I am also not too thrilled with what I am seeing with Mondo Gecko, the Frogs, nightmare beavers and Demon Donnie. Just, way too corny for me. The Turtles have gone from season one, a very well done season that didn't insult the viewer, season 2 was definitely lower in quality but had really good episodes like Slash and Destroy, Wrath of Tiger Claw and Rats and Men, but the beginning of this season, plus some of the promos, made the series go from damn good, to a damn joke.

You know, for kids!

It was very reminiscent of the 80s show, and I like that. Didn't find it a good fit for the Nick show though.

Enjoyable episode, they really did a good job of conveying the human side of Bigfoot. She yearned to be loved and have someone care for her, she wanted that contact, and I think that's something everyone can relate to. I'm glad shr found it with Finger at the end.

Lost a bit of respect for Leonardo when he and Casey were mocking her. They didn't know she was there and instantly felt bad, but that's no excuse. Was nice to see April give Donnie the kiss at the end, but unfortunately it seemed more like something she was doing to make him feel better than because she genuinely cares in that way. It's leading him on and now he's back to square one.

Honestly I've been wondering lately if Leo and Casey's conversation was meant more at Donnie's expense, and finding it amusing watching him deal with the situation, rather than ever intending to mock Bigfoot.

And perhaps absentmindedly not giving consideration to her feelings because they might not easily see the 'creature' that is the 'mythical Bigfoot' as a person in the same way they see themselves and humans. Thus committing the same sin some humans would commit against them for being talking turtles. The show missed an learning opportunity there for the Turtles, or at least Leo, by not pointing that out.

This show is so inconsistent after season 1 .I don't mind filler to much but this was just meh for me . I didn't like big foot as the character wasn't really interesting the finger was way to over the top , I cant even say this episode resolved the whole Donnie trying to get April thing because she kissed him . Just imagine if Chris Yost ( the guy who wrote the wrath of tigerclaw ) wrote every episode that would be so bad ass

Christopher Yost also wrote episodes for the 2003 series.

Yes, exactly. Perhaps they were more like Teenage Mutant Ninja Hypocrites or Teenage Mutant Hypocritical Turtles in this episode.

I didn't get too mad at Casey and Leo's conversation. They didn't know Bigfoot was listening in, and they are teenagers. Teens tease people all of the time, and they did feel bad about it after Bigfoot ran away. I like the idea that Leo has flaws like this as it makes him seem more real instead of him being so perfect all of the time. Even he can have his "open mouth, insert foot" moments.

Yeah, perfect Leo ticks me off.... and this is a very young Leo at that. I'm glad they don't try to make him perfect. No doubt he's got it together more that the others but at the end of the day he's still a kid basically!

I liked this ep much better than the last one. There were some really good Raph moments.
I agree that the ending was kinda weird though. IDK what to think about April's feelings...

SuperManwich · 10-13-2014, 05:41 PM

I love Chris Yost. He's worked on so many of my favorite cartoon shows: 2k3 Ninja Turtles, 2k6 Fantastic Four, Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Probably one of my favorite people in media with his track record.

*Luckyday* · 10-13-2014, 05:42 PM

I really wish someone out there can deconstruct how one sided and shallow apritello really is.

You know, yeah Leo and Casey were being heartless douchebags, but I was more interested in Mikey's reaction. He was shocked to see Big Foot ran away crying.

Spoiler:

Living as a mutant, having a hard time getting acceptance from people, Mikey knows how it feels to be rejected and the pain that goes with it.

I'm impressed, bravo Nick.

I was astounded and pleasantly surprised to see Mikey scolding them. The smallest and youngest brother practically screamed to them: "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS?" Mikey isn't taking any of that ****, talking smack about other people. He looked absolutely livid.

Thats why Mikey is my favorite turtle.

Can you spoiler tag those?

He should write more on this show. That would be so cool!

And he wrote the episodes for when Donnie turns into a monster (Yes, the Outbreak arc.) and some of the Ninja Tribunal stuff.
