Thanks a lot for clearing that up for me cuz I got kinda confused there. I don't remember him saying it like that, so maybe I'll watch the episode again to see if he explained it.

It's not. She said that because he is a blatant, horrible 'Mary Sue'... or 'Gary Stu' character.

And I couldn't agree more.

oh and this is me just being nitpicky buuut they calling the great horror movie with vincent price the Tingler the wrong name...what did they call it the tangler or something...prolly for copyright laws or something I guess..
Yea.. Im annoyed that in 100 years time there's no junk food (well except for popcorn...) and horror films are litterally a thing of the past. Nobody watches movies anymore??? Cody may be smart but he certainly doesn't know much.

As for the name of the horror films. In the TMNT universe things are done differently. Instead of The Tingler it's The Tangler... instead of Nightmare on Elm Street it's Nightmare on Willowston.

Ehhh...not bad. Does anyone else (and Zarius I'm sorry but....) think Power Rangers when Kody calls on Turtle 1-X?

Cody: It's Ninja Time!!! I need Turtle 1-X Power, now!!

I do like Sh'O. he seems to be a good villian, I just hope he stays that way. Next week makes me roll my eyes, I've never liked Turtle Titan. I was hoping he died in Mikey's trans-dementional one-shot.

Oops! Forgot to mention: was that just some bad shadowing, or is the Turtle Titan's costume designed/colored differently now?

I thought of the 1990s Power Rangers several times throughout the episode. The intro at Shokanabo's lair reminded me of when on Power Rangers they show the villians at their lair plotting against the Rangers. Then when the turtles couldn't defeat Shokanabo, Cody arrived in his mech, kind of like how the Rangers have their Zords.

Also, the end when Shokanabo is making the Dark Turtles. Sort of like how Finster used to create those clay bad guys in Power Rangers. Ok maybe not....

One more thing, Shokanabo has somewhat of Goldar's face.

I didn't see the previous few episode after episode 3, for some reason they didn't so the episodes they were suppose to show on my Fox network. Guess it was cause of the whole dam Baseball games that ruins Saturday Morning line ups.

This one was good for an average Horror B movie related episode.

I laugh when Mikey was shock that cody doesn't know any B/horror movie classics. And gotta hand it to Mikey for showing that Movie learning Alien group on how to watch and know movies.

From the 4 episodes I seen of Fast Forward, I'm completely fine with it. May be in the future, but least it's still Ninja Turtles whenever I look at it. Least there are a few other people like me who do give it a chance and what not.

Maybe other fans would like it more if the future was more like in Cowboy Bebop, but then you'd see tons of Bounty hunters and New York's economy looking like crap.

Hey... he DOES somewhat resemble Goldar... Altho Goldar's more or less one of the flying monkeys from wizard of oz.

Would be funny if somebody looking like Tommy showed up....mmm... Tommy...*drools*

Tommy's a TMNT fan according to his bio in the old Power Rangers comics (which I do indeed have in a special box that has tons of other Power Ranger stuff...mostly Tommy related...)... Raph being his fave.

Ah those were the days... I had this weird crush on Lord Zedd, Goldar, and of course Tommy (Jason David Frank has his own dojo's! I'd love for him to be my sensei... *G*)

I don't hate the series, I don't love it... it's meh. It's still better than the live action show. I hate cody and his blue Mira from Buzz Lightyear looking geek girlfriend (more so the girlfriend, I always get jealous and depressed when I see couples of any kind, but that's another post for another day). But this and the Bishop episodes are at least forshadowing better storylines to come. No more of this... "WOW! Look how the future changed, and yet stayed relatably the same" one shot episodes. Who else was disappointed by the lameness of the wrestling episode? That one had limitless potential.

I'm going to save my thoughts about the lack of Junkfood for another post... I feel it may be social commentary.

Biggles and Sterling? Well... I must admit... I've warmed up to them. I do like parodies of British Bobbies (being heavily into Monsty Python right now) and "What's all this then" cracks me up. But even still... it would work better in another series. I do like how he actually does something besides being poor comic releif.

Splinter does nothing in the show aside from saying he's teaching Cody martial arts and disapline. But then again, without Splinter, we wouldn't have the Kick arse new Splinter action figure, that blows the shapeless plastic turd in a burlap wrap first version out of the toilet water.

But that Mech suit of Cody's? PATHETIC! The top one thing I hate about FF is the lack of Casey Jones. Just mentioning him by turning his likeness into a formulaic robot? Please!

>>Maybe other fans would like it more if the future was more like in Cowboy Bebop, but then you'd see tons of Bounty hunters and New York's economy looking like crap.<<

While a dark, ominous, depressing future is cliche... well... it's cliche for a reason. I mean, this isn't Jetsons where everything is too convieniant, or on the opposite of the scale, Futurama where things are still humongously flawed. (oddly enough... anyone else notice the mentions of New New York... like the NNY Power company?) It's Future for future's sake.

Biggles wasn't my idea for a police charater either. Even if he does resemble the stereotype British cop.

I don't mind Sterling's designs, not my favorite charater for the FF series in all. Maybe people would admire him more if he resembled Bender instead of C-3PO. Since the whole worry-some and butler robot role has been used way too many times.
