Are you not familiar with action cartoons? Shows like Batman, Gargoyles, Teen Titans, Justice League, etc. were all aired out of order on TV.

Hell in the TMNT fandom, we got Fast Forward aired BEFORE Season 5 as everyone remembers.

*Rooish* · 10-31-2012, 07:29 PM

Not really familiar with them... I'm just trying to understand what's the point. how does it benefit the network?

**Jester** · 10-31-2012, 10:08 PM

It's a matter of production order vs. story order. Some episodes get pushed back because something is spotted and needs to be fixed, and so as the episodes are finished being produced, they are aired.

only thing I can think of is Don's pop-up Naginata, appear once and it was before him complaining about just wielding a stick.

Yep, noticed that too. Seems weird complaining about just having a stick, when he actually have a type of naginata. It make sense if the order of the episodes is wrong though.

Some of the eps do feel a bit off but all in all its a great show. It takes bits a pieces of near all turtle incarnations and mixes them well IMO

In order to garner interest, the episodes the suits deem to be the strongest will get initial airtime priority.

Shows do it all the time: it's what doomed "Firefly". "Eureka" season 1 was also out of order, to give another example.

*CyberCubed* · 11-02-2012, 11:33 PM

Come to think of it most shows I've watched over the years had their original airings out of order.

I remember watching DVD sets of shows and being surprised what the proper order was compared to what it aired on TV.

*Jephael* · 11-03-2012, 10:26 AM

I think Warner Bros. is the only company that doesn't do that, especially when it comes to their more continuity heavy shows like Smallville.

*pannoni1* · 11-03-2012, 11:05 AM

The way April interacted with Splinter seemed like she already met him off screen. So far, its reasonable that the episodes are all in order. We basically have the Kraang plot, the Foot/Shredder plot, the Baxter plot, the April as a ninja/Kirby plot, and the Dogpound/Fishface plot all in order that will have lots of resolution to do, and I enjoy the mix of 4kids pacing/action with the episodic OT-style plots.

*ToTheNines* · 11-07-2012, 03:07 PM

So I think I like Metalhead as the second episode, since that's when April set up her Kraang-forum to get leads on them.

*Jephael* · 11-19-2012, 12:26 PM

Hey has anyone noticed that in the description for the 10th episode...

Maybe the summary mentions his human name so as not to spoil his mutation. Remember when those summaries were first shown we didn't know how long it'd take for them to be mutated.

I have a feeling Bradford will be mutated when he infiltrates the sewers with the chemical. We'll have to wait and see though. If he's still human then we know the eps are out of order.

Bradford already mutated in last episode when the turltes fight Shredder.

No duh, Sherlock! Make sure you read the last few posts before replying.

TMNT-Leonardo · 11-22-2012, 04:06 PM

I did read the last post, did you read the post I quoted. He already mutated in THE LAST EPISODE, which didn't take place in the sewer. Meaning, his speculation Bradford mutating inthe sewer is off when already mutated ON THE ROOF while fighting the turtles.

Spoiler: it says Bradford infiltrates the sewers? Makes me wonder if the episode will take place before the last episode where he and Xever were mutated, or if they just used his human name in the description to keep people from learning when the mutation happens. __________________ "I like it.
