This.

As it stands, this episode gets a 9.9/10 from me!

Yeah it seems like it. And I wonder if that Car Bebops driving is the foot cruiser from the vintage toy line.

The new party wagon's license plate reads "LUVDCTR"

Was it referencing something or just random?

Love Doctor?

Looks like the license plate said "lover doctor" to me. The episode was awesome. I did like the fact that April got through to Splinter as well and they didn't drag his loosing he's mind for 3 episodes.

What's in the new intro? What's changed? Has the entire intro been revamped? Is Karai still shown as a "villain" along with Tigerclaw, Fishface,Rahzar, etc.?

billbot85 · 01-25-2015, 10:34 AM

Awesome episode, loved it! It was great to see the New Party Wagon in action and the turtles finally returning the city! I loved that the bomb had "Foot Stinks" written on it, nice reference. Glad to see Splinter finally reunited with them, too. The new intro is really awesome as well. A+ episode!

I couldn't take it all in as I was really excited but rememberd showing Leo in the vision quest and Donnie in the blimp and the new van and Bebop and Rocksteady.

*ObiWanFan4life* · 01-25-2015, 10:45 AM

Very well done episode, I liked the action, I'm glad they didn't keep on their vision quest outfits (although why they're in the opening, I have no idea), and I like how it finally explained *most* of everything that happened while the turtles were in Northampton. 9/10.

Zatoichi · 01-25-2015, 10:58 AM

I'm really liking that Tiger Claw is doubting Shredder, maybe we'll see Tiger Claw betray Shredder sometime in the future? Maybe convince Xever and Bradford that Shredder is completely out of his flipping mind and needs to be taken out?

*Powder* · 01-25-2015, 11:11 AM

That was GODLY.

*IndigoErth* · 01-25-2015, 11:22 AM

Hope Splinter at some point updates the boys on what he recalls going on with the city prior to losing his mind, as well as what - beyond the grief of believing his kids were gone, which I assume was also a factor - drove him so far as to entirely lose touch with his humanity.

Interesting outcome of what he meant by being disconnected from his body though.

*Vicky82* · 01-25-2015, 11:25 AM

I wonder if The Rat King had something to do with Splinter going feral.

I thought it was quiet wierd seeing Splinter without his Kimono on and running around only wearing underpants.

*IndigoErth* · 01-25-2015, 11:34 AM

Had crossed my mind, though I'd previously assumed the Rat King was gone, but knowing this show I guess it's possible he could still be lurking around.

And yeah... can't say I ever wondered if he even wore anything under the robe, but I guess now we know. lol

Splinter was just going through a Mid Life Crisis.

I find it weird that Shredder conveniently had a giant rat cage with a running wheel and water bottle to hold Splinter in.

aliena · 01-25-2015, 11:49 AM

How did they cram that much amazing in one episode? Wow, just wow! I loved the whole thing and it's completely made up for the first 7 episodes.

I was surprised to see the new intro, but it was due as they have changed. Seth has become Leo now and I'm good with him. It fits his new mature attitude.

I love that Leo says to find Splinter and then Karai, I figured they wouldn't even discuss Karai for a few episodes, but maybe they are going to get her back sooner rather than later.

I loved how April used her powers on purpose, she harnessed them and now they will probably use them a lot more.

I loved Baxter's new lab, the shrimp Shredder was a nice surprise for us all, the new party wagon, although I miss the Shellraiser, the wagon is in line with the movie turtles.

So much to love, that I couldn't take it all in with just the one viewing. They explained everything that we were complaining about. I wish I had trusted them to come through in the end, but I panicked.

I also think they will be wearing their vision quest costumes again at some point. Didn't they show a sneak peak with at least Leo wearing his? I would love to see them donning them from time to time.

How will Karai be now? I'm curious if she will still be Karai inside, both she and Leo are different and will have to get to know each other all over again.

Branden Aumen, who is the head writer/story editor

I wonder if all the other random mutants in NY were captured by the Kraang again like Snakeweed, Spiderbitez, etc.
