So, yeah...even though it shares the same continuality, and even though Mirage themselves call it season 6 (and 7?), to me it's still a spin-off.

If they didn't promote it as one, then I wouldn't think of it as one...but they did.

And I never said they had to totally ignore the events of FF (even though I'd be much happier if they did), I'm aware of the fact that Don's going to rebuild the Lair due to their trip to the future (as implied by Mr. Murphy).

I'm just hoping they don't revisit that much, that's all.

I think the FF theme is way better then the 2K3 one. It actually matches the series, unlike the 2K3 intro.

I hope they talk about the future, they need to take what they've learned there and apply it to the new times. I want to see them deal with living in darkness and hiding again. Their used to being able to run around in the day and living in a penthouse.

Sorry, Spit, but I liked 2K3's theme better. However, I think they will talk about some things that happened in the future, though I don't know if they'll tell April and Casey all of it. In "The Journal" none of the Turtles told Casey that in the future he's dead, so I doubt they'd do that to him in 2K8.

Whoa, wait, you mean Casey dies in the future? No way, I never would have guess

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 11-06-2007, 07:10 AM

Of course he didn't die--he's just 140 years old. And still kickin' butt.

*odupianist* · 11-06-2007, 08:18 AM

Casey and Bishop get together and Casey gets cloned bodies too!

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 11-07-2007, 01:52 PM

OH YEAH!!

But what April?

Seriously, though, Bishop needs to stay dark and evil. Otherwise, there really isn't much point to his character. Like Karai--I can't see 4Kids coming up with any good storylines for her now that she's reformed.

*BubblyShell22* · 11-07-2007, 03:32 PM

Yeah, but who says Karai's totally reformed? It may have seemed that way at the end of TLS, but she didn't really form a truce with the Turtles officially. She may have reformed for now, but she could always go back to her old ways if the writers want her to.

As for Bishop, I definitely feel that he will remain a villain.

Bishop is like Napoleon Bonaparte. Neither a candidate for canonization nor a universal villain everyone loathes and fears. He is a complex character who follows his own morals and goals and is hard to place on either side.

*Jephael* · 11-21-2007, 02:13 PM

It might be nice to give Bishop one last storyline, but not have the TMNT directly encounter him otherwise risk telling him information about the future.

*VaughnMichael* · 11-21-2007, 03:50 PM

It would really be funny for Serling to see Bishop as a Villian.

*CyberCubed* · 11-23-2007, 08:45 PM

I think we might see FF's Bishop instead of present Bishop, given Splinter is still in the future and might need another "ally" for something.
