait for next week.

Shell, the only reason Stockman Fly lost was because he didn't know about the grapple-harnesses, before that he captured two Leo, April, Karai, Casey, and not Shinigami because she and Casey can't be in the same place at the same time or else they'll explode like anti-matter...or Viacom's just cheap with its voice acting budget.

Okay this might be crazy but how about put their skills in situations where they don't have to face teenagers also its not like Stockman is much of a fighter the only use he has is being the tech guy

As Karai got control of Shredder's lair, she will probably lock them up in the dungeon.

At the time of airing they were fillers. The creators only used them again for recycling and references so you can still consider them fillers.

*snake* · 08-28-2016, 12:42 PM

No episode is a filler in a western cartoon. Just because it doesn't contribute to the main plot, doesn't mean it's "filler".

The term filler means that it's only there to take up time as the source material is to close to the show. There is no source material in question here, so nothing can be considered filler.

That being said, I wish some of the one off episodes were a written a little better. I liked Wyrn though. In my top 10 season 4 episodes fo sho

*CyberCubed* · 08-28-2016, 01:06 PM

I'm glad Baxter got another episode as it was far too long since he had done anything. So Scumbug and Antrax finally debut in this show. They also showed the Cockroach Terminator in Raph's nightmares.

Weird they didn't bring him back though, we already have a cockroach mutant in the show.

Yoshimickster · 08-28-2016, 01:35 PM

Yeah, what has Spy-Roach 1 been doing this whole time?

matteso586 · 08-28-2016, 01:41 PM

Its been a long time since Stockman corrected someone about his name.

Sad that the episode didn't bring up Stockman's desire to become human again.

Where was Shini when Stockman was attacking Karai?

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 08-28-2016, 02:05 PM

Pretty good episode! I loved that Raph had to go to Splinter for advice. Finding out the meaning of the words in which Splinter gives out a simple answer at the end reminded me of the second episode where he gave Leo the simple answer "he asked". I love how gross this show is getting where you have a mutant ant spawning out clones of itself through its' backside and another mutant vomiting on Casey. My tastes can be weird at times.

They haven't abandoned him...he said they have grown useless. So they would still be with the Shredder next time we see him. No questions asked.

And even the so-called niceties the Shredder gives are sweetened insults such as "The only person who is still of any use is a lowly housefly."

As for Casey and Shinigami, they probably didn't have enough of a budget to include Phil Lamar and Gwendolyn Yeo. So we will see both Casey and Shini on screen further down the line.

I agree that Karai might have them locked up for the time being. Since Scumbug was an innocent human...(Not entirely sure about the Antrax) I can see her reforming the two of them and adding them to her cause or maybe telling Scumbug that if he behaves himself she can see about having his humanity restored. After all the guy who was controlling them just abandoned them. So possible payback time for Stockman later on.

~~TurFlytle~~ · 08-28-2016, 02:19 PM

Am I the only one who's happy that the police actually show up and do something for once since season 2? I know they were beaten easily, but do you think they would expect mutant insect creatures robbing a bank?

*Vicky82* · 08-28-2016, 02:24 PM

I actually thought they were nicking ladies handbags but it was only money in them.

It would have been funny if it was ladies handbags they were stealing and then selling on ebay or on the black market

That's a good point. That would work as an excellent prison.

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Just watch it anywhere else.
