[QUOTE=Cipher;646053]Or making a frickin' flying car in the second episode of the series out of junkyard scraps? Don's intellegence has been so ridiculous throughout the show that a 637 IQ is actually the most plausible explanation we have...and it's still ridiculous.[QUOTE]

Raph must either be a good guesser or he's exaggerating like he does quite a bit. Like I've said about Don, he could rule the world due to how smart he is (so why hasn't he?) After all, Adrian Veidt, was the smartest man in the world in the Watchmen universe and he did it. Does anyone know what his IQ was?

I also liked Mikey and the whole "George" thing as well.

No comment regarding the Spandex. Can't figure out why they put this.

And I think Raph exaggerated on Donnie's IQ.

Loved the Channel 6 tribute.

Eh not really. I used to do it with the previous seasons. I've been doing commentary like that since the late 90's. *shrugs* I did the commentary with the first ep of this season as well.

Either Raph knows nothing of how an IQ works or he was just throwing out a random ridiculous number just to be funny.

Too late! It's canon now! Nerdy debates will rage over Donatello's IQ for deades to come! I shall edit Wikipedia to include the figure as absolute, undeniable fact.

Then I'll cry myself to sleep.

It may have looked like a preview from FF that they used to show but I'm gonna be real honest here, I still enjoy Fast Forward more than this rushed wasted mess they call a season.

So I have a feeling Shredder won't return for another four episodes.. Also, weren't we supposed to see Usagi this season? I can't remember.

You guys do realize that's a reference to a Bugs Bunny cartoon right?

It's not that hard to figure out that they're trying to sell the newest TMNT toys.

*Cure* · 11-08-2008, 07:43 PM

Why CAN'T his IQ be 637? It's a cartoon, anything is possible.

Which in turn was a parody of Of Mice & Men.

Yeah, because they sure as hell aren't releasing any actually BASED on this season any time soon, if at all.

Before today the highest IQ I've heard in an animated tv series was Sailor Mercury's, which is 300 (she only attends school to help her friends. *L*).

IRL the smartest person I know is my cousin Tanner who's IQ was registered at 172 when he was 3 (he's now 13).

Im thinking that Raph definatly was just spouting random numbers. Don's IQ is probably around 200. Da Vinci and Michelangelo Bounarati's were 180. Albert Einstein's was 160. Both Einstein and Michelangelo are believed to have had Aspergers syndrome.

But man with an IQ like that Don needs to join Mensa, the Genius Society or heck...he could become the 27th member of the Mega Society.

This was a good episode (kinda boring at times) While I cringed during the first three minutes (turtles are not meant to wear spandex

), there were some funny moments. I was most shocked when Khan "killed" his cyber clone!!

Next weeks episode looks hilarious!

I know most of you despise the Stealth Suit TMNT, but you wouldn't believe how many fangirls on other sites are in love with them.... >.<

kerfootw · 11-08-2008, 10:39 PM

What do you mean by "most"? I haven't seen very many complaints against the stealth suits. The spandex, yes; the suits, at least not very much.

Isn't that what they were referring to?

kerfootw · 11-08-2008, 10:52 PM

I think we're still referring to the stealth suits as stealth suits so I think that "most" are complaining againt the spandex. Like I said, I haven't seen very many complaints about the stealth suits in comparison to the spandex in today's episode.

Okay, I thought everyone was saying the stealth suits were spandex. Is is instead the sports clothes?

kerfootw · 11-08-2008, 11:56 PM

Yes it is.

Why does Shredder need a web portal anyway? Why doesn't he just download himself to a Shredder exo suit? I mean he already shown that he could take over Stockman's body.

*Guitar_Raph* · 11-09-2008, 04:51 AM

Loved the Bugs Bunny reference Mikey made. It was used on two Bugs Bunny cartoons; a 1961 short with Daffy Duck (The Abominable Snow Rabbit) and a 1980 short with Marvin the Martian (Spaced Out Bunny).

Gotta like the opening scene after the theme, where Raph, Mikey & Leo sported clothes & rode their vehicles. The only one who really wore a Spandex was Mikey. So cool! Mikey's the Turtle!

If he did that, he'd have to either wait too long for the transfer to complete or leave a vulnerability in cyberspace as he pilots the thing via remote access. As was seen, taking over Baxter was already unsuccessful. So, he doesn't care to try that option again.

*Drtooth* · 11-09-2008, 08:58 AM

Let's all come clean and realize something....

Shredder SHOULD have came out of the cyberworld in this episode. If not, somehow in the next one. I can't say that this didn't help further the plot, but ending it the way they did really was a wasted opportunity.

Plus, there really was the potential in a brief Bishop cameo... him popping up and saying, "I thought we got rid of all of them!!!"

I understand what you're saying... this season started out really strong, but the last few episodes just seemed off. Especially next week's, which is exactly like the Halo... errr... Helix episode from FF. Only thing I think this season really has on FF is they planned to have a lot more structure. Too bad they blew that structure lately.

Raph joking about bein Orcs and Don just standing there all serious was just great. I love how they're dressed up: Don as a wizard, Leo as a furry animal shifter, Mike as a shining knight and Raph as a jester is just too funny. __________________
