Something just dawned on me as I was watching the preview of next weeks episode, the Intro still has the 2k3 style scene in it...I guess that's how the intro will always be...cobbled together.

So are the actual episodes. Check the discussion thread for "Hacking Stockman." While the Turtles are running across the rooftops, they blatantly use a shot of Mikey's foot from an earlier season. It wasn't even an essential shot. They just stuck it in there to save, like, two dollars I guess.

I posted a picture of it. Lazy, lazy, lazy.

Okay, finally watched it...

This ep was More than corny.. There were a lot of funny moments, especially the nonsense with Raph and Leo. While the ep seemed out of place storywise, it was inevitable. With how big WoW and these types of games are, it would have been foolish not to have mentioned it a Little bit.. Personally, I don't know anything about gaming outside of the stuff I learned from watching RvB. Otherwise I would have been clueless.

I'm just waiting for someone to make a Gif of Raph doing his little song and dance...

As for next week... this is the sucky part of knowing stuff ahead of time. If I didn't know what I do, I would have been more revved up... but that goes for all of the episodes.

This episode really didn't accomplish anything. Well, there were the Splinter bits, but that was it.

That being said, I didn't hate it, nor do I regret watching it. Definitely not the worst episode of the season. I don't see how anyone can think that. Not after the abysmal Serling episode.

The Ultimate Gamer looked like Tootie, from the Fairly Odd Parents. Wonder if that was intentional.

This season has been such a mess. They tease us by going back to the 2k3 roots and then they turn around and go back to the FF garbage. Make up your minds already!

That's why it's called "filler." Even though you're right, there has been too much filler for a season like this, like I said either the guys are hoping to finish their work quota or they really think that they'll be able to pull out another season.

How is this considered filler? The whole point of the season is to put Splinter back together, and that's what they were doing in this episode.

I got some good chuckles out of this episode, but fell out of my seat - literally - with laughter upon Hun being the Elfanator. Seriously, out of all of the characters, that one was the furthest from my mind as being a player. I would have placed Karai or Touch & Go or even Nobody above Hun on that list.

Maybe the fact that I set and listen to a group of no less than eight MMO nerds (my co-workers) drone on about this stuff all day, that I thought the jokes poking fun at them were spot on.

They can do that without throwing what seems to be continous birthday parties for a retarded eight year old child

See, this is what the series doesnt do at all. Casey and April have a baby (Shadow), CASEY is the one that dies, and Donny falls in love with April and raises Shadow with her. It'd fit the context of their relationship as canocial soul mates in the series and honours a classic comic story without adapting it the way it was.

Why does everyone have such a weird obsession with Donatello being paired with April? My God, they're like siblings to one another! That's creepy!

I thought Hun being the Elfinator was hilarious. After all if he only knew...

Spoiler:
Oh wait, I've got the perfect scenario!

Casey dies while out on a mission with the Turtles. They feel somehow responsible and swear never to speak of it to anyone, especially April. So Donatello creates a holographic device [or digitizes himself a new persona, or uses some mystical Foot medallion to channel up his inner ki, etc. etc.] to create a Casey Jones disguise. From that point on Donatello and "Casey" are never seen together again. Every time one is present, the other is conveniently absent. Donatello is happy with April, April is happy with "Casey", the Turtles live with the shame of the elaborate coverup eventually resulting in psychological trauma from repression, and Don and April further their research and create O'Neil Tech! And Shadow never knows the truth...

I agree. I am relieved the series didn't go that route, though I thought it was implied early on to some degree. But I do like to poke fun at the whole notion, and the fans who clamor for the Beauty and the Brain matchup.

And in some ways, she's like their mother.

Oh maybe because gosh some people did enjoy FF more than this, and oh maybe because some people do indeed like Serling, which btw added more to the story and a character than this episode ever will.

I'm sorry but this is much worse than anything I've seen come from FF, and this is a new season so seriously can people drop all the unimportant FF whining already, it's really on my last nerve.
