I'd hardly say "ALL" he's said it once let's not blows out of perportion becfore the actual show does.
One time of him saying it was more than annoying...let's hope he doesn't get "ALL" of the lines like that.

I really don't see what was too bad about this episode. People complain way too much about Cody, but he's a lot like his great-grandparents and they don't complain about them. Is it because they're classic characters? Meh.

Everything about this episode was cool. It's probably my third or fourth favorite episode of Fast Forward.

I'm complaining about the bad diolog given to codey not him as a character.
I've had no problems with the kid untill todays episode that I can really think of.
Codey's lines "It's ninja time" "Let's kick shell" "What the shell was that!" "Gotta check this out Ninja Style" seem very out of conext coming from him have other characters besides the turtles ever even said those lines before? I even hate it when the turtles say it so thats not saying much I just hate those catch phrases.
Also Codey's suposed to be supper smart right? You'd think he'd be smart enough to pick up on Biggles line Boulderall (which I assume should have been balderdash) I've never even heard of the term Boulderall before. But that's beyond the point Codey isn't stupid and I wish they wouldn't switch it out as him being some dummy now.
Obviously just ask anyone around here I've been an avid Fast Forward supporter.
But I don't blindly fallow things This alone and many other comments I've made about past weeks episodes and The Lost Season Comments I made should be more than proof enough of that.

Yeah, the whole "be like water" thing is a pretty cool marital arts lesson to put in a kids' cartoon, even if the dialogue did beat us over the head with it.

A pretty decent episode. Nothing too good, or too bad. You guys basically covered the bad dialogue part, so I can skip that. I was really praying they wouldn't say Ninja Time again...

I kinda hate how stupid the Dark Turtles act. Considering they're clones of the original, you'd think they'd be a little less dopey than that. I guess it has something to do with them being evil and all that. I was disappointed in the first episode where they showed the Dark Turtles in action, but they actually fight better in this episode. The fights between the turtles were actually the highlight of this episode for me.

I was actually a bit surprised at the amount of shooting involved in this episode. I mean, besides Darius pulling out a gun, there were quite a bit of lasers flying back and forth during the Cody vs Darius fight.

Can someone post it on youtube for me? I missed it today.

In all honesty I'd rather Cody say "It's Ninja Time!" than the Turtles.

It fits more in character for him than for any of the Turtles to say it. Mikey is the only one that's acceptable saying a line like that anyway, it always bothered me when Leo/Raph said that.

Thankfully they don't do it too often so if we're going to have any bad dialouge, at least dump it all on Cody. He's a 14 year old kid so at least we know he can act like a dorky kid at times by spouting those lines.

No worries, Ulti. If you don't mind waiting a couple days, 4Kids will have it posted on their site under "On-Demand Videos" or something.

I fell asleep during this episode. It wasn't as good as last week's was.

[cowabunga14]

I felt this episode was decent, seeing as I pretty much expected that. I'm not gonna get into the dialogue because that's already been addressed. I just didn't feel Cody saying "It's ninja time!," was in character, especially seeing as he was in the Turtle-X vehicle at the time... I think I prefer the Turtles saying it more than Cody even though the phrase can get old after a while. My point is: He should've been at least dressed like a ninja while saying it.

Anyhow, I was glad to see the Dark Turtles again because I kinda missed 'em and I actually thought they were pretty cool villains since the first time they appeared.

The humor wasn't overdone in this episode, I felt, and neither was the action. In a nutshell -- for lack of a better term -- there was really only two major fight scenes, which was all right with me. I was kinda hoping there would be more, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case...

When the Turtles put Serling in the closet, I chuckled a little bit. It makes me wonder if something like that will happen again.

I didn't mind seeing Darius once more cuz he's an all right character in my book. I was glad Cody defeated him in a non-traditional way because I didn't see that coming.

My verdict on this episode: three Turtle philosophy lessons out of five. Next week's episode looks like it'll be exciting, so I'll be sure to record it.

[Raph's Girl]

Alright!!! Now we're talkin!! Now this show is going places!! The baddies are all basically buddy buddy. So Darius has been working with Zucco and he's employed
the clones! Ooh! That was cool to see Darius finally getting his butt kicked!! HAHA! "You're fired!"... Cody's now gotta clean up all the messes Darius made while he was CEO.

The ony downside to the ep was Cody saying "It's Ninja Time" and saying "Shell.." alot.

Next week Turtle X goes on a rampage eh? Hmmmm...

My fave line: "Houston, we have bad guys!" - Raph

[Tora_Chan]

Hah, I knew it. This line of dialog was said by Cody in this episode:

"How could you, Uncle Darius? My parents trusted you. I trusted you."

And here is what I wrote last August after watching the first two episodes of FF:

Plot: Well, I can't say much about it now since the series just started, but the whole "Darius the evil uncle" storyline doesn't exactly put me at the edge of my seat. I expect some "shocking" revelation for Cody complete with "How could you? I trusted you!" Booooring. Hopefully this 'Dark TMNT' thing people keep talking about turns out better.

Looks like I'm psychic. Or the FF writers are just that damn preditable. As for the Dark Turtles I fail to see how they had the same moves as the real TMNT. And I really wish they would look closer to the originals and weren't color-coded. Maybe like the guys looked in "The Freaks Come Out at Night" when they were possessed.

[Revan]

When I saw the title, I was unsure of what to expect from the episode. Would the turtles really defeat uncle Darius already? I thought, "How can they defeat Darius already? He hasn't even been a villian for an entire season." But then I figured since FF is most likely not going to have as many seasons as the original 2k3, it's possible.

Then of course, here comes the cliche final battle when the villian escapes battered and bruised screaming "We'll meet again" or "This isn't over!" UUGGGHHH!

No since Darius has been discovered, maybe we can expect more hardcore tricks and traps from him.
