As long as ratings and toys sales do fine, I don't see this being the last season. I agree that the 13 episode decision was probably decided because its far too late to pressure for anything else, but it could be good news to see what happens next.

This could be pretty awesome. I mean, they could handle some eps on-

-The Turtles readjusting to hiding in the shadows when they didn't have to in the future
-Karai finally reforming and helping out when needed
-More Rat King, Savanti, maybe even Shoate and Bloodsucker
-More of Hun
-the conflict with the next time they face Bishop (we can't kill him, he becomes a good guy in the future!!)


-Worms of Madness???

They can't do that one since the real Shredder is destroyed beyond the point of resurrection, and the Utrom Shredder is banished on an ice asteroid so he's probably frozen to death now, and if he isn't the worms wouldn't be the same thing.

I'd like to see it but I don't think they could pull it off.

I could clearly see the 13 episodes as being an antidote for the biggest sin of FF. And that was that they thought it would run longer than it actually did. Maybe they're just ordering 13 episodes as of now, and if things go well, 13 more later.

Honsetly, TMNT is the on;y real success, as I said, 4Kids has had on its own network. If they're going to take over after CBS got greedy and cut of kid's WB, they need TMNT as part of that line up.

If the movie gets the go ahead, I would expect the cartoon to stick around until at least the release of that.

Doesn't it already? I thought the only hold back is contracting on who will do the animation.

No, nothing is confirmed on any level.

Why is everyone calling the 2008 season Season 8? Isn't it technically Season 7, with FF being Season 6 and TLS being Season 5?

That goes back to the original intention of giving FF a short final season to wrap itself up. Obviously those unproduced episodes still count as canon as far as Murphy is concerned.

I believe Karai is more of a motorcycle with a releasable submarine sidecar type of gal.


I wonder if "streamlined or stylized", are just code for "Chaotic" style flash animation.

So long as the animation of the Turtles doesn't let them look like cotton candy pastels and Lego blocks like that of FF, I'll be satisfied with this new series. I loved the Turtles' chubby round cheeks and darker colors. That's all I ask to want back.

This news sounds good to me...not too worried about the animation either,I mean it cant look so bad that its un-watchable.

Something Iv wondered about,if they were too go back to present time(which they are now) is...what are thier relationships and feelings towards enemies,like Bishop,gonna be?

Like will they wanna somehow "save" Bishop and work around his evilness knowing that he becomes President in the future and is no longer a villian?

Plus a bunch of other things too...they could kill off Darius Dunn waaaaay before he's even born...I mean knowing so much about the future,they could stop alot of things from happening...I know Im thinking way to deep into it....but this why I think a fresh start is best,cause carrying on like this....Fast Forward will always get in the way of storylines and is just too hard to work around it.

An even LOWER budget? What the f***? I won't be surprised if the new season has the Turtles looking like 8-bit NES characters.

well, they might deal with some kinda episode where they run ino Darius Dun's grandfather or something, and then in the end decide that if they alter history, they're do more harm than good and just leave him alone.

And back to the dark alleyways, please?
Same here. I just wish that they go back to the old 2k3 style. It was great until 4Kids decided to "help" it. The character design rapeage revamp kind of killed all love of the show for me... Hopefully things will look good on screen. I seriously hope to the love of 2D animation that it will look good.

And yeah...if anyone working on the new season is reading this...

DARK ALLEYWAYS ARE GOOD!!

We miss them. And the shadows...

No no, I just unveiled my grand plan over at Mikey's. It's cheaper than cheap!

Ok...maybe not.

Lady, you might be on to something there. The animation could be like 2k3 but in BLACK AND WHITE. No color should help lower the budget right?

As for Bishop not being able to be killed, it's actually totally possible that he does get killed. Future can be rewritten once they're back in the good ole days.

I was under the impression FF was broken up into 2 13 episode seasons. So season 1 of FF counts as 6, and Season 2 counted as 7.

I don't see how that makes a difference if it's digital Ink and paint. The only way a BW series would be the slightest bit cheaper is if they were just outlines, and that wouldn't look good at all. Especially if you don't have a High Def TV or a digital cable hook up.
