NEW EP DISCUSSION (16th DC 2006): "The Gaminator" - Page 2

*triplexxx* · 12-16-2006, 02:26 PM

Well, I slept in (because I hardly ever sleep at night), so I didn't see the whole thing, though I did manage to record on the cable box so I could tape it later. However, I did see the end part, and what I found funny was when Michaelangelo was discussing the subject of the "boss level" & all he knew about it. When he mentioned during his rambling about dying five or six times before beating it, and then Leonardo said ........."You're enjoying this way too much Mikey" that was hilarious!

I happened to miss this episode cuz my VCR wasn't set up to record, and I couldn't watch it came on cuz I was in Morgan Hill for most of the day...

I'd greatly appreciate it if someone put this episode up on YouTube.

Wow, other people are sick of seeing poor Serling get abused too, color me surprised. It wasn't a bad episode, but the writers could've used him a lot better than they did, and that part at the end was just mean.

And as far as Serling refusing to help goes, the more I watch the more I get the feeling that he can't disobey Cody. Sure, he can complain all he wants, but if Cody pushes the issue he has to listen.

Yeah, I probably will end up writing that fanfic I've been tossing about, since all that bad karma just demands justice . . .

Nice episode. Is it just me or is this the fourth "Mikey/videogames episode"

Still a good episode.

My favorite Leo line was when they were in the Swampinator part of the game and he says something like "I shouldn't have spend so much time practicing and played more video games."

No new episode next week...

I noticed about the no new episode. It's gonna be a repeat of FF#1. Why couldn't they repeat something from the other series?

They don't want us to remember how good it was.

Because Fast Foward is a revamp, and they want the current toys on shelves to match what airs on TV. And only the first four FF eps have ever been rerun.

*Warhorse* · 12-17-2006, 09:15 AM

I was at Toys R Us yesterday and saw the FF dvd for sale?

And we have the toys, and a show no one seems to enjoy, and they are gonna be playing reruns, again?

Isn't this overkill?

TerranigmaFreak · 12-17-2006, 12:26 PM

Not a very exciting episode. It was kind of ok because of the video game jokes. Outside of that, it was lackluster. I love the "Super Fabio Brothers" joke during the swamp.

I'm suprised they aren't gonna play "Mikey's Christmas Rescue".

That's been available to view on On Demand since October actually.

I've tried to enjoy this show, I truly have. I came into FF with an open mind saying it was more of a spinoff than a continuation of the 2k3 series. But after this episode I don't think it's fair to the 2k3 series to even consider it a spinoff. Sure they through hints of the series with "I hate bugs" references but really it's not the 2k3 series at all. The ending proves these aren't the same turtles, because the 2k3 turtles would have never been so ungrateful and actually hoped to hurt serling by placing him back in the game. I thought FF was supposed to improve but it rapes the turtles just as much now as it has the entire time. Sad...

*Sage Ninja* · 12-18-2006, 02:09 PM

Maybe its because I haven't been watching the series, but hearing the turtles put Serling back into a homicidal video game sounds funny. But then since I haven't been watching the show i haven't really gotten overly attached to the new characters as a result. I was never overly fond of Serling so...I don't know. I guess if I saw the episode i'd be mad at the turtles treatment of him.

Did Serling say something that might of pissed the turtles off after he saved their butts, you know in a "I told you so" sort of way, that might of provoked them playing such a nasty prank on him?

yeah, i watched this episode, but only once (usually i watch them twice cuz i have 2 fox channels) but i'm pretty sure at the end that he does indeed say something of the sarcastic nature to the turtles that made them put him into the game, but either way i didn't really think it was necessary, i guess they couldn't think of a better way to end the episode, so it works

*Sewer Bull* · 12-26-2006, 11:59 AM

Well, I had lots of catching up with this series. From "Invasion of the Body Jacker" to "The Gaminator". Five FF episodes in row, booyah. Didn't watch FF for a longest time.

I must say I find this series pretty entertaining and had lots of chuckles today while watching the last five eps. Well yeah, I don't take it too seriously now, it cannot be compared to 2K3, but I think it's nicely hilarious in its own weird way. Some parts of it. "The Journal" was great, for instance, "The Gaminator was pretty good. The same with those three eps where we could see "the altered turtles" - "Body Jacker", "Freaks" and "Bad Blood". The animation still bugs me a little but I kind of got used to it.

Considering how unrealistic the turtles' lives get, and how much they get associated with video games, comic books, superheroes, etc., I had a feeling he'd say something like that sooner or later in the series.
