I love how much Metalhead is being used lately. Did anyone catch him in the opening?

LOL man we've seen him in the opening since the start of season 2 lol.

I thought it was a great episode. I looked at it like this Donny telling Mutagen Man all the good qualities about April so he latched on to that and maybe developed feelings for her of some sorts. The cartoon was more of an homage to Voltron then Power Rangers. The stealth scene was awesome. I love Mutangen Man he was awesome. The sound of his voice was pretty cool!

Not to mention Don said that Tim was lonely.

I know what Don said, but it still doesn't make sense to me. How does hearing Don complain about April make Tim want to be her friend? And did he seriously not have enough common sense to just stay in the lair? Did he really think a girl he never met would accept a giant monster appearing out of nowhere trying to be her friend? If Tim was lonely, he should have just stayed with the turtles. Don made him a voice box so he could communicate, so he would've probably made him limbs at one point or another too. Maybe I'm just over thinking it.

We're talking about Tim here, think about that lol
Common sense and Tim do not go hand in hand.

I liked it still not better than my favorite episode so far in this version but I like it. So Casey goes with April because he needs a tutor to keep up his grades to stay on the Hockey team? IDW anyone? The easter egg I noticed was the Laird voice box, could be more but it as the only one I saw.

Yup I noticed the voice box I poste in the Easter egg thread. Might have been the only Easter egg in the show.

Great episode, though I wish Tim was going after April for Donnie, not himself but it is what it is. I really can't wait for the Target: April O'Neil episode which I believe is next.

I also like the Voltron series wannabe.

[PizzaFaceDelivers]

I loved this episode! Mutagen Man is one of my all-time favorite TMNT characters and I really enjoy this new take on him so far. Mutagen Man aside though, I'm still not sold on this version of Casey. I love his new design, but the personality and voice didn't do much for me in this episode. Hopefully that will improve as we see more of him throughout this season.

I know this is kinda illegal, but if someone can find a link of this episode, could you please pm me? Thanks!

[oldmanwinters]

Heh, this episode was almost a metaphor for my own personal life over the last few months.

Voltron you mean. Although I do like how the robot looked more like Mazinkaiser Z. I'll post my thoughts later on, but wow, it's so sad to see what Timothy has become. As for Casey, this is the first time we see him before he became a vigilantee. He was always a crimefighter from the first time we see him. I kinda hate how he started putting moves on April right from the start. They're gonna go through the whole thing where 'the guy is an asshole, the girl hates him, eventually falls for him cause hey, girls love assholes, right?' trope.

...just watch it on tv...?

[Chaotix12345]

Great episode. Mutagen Man was cool/creepy and it was a nice, subtle intro for Casey without showing everything in their hand at once. The new Voltron parody series was also quite amusing. I hope that becomes a running gag from season to season: One of the Turtles discovering a new parody of an old cartoon. Maybe in Season 3, Raph can discover a Street Sharks parody and the bros endlessly complain about how much it's ripping them off.

[JTH]

Another great episode, IMO the best of Season 2.

Man, I don't know what it is about Donatello, but I've never connected with a character in all the Turtles incarnations more than Donnie in this adaptation.

He's just written so well, and most the episodes surrounding his character are some of the most powerful ones.

The fact that he's fighting with his feelings and emotions, and now that Timothy turns on him because the Turtles attacked him and that they weren't his real friends (Which in a way I don't think Leo, Raph, & Mikey ever really were Timothy's friend), now in a way, Donnie's lost another friend based on actions caused by his brothers.

It's just something you wouldn't wish on anyone.

[raph27]

Did anyone notice we saw pre-mutated ICK?

[Electric]

great episode. love this version of casey, and although i already hate how theyre making casey and april seem like a couple, i can get past it. and, i liked seeing april finally fight, and the beginning of casey fighting.

also am enjoying leos new obsession with training his brothers. im seeing this as one of the maturities the writers talked about that we would see throughout the series, and it kinda reminds me of 2k3

my only problem is that the next episode sounds like it will be a less serious/important episode for the season, and after seeing this one, i feel like it will be a let down

[Coola Yagami]

I kinda hated how Mike and Raph just flat out attacked Timothy without trying to talk him down first. These idiots are so short sighted. It's like they forgot he used to be a kid. If it wasn't for that line Leo said at the end, it's like everyone except Don forgot he was a human. They really did treat him like crap since day one. Being an annoying doofus doesn't really justify all that.

[AdamWarlock87]

Yup I saw premutated Ick. It's always cool to see the next mutant coming even if we don't see them till later on in the season.

Yeah didn't really like that either. I know the guy was annoying but he didn't deserve that. Mikey treats him as an aquarium Raph...Moving on, I hope Casey isn't a brain dead doofus like 2k3 (despite liking that version) so far thats the impression I got from him. Not bad just not much.
