I'd have said Irma, but...alas.
Ice Cream Kitty.

You know it's sad when you have to settle on a mutated ice cream pet cat as your favorite girl character

Hey we've also got Dr. Cluckingsworth M.D. even though her giant pulsating brain made me want to barf. She did a good job and helped Casey and Donnie out of a tough spot.

For the last time Kraang Prime is male, Ciro actually said this. Likewise Kraang Prime is intended to be the original Krang who was also male, so it makes sense.

Can we please just have Angel/Alopex/Mona Lisa in the show already and have them not be love interests or just cameos. (or new girls..IDC)

I fear for Renet.....T-T I want to believe she will be more than Mikey's crush...but I refuse to be hopeful.

Since Renet is an older women she'll probably just find Mikey's crush cute in a puppy dog manner, she won't respond to it.

Oh god, she's gonna be the Megan Fox of 2012.

I'd really rather it was her that was crushing, but given Mikey's affections toward others and general gregarious nature, I assume that prob won't be the case.


Anyway... So what are the choices so far anyhow.

April
Karai
Irma (?)
Ms. "Rocket Arms" Campbell
April Derp(s)
Ice Cream Kitty
Tea Time Girl
Mom-Thing (?)
Dr. Cluckingsworth
(edit) Bigfoot (?)
[Renet confirmed]

Am I forgetting any...

Really show? Really? lol *sigh*


Edit: Just realized the frogs kind of came across as being a colony of one gender... one female voice in one short line from an unnamed random frog could have helped that.

From the sketch we've seen she looks like an adult at least, or an older teen.

I'm thinking Mikey will act like how BeastBoy did with this crush on Terra.
I can't remember how that went down...but I don't remember it being annoying.......

I just hope it's a thousand times more subtle and charming than Apriltello...I mean if you HAVE to have Renet/Mikey moments at least make the experience bearable......or better yet enjoyable.

Some frogs will switch gender depending on the sex breakdown of the group. So...maybe some of them did that?

Anyway...Mom Thing was AWESOME.
If we'd gotten more than one episode with her, I'd have totally voted for her instead of ICK.

How do frogs switch gender? I've never heard of that before.

Really? It's just one of those bizarre Nature is Weird things.
I can't say how all amphibians do it, but the Marine Toad has an extra gonad that comes into play should the usual set get damaged.

It's part of the basic conceit of Jurrasic Park as well. They take the gaps in the dinosaur DNA and fill them using frog DNA, which then gives them the ability to swap as the environment allows and then breed unrestricted.

Here's the second link on the Google I just did:

Karai, easy. She's easily the most interesting and well-developed female character -- and one of the most interesting and well-developed characters on the show as a whole, really -- and Kelly Hu is great. Going forward, it'll depend on what they do with Snake Karai (which I kinda hope is short-lived).

I like April, but she could do with some better writing/characterization, IMO. There's potential there but I don't feel like they've really lived up to it.

But man, the show really needs more women. The property as a whole has had that problem, but now's the time to address/fix it.

I sincerely hope that mutating her was not because the writers had run out ideas on what to do with her.

Had she not been mutated then what have been the next thing for her? Seriously what else could they have done? Is being reunited with her true father is just when of those things that has be put on hold like the Capritello triangle thing until the end of the series?

I'm still kind of sad what it did to that storyline. Sure it made it an interesting twist that they will hopefully continue to write for, but... I'd really looked forward to that day she "came home" and was still looking forward to that whole situation with their now larger family and the new dynamics that would be established. As well as maybe seeing a friendship develop between April and Karai.

Well, who knows, I guess. No one still has any clue that she's a shape shifter and can still appear human, I hope they don't put that potential revelation aside as a minor forgotten detail.

You know damn well that they will from experience.
