I don't know. She probably just had a lot on her mind at the time and Casey, seemingly, was trying to woo her, I guess you could say. She was also worried about Raph at that time.

Her father was mutated, her best friend turned out to be a Kraangbot, Leo was was seriously injured, Splinter was defeated by Shredder...I'm sure all those things are (were) on her mind. I was under the impression that the last thing on her mind involves anything relating to romance with all those heavy things on her mind, especially the Irma thing. No matter what, I'm sure she probably still blames herself for the invasion.

You do have a point there, SSJup, and I can definitely see that being her focus since she's the one who brought Irma to the Lair.

I'm sorry but you're not going to get me to change my mind. April was a real brat in that one moment.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-19-2014, 04:56 PM

She may have seemed bratty, but she's going through a lot in that time with her dad being mutated yet again, bringing a Kraang into the Lair resulting in the invasion itself, Splinter being gone, Leo being injured, and the fact that they all had to leave the city. Plus Casey was kind of being flirty here, and April didn't want to deal with it.

CharmedSerenity · 10-19-2014, 05:02 PM

And Casey wasn't, his family were missing...

Like I said, I didn't like April's attitude in that scene so let's drop it and move on.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-20-2014, 11:23 AM

Casey was acting like April owed him something when she didn't. She was just telling him how she was feeling and that's that. You'd be pretty bratty too if that happened.

I suggest we drop this before it gets out of hand as we have completely different opinions on the matter.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-20-2014, 03:47 PM

I'm not trying to argue with you, CS. I'm just explaining why April may have been acting that way just so you can see why she may have come off as bratty.

*BabyTurtles* · 10-20-2014, 04:23 PM

you guys can have different opinions.....XD

*IndigoErth* · 10-20-2014, 04:25 PM

As a side note to the talk of not seeing Raph barefaced... After being able to get all this fresh air and sunlight, you think they're gonna go back to NYC with mask shaped tan lines?

*BubblyShell22* · 10-21-2014, 08:19 AM

Ha, that would be hilarious if they did have tan lines.

I'm just like, wow. Don't any of these execs have their own little girls to observe and ask what it is that they want to see to entice them to buy their toys? Last I looked, wasn't Barbie and My Little Pony and Frozen huge sellers in the toy world? What makes them think girls don't buy toys?

It's nowhere near as simple as 'Execs are evil and hate the shows I like'.

Season 2 of Young Justice is coming to Blu-ray, just so you know

I can't say that parody of Friday 13 is an awesome start for the new season. More like confusing start.

I liked April's narration in the begining and stuff about Turtles relationship and reaction to the past events, but I absolutely didn't care about stuff with monster. I am not big fan of horror movies and Friday 13 in particular, so the whole thing was just not my cup of tea.

Leo's new voice definitely will take some time to used to. It's sounds VERY different from his previous voice(s) in this series.

I give this episode 1,5 Jasons out of 3.

*BubblyShell22* · 11-03-2014, 11:32 AM

As weird as it sounds, I'm not a fan of horror movies, but I loved this episode. Love Leo's new voice (even though it was a bit jarring at first to hear it because I wasn't sure how he was going to sound) and the overall plot seemed great for me. All of the horror movie references haven't been that bad for me.

Unfortunately for me, unlike seasons 1 and 2, so far, season three has yet to have an episode I care to see again. There might be clips that I like, but the episode itself, i could care less. I hope this changes, because right now, the odds of me actually buying this season don't look too good.

I actually kind of regret buying the last volume (second half of season 2) since Wrath Of Tiger Claw, Newtralized, Vengence is Mine and Dimension X are the only episodes I care to see again.

On the drome? I thought that was against the rules?

Finally got caught back up with the new season, loved the beginning. So many great moments, I wish they would have continued with April's narration for the rest of the episode. I would have loved to see more of the turtles struggling alone.

I was quite shocked by the rest of the episode, I wasn't expecting it to have so many horror tropes in a season opener. I had to turn it off and fast forward through parts just not to scare my kids. Should have pre watched it before letting my little ones watch.

After the thrill ride they took us through in the season finale, this episode felt like a huge let down. I didn't feel any of the weight of what happened after the first few minutes of this episode. When compared to the last episode this one just doesn't measure up.
Leo's voice will take some getting use to, Seth isn't my choice for Leo. Biggs had the perfect pitch, but I'll tag along for now and see where they take this.

I guess I'm the same. I'm not big on horror either, but I'm finding these horror references funny...although, so far for this season, the ep I've rewatched the least has been Within the Woods. I had not prob with a tired Raph getting caught (it was mentioned that he'd remained vigilante over Leo while in his coma, so it makes sense if his game is off)...I'm still lost on the plant thing. Wish they just would've made him an ordinary turtle instead. TBH, I was wondering if it was a bad dream Raph was having, but I know better. There's nothing about it that was too farfetched for that....like Pizzaface.

But if they did that then the Creep would be a retro-mutagen cure mutant and they wouldn't have keep using April's dna.

So....suck the mutagen out of the body... Yeah, guess you're right...but a plant still didn't really make any sense...

Nope it doesn't but from a writer's standpoint it would have downplayed the importance of the retro-mutagen but it would better have Raph be an infected zombie.
