Right before her eyes glow blue, right?

So...did the Rat King turn into a literal Rat King?

LOL about Splinter surviving the fall. How many times has Wil E. Coyote survived 'em? Overall, these last two episodes have been very tense with so much action going on, and I thought R&B's "let the Turtles do all the work" was funny, along with the breakdancing gab.

A bit OT, but I'm glad to see Nick putting out some programming to get me excited about, from the return of Legends of the Hidden Temple to a new season of the Paradise Celebrity show.

Show Grade: 8/10

Holy...! That was an intense episode. I'm not complaining, but some moments were really gruesome. Loved them nevertheless but I wonder how Nick got away with them. Leo screaming in anguish, splinter and Shredder falling and the whole hallucination.
Love The fighting in this episode. Though I wish Don and Mikey will have some moments next episode!

9.5/10 for me (minus points for Casey being annoying as always, and Mikey talking with Bebop and Rocksteady)

Ha, yeah. He did pretty much the same thing in New Animated Adventures #8 (an issue that I consider to be canon with the show).

*BubblyShell22* · 11-13-2016, 08:44 AM

A very intense episode and some dark moments too. It was awesome to see RK and that adaptation of the comics as well since I know many fans were predicting it would happen. Loved the fight scenes and I feel so bad for Leo getting beaten up by Shredder again! Let's hope he gets some payback soon because no one messes with my boy in blue and gets away with it! At least they found Splinter so they can be whole again. Also loved how Karai and April teamed up. Overall, a pretty awesome episode.

Was I the only one getting Tim Burton vibes from the Rat King monster?

Has April transformed into Eleven from Stranger Things.

More accurate is Jean Grey.

Splinter surviving the fall didn't surprise me. It wasn't a straight drop for him, right? It's like Casey back in the ep where he fought Tigerclaw. It wasn't a straight drop, so the impact wasn't as strong.

I liked their team up too, but it would've been nice if Shini had been involved too...and I still want to see Casey meet her. lol

Splinter must of gotten more injured when he hit those steel beams though.

The concussion he probably suffered did more than the fall.

*PApagreg* · 11-13-2016, 10:46 AM

Okay episode, really liked the scenes with Rat King and Splinter but felt kinda annoyed that this is the third time the cast was sad that "Splinter was gone" and Casey is still annoying.

Oh god, I never noticed that. Time to sit back and wait for the Stranger Things jokes. However...why is this the only time there's blood in this episode? Between all the times of foot crushing and rat bites (which will bleed like a b****), this is the time that it shows up???

*MrTMNT2012* · 11-13-2016, 11:15 AM

Some really good fight choreography in there; Season 1 Tier. That's about it.

The writing was definitely better than last week's though. Does anyone who wrote this one? Felt like there was real effort made to develop Splinter's introspective character arc and Shredder's relationship with Karai but ultimately it went nowhere.

Did enjoy how dark it was (actually cringed when Shredder's arm deformed the first time, that was AWESOME!) and even the Episode Title itself seems to have been given more thought than usual.

On the subject of continuity, THIS is more like it; Rat King's addition was clever and actually fit in with present context without just being a dumb throwaway line.

6.5/10
