All of the other 4kids shows suck! Except for TMNT and Yu-GiOh! I'm glad that it is on at 9:00 A.M because that is a good way to start my morning!

Hell yeah! It's like Cody as ADD or some mental block, trying to forget about the fact that he has to send the turtles and Splinter home (I'm starting to wonder if he genetically altered Splinter's brain to make him more docile

) I guess in a sense he is an artist, trying to capture his inventions and ideas before they disappare, but damn it, when there are people in need, you need to set aside your artistic and personal needs to help them. It's the right thing to do, after all.

Woah, Jo, that is a good find. A really good find

I really want to see that as an episode now, with Don trying to warn the others. That would be turning 3 month old milk into ice cream for me *closes her jaw*

I still think they just put too much into this one, and it got delayed multiple times. They viciously promoted the show, saying "Fall 2006." So either they were just testing the waters (saying the grand unveiling of the program is fall), or they thought they'd actually finish the show by then. Whatever, I still think it's ass.

But I still want to know. Just what is on the 10:30 time slot?

Except...it's not like he really has to. If he succesfully perfects time travel, then there's nothing stopping him from sending the turtles back to the moment they dissapeared (as happened in Return of Savanti Romero). Right now the turtles are in a world that, but for their old friends, is much better to them than the old one. Plus, history already dictates that they return home (Don has to help found O'Neil Tech, for one), so what's the rush? Then there's the question whether Cody's machine really was what brought the turtles to the future; if it isn't, then Cody is under no obligation to bring them back (if it's even possible).

In any case, if this episode's Macguffin is related to their quest to return, then I'll be grateful; while it's not something I'd like to see become an issue every episode, I wouldn't like to see it forgotten, either.

PrometheusUFO · 11-03-2006, 08:47 PM

It looks like they've pushed back the time slot for this one again. It's now set for 8:30AM tomorrow morning on my cable box's on-screen schedule. And since my local affiliate has been airing FOX's kids block an hour early for as long as I can remember, that'll be 9:30AM for everyone else in Eastern time..?

*Raph's Girl* · 11-03-2006, 09:18 PM

I've been saying this all week. Due to Yu Gi Oh reruns at 11am TMNT has been pushed back. Yahoo is saying it'll be on at 9am PT. I just have to remember to get up that early. I liked that TMNT was on at 11am cuz it gave me more time to sleep in in the morning.

I set my DVR recordings as soon as the day is available in the cable box schedule. I had to fix the TMNT FF recording today because it was set for 8AM, and it now claims to be airing at 8:30. My Yahoo listings say the same (for this week and next). *shrug*

*gobo* · 11-04-2006, 07:36 AM

Donatellium?? Gimme an effin' break...

*Katie* · 11-04-2006, 08:09 AM

the big lesson: no one can make things right in your world but you.

so, I liked this one. The Gunjin guys got to break free from Darius (let's take bets on which bad guy he actually is in disguise

) and they were good in the end. Just goes to show no matter how bad things seem to be for you, you have the power to change it and control your own destiny. I'm learning to look past all the cheese in the show and see the big picture

and yeah, "Donatellium" was pretty cheesy but oh well....at least if lord simultaneous does not erase their memory, they will know that someday they will be free to walk around and achieve things

Yay! they were trying to get back to their correct time!!!!

creativerealms82 · 11-04-2006, 08:10 AM

Thats not really that bad of an idea. Sure people generally don't name a newly discovered alloy after the man that discovered it but really. Anyway this was not too bad of an episode. i guess if Dunn can't control Oneal Tech by controling Cody he will control Oneal Tech by going to the past and making it Dunn tech.

Shadow Wolf75 · 11-04-2006, 08:22 AM

ARGH, I missed it!

I knew I should've checked back here last night, but oh no, I just had to finish Destroy All Humans 2. Stupid 4kids pushing the schedule around until the very last second, I swear . . .

Well, I did catch when the Gunjin finally did the honorable thing, and that was awesome, but I didn't get to see anything else. Like what happened to poor Serling, could someone tell me why he was sprawled on the floor in Darius Dunn's control room like that? I can imagine it can't be good, for whatever reason.

*iris* · 11-04-2006, 08:50 AM

What Katie said.

I knew Mikey was dangerous with that machine! He made a Raph puppet... that Raph didn't instantly tear to shreds? I'm sure Raph was secretly flattered.

Geez Uncle Darius annoys me! Usually I like the gloating bad guys. (Stockman!

)

omg I want a little holoTurtle on my computer!

*ahem*

Starley apparently waits 'til after work hours to drool. What restraint she has!

So, Uncle Derriere is changing his plans. He wanted to keep Cody alive the first time he sent the Gunjin after him, I figured because he doesn't officially inherit O'Neil Tech until he becomes an adult. Now, he doesn't care if the kid dies or not.

*immitating Lucy Van Pelt* BLECH! I'VE BEEN KISSED BY A RAPH PUPPET! GET SOME IODINE! GET SOME DISINFECTANT! From Darius's reaction, you'd think lil' Raph slipped him some tongue. What a funny scene that was!

The clock struck Ninja Time twice today. Somehow, it seems fitting coming from Mikey though. I no longer have the enthusiasm I should to despise the phrase. Why waste the effort to flinch? They'll just say it anyway...

I'm glad this ep wasn't as airheaded as even the Bishop ep. That shows promise. There was the egotistical and lame sounding name of that alloy. When did the turtles quit trying to hide their existence (back in the 21st century)? I'm starting to think that they should be found in history books. But, there was enough to make up for it. The puppet was a welcome comic prop for the most part. Leo actually filled the serious-guy role as well as he should today. Anyone think those birds might have something to do with the avions?

You know, I think I need some sleep before I comment further.

*jeff the cheff* · 11-04-2006, 09:39 AM

so when did they show it?

9:30AM ET. Though I did tune in 30 minnutes early just in case...

*looks forward to a "Drown Cody Drown!" sig now*

Looked to me like the Inuwashi Gunjin died. But since it's more of a kids show than ever before, all we got was them flying away with a line saying they were "going to a better place".

*cowabunga14* · 11-04-2006, 12:13 PM

This episode was all right to me.

I thought the Gunjin guys were pretty cool and I'd like to see more character developement for 'em in the future. They were one of the redeeming aspects of this episode, I thought.

I enjoyed the humor in this episode, especially Mikey's deal with the Raph puppet...

I don't think anyone expected that, so that made it much more unknown before it was witnessed. I guess when you have a creative team trying to figure out what to do for humor, they'll come up with something that everyone can laugh at.

So, this Uncle Darius dude...he's also know as Dunn, right? I just wanna make sure cuz the name Dunn was all I heard for his name while viewing...maybe I didn't have TV volume loud enough...

I thought he was an interesting villain anyhow.

This episode, here's how I rate it: three Raph silly puppet gags out of five. It felt average to me, but I'm glad it wasn't worse.

Next week's episode looks like it'll be pretty funny, with Splinter looking for piggies in a blanket and whatnot. I never thought he'd eat those.

*Duke* · 11-04-2006, 12:16 PM

The Splinter preview for next week made me want to punch the tv. I hate what they've done with his character.

Unless of course, they come back and are crucial to a future plot line. Mayhaps when Darius shows his REAL form, they'll help to destroy him.

I bloody want to see playmates make a Raph puppet. Even if it costs 30+ bucks. I mean, a professional one would cost upwards a couple tens of thou to get... (Trust me... Muppets aren't cheap to make).

So glad the Raph puppet was actually useful as a plot device, and not just random joking that they seem to do so much on this series. Otherwise, it coulda been pretty tiresome.

All and all, pretty much more of a set up episode than anything else... which is good. I mean, a couple fillers here and there are fine, but I want to get to the good stuff.

Anyway, I'll close with this thought:

Other than the action figure being awesome, he seems to serve no purpose.

Spoiler:

I mean, how many more "soap" jokes can they make? If all Splinter does is act star struck for the entire episode, froggeddabout it.
