I disagree. I think this was the by far the best episode of Fast Forward. I'm not saying it was the episode that I enjoyed the most, but i think it was the by far the best overall episode. It was the best episode because the everyone acted in character for the first time. Splinter was actually Splinter and Raph showed some of the majority he had gained in the later parts of the 2k3 series. Plus, Leo wasn't captured like an idiot like he was in the horror movie episode. Instead it took an insider (his brother) who was infected to get close enough to infect him. Everyone acted so much more like the 2K3 characters. And I didn't mind Cody nearly as bad when he was infected, although it only lasted a few seconds. I was really hoping his human DNA would cause him to be premanately trapped like that.

I know I've mostly given up on it... I don't have my own TV and that makes it difficult to begin with, and the beginning eps of FF convinced me that it wasn't worth the effort to find a TV and watch. In a residence hall, the TVs are in the open... and while I wasn't embarrassed to be caught watching 2k3, I would be embarrassed to be caught watching this. And that's ignoring the fact that the art style (and to a lesser extent, the animation) hurts my eyes.

And recently Youtube was blocked from the on campus network (I've been hearing everything from "the stress streaming video puts on it" to "inappropriate content" ...either way, it sucks) so it looks like I'll have to bend over even further to watch it.

And I just don't have the motivation. I'd sooner watch my 2k3 DVDs, or maybe even something else.

That said, if the Dark Turtles are up for next week, I may try to catch it... as it's the only part of FF's premise I found vaguely interesting. *shrug* That's why I've been keeping up on the talkbacks, if not the episodes themselves. I want to know what happens, but I'm not really pumped to actually watch the thing to find out.

Ohoho. I'm going to pretend you didn't say that.

Honestly, If I had the ability, I'd copy some tapes and give it to people for free. But I do not have access to that equiptment. I still wonder how long things stay on Youtube before they are uncerimoniously pulled off the site, due to copywrite issues. I'd think that something like FF (being current) would be the first to go.

I know 4Kids used to have streaming video at their site. I saw an episode of Kirby with a friend to show it to him for the first time at their site.

Aside from Splinter being mostly useless, I think everyone has always been in character from the getgo. Aside from Raph yelling, "Cowabunga" and Donny naming his inventions, these are the same damn Turtles from the previous seasons.

While I'm some one who likes the show I've got to say throw Leo in as well he's really off to me untill now. That thing with him getting snatched up so easily in the horror movie episode botherd the living hell out of me more so than anything else in fast forward so far.

Mmmmk I finally got to see this episode. So what do I think I like the idea and all I think it's pretty safe to say Sh'okanobo is the Lord Dregg of the new TMNT though.
The pigeon was cool I enjoyed the opening with Viral & Sh'okanobo.
Enjoyed Jay's hot dog place and jay how true to NYC lol.
Splinter made me laugh with his joke about it's better left that some things are unknown like what hot dogs are made of lol.
I don't know but them all standing there burping got on my nerves.
Loving Serling and Splinter talking lol. & aww poor Serling Man that guys stress level must be through the roof lol.
Ok wow Mikey hitting Don like that was just woah! As well as him eating vegetables lol ok wow he just up and threw Leo, Raph, & splinter now that's a bit much but still wowza.
Oh I'd also like to add while the style is still something I don't care for The animation in this episode is very good!
Ahahhaha omg I'm so sorry but him throwing up the black gunk on Leo was so funny man he's had that commin' for years!
Ok wow I love that design!! I want a An Evil Sh'okanmikey figure lol!
So He hits Don again and that line "everyone stay back...ok this is a safe distance" is a very 80's Don line.
hahaha Ok I'm sorry but that one made me laugh also Serling bitching about the kitchen and Mikey tosses his butt across the room lol.
Ok I also find it funny him hopping around on all fours.
ok "it's ninja time!!" really needs to go!
Ahahhaha Leo gnawing on Don's Bo is priceless moronic but priceless!
And everyone may hate Cody's robot but I don't know all I can say is that better come out as an action figure.
I also must say it's nice to see Splinter doing some good in the episode finally and being himself again.
Wow I love the infected people I don't know why but I love the look of spikey purple people.
Ok So se now see where that Sh'okansplinter figure comes from I really do hope we gets some turtles like that I'm sorry to repeat myself but I love how they look! Oh my and Cody how Rad now that's a Cody figure I want!
um Ok I don't that either what everyone else said about the pigeon at the start of the episode being able to go out in the sun but it kills all the other viruses...mmhmm plot hole.
Ok see now Splinter for some reason he's funny he burped I laughed...and his "why do I taste raw hot dogs?" line that's funny stuff to! I don't know why but when the turtles burp it's not funny to me perhaps because it's expected.
I'd also like to make the comment that it's also nice to see other humans for once.
uh oh I think Sh'okanobo's gonna pull a Mr. Burns and try and block out the sun! dun dun dun Darius Dunn!
I Liked this episode allot it's leading up to something big but I'd give it a 6 or 7 out of 10.

heh, for this alone I think I want to see this episode. I've been waiting for years for Mikey to hit one of his brothers back. I wish some one would make an animation of that for me.

Putrescent, how come you say Leo deserved getting vomited on?

It was funny though and I actully quite enjoyed this episode I watched it again lastnight. and yea I miss people making screen caps for the show no one does it anymore.

Randomly watched this last weekend and thought it holds up well. The Konabo-drone turtles would be cool figures, but I doubt that would ever happen.
