New Episode Discussion: "Reflections" - Page 3

Ah... I didn't think it was that bad for a clip show. I did like how they narrated the clips. That made it more interesting.

But by far, my favorite parts were at the beginning and end, when they're sitting there, talking.

Everyone already said my favorite lines of the show. Some of those were great.

Demonfox38 · 02-14-2004, 03:45 PM

lol, Casey needs Anger Mangement.

It was again kind of boring, but the conversations were worthwhile. (Is it me, or did they animate Splinter a lot thinner this time around?)

I didn't notice, he's always had a perfect rat shape body.

I think he just tie'in his robe a little.

You know, for a clip show, this one was pretty good. Sometimes when shows so them, the parts inbetween the old clips are lacking, since they're just there to give an excuse as to why they're just showing clips. I like how they actually had substance to them, from the training (we got to see their eyes again! *melts*), to April and Casey, to figuring out how Shredder was connected to them.

I also got a kick out of the T-files showed this morning. Mikey hitting himself in the face with pies. *shakes her head*

*terran631* · 02-14-2004, 06:10 PM

I must say...for a clip show it wasnt half bad. especially if you're like me and have been able to see the show only about half the time. I completely missed the whole Triceraton thing...(figures they wouldnt show clips of that) And several other episodes before and after that. But I liked the training stuff. The whole pulling on the mask thing amuses me. Guess Splinter needs something to yank on with them not having any visible ears.

Watch out for the gram crackers!

Stefano · 02-14-2004, 06:32 PM

when they flashed back to the shredder strikes part one it had shredder talk about how he learned from his master and they learned from their master, in the original i think it said something about generation after generation. Ill have to check but i think they did change it

**Machias Banshee** · 02-14-2004, 06:48 PM

I agree with Terran *kicks Terran* and Kali, this was an excellent quality clip show. The trainging, their eyes, Mike and his gamedude, April blushing

, and so much more...

Somebody had BETTER get some screencaps of this!

*Stone Ill* · 02-14-2004, 07:08 PM

I'm still quite confused with the pupil thing.

Without the masks, they have pupils. Yet, when the put them on, they are gone. But as we already have seen, where the eyes go, those are just oridinary holes.

What's the dillio?

yeah it also seemed to me that they changed a few things from the clips. not sure if it was the speech or the animation, but it looked different (and don't say it was because they cut some parts, because i know that already

)

I've always justified it as an innate ability that the Turtles have... they can "whiten" out their eyes at will. Makes 'em look much more intimidating. And hey, if Gargoyles can do it...

Also on the subject of pupils... Has anyone ever noticed that during the opening credits of the show, Shredder has pupils, but in the actual episodes, his eyes are always solid red? Again, I think the solid colored eyes look *much* better. It's just an all-around cool look.

It's just the art style, whan Batman holds his mask up, it doesn't have any white filters over the eyes, just ordinary holes.

In other words, ypu have to just forget reality a little for the sake of something that looks cool.

As for the epp, I was dissapointed it was just a clip show, but the begening (the trippy "every villian we ever faced" thing) and seeing the TMNT without their masks made it worthwhile. Besides, you need slow eppisodes like this for the sake of the characters; you don't want them hurdled through space or fighting exterestrial ninjitsu masters ( who, I might add, despite having advanded technology, prefers to stab enemies to death with blades) every single week, give 'em a break

i think the shredder thing is like that because they originally wanted to give him pupils, but then thought better of it. and they just didn't change the opening because they probably think it's not worth it for such a small detail.

I'm sure that's all it is. It's just something I noticed and wanted to nit pick.

Aw, the only one I saw was the Don one. (Which, I was happy enough to see anyway) But I wish I'd seen the others. The only other one I've seen was the April one awhile ago.

I'd really like to get those on the DVDs.

I MISSED THE THING WITH THE PIES?!?!

Ah, spoot. *kicks a rock away from her foot*

Anyways...I liked the episode today. The wrestling at the end was classic and what Casey said made me LMAO so hard. "PILE ON!!!"

Seeing the boys and Case wrestle....*sighs*....ah....that's the stuff that fictions are made of.

*long pause* Wait a minute...

*bolts*

LOL! Yep. It was called "Lessons" if I remember correctly. Splinter was talking about how tasks like farming, clearing bamboo, and baking pastries, built up the skills needed to be a true ninja. The pie thing was funny, the lesson was supposed to be to "deal with the unexpected" or something like that. So Raph stuffs a pie in Mikey's face. Mikey decides he likes this, and starts hitting himself with the pies.

They better put these files on the DVDs.

Another thing. I might have to check a third time, but something struck me as kinda strange. When we saw the Turtles without masks, Don and Mike had black eyes, while Raph still had his brown. Can't remember seeing Leo's. Just wondering if my eyes were playing tricks.
