New Episode Discussion: "Junklantis" - Page 5

*J Legault* · 04-04-2004, 03:57 PM

Some kids at my High School think that one kid in class look like he's William Hung. But he doesn't even know who William Hung is.

Garbageman telling his henchmen his speech about garbage being power was also done in the first garbageman episode. ARe they going to have that if they have him a third time. Garbageman is a big fat ugly smelly stupid slob. He also orders the turtles about talking. Like in this ep he said I talk and you listen and in the first ep ,which made me laugh, he told mikey to shut up and then said I told you to shut up when Mikey kept insulting him. That was clever of mikey and don throwing the troopers in the brig and dressing up as them.
That was clever even though I have seen stough like that on other cartoons and in the first turtles movie when Casey beat up a foot soilder and dressed up in his clothes.

Meh it was an ok ep. I liked Mike's little "aren't you a little short..." crack ala Star Wars. That was pretty much it though.

Serp · 04-04-2004, 05:48 PM

I didn't think this episode was good, it wasn't horrible but it was far from good, There was some funny parts in it though.

**Machias Banshee** · 04-04-2004, 09:35 PM

Nice thread intro, Kali...

Okay, I'm gonna do my ep ranting for both CAW3 and Junklantis here.

CAW3
Damn! Karai's story was certainly interesting. Makes you wonder how many of these orphans and troubled kids Shredder took in as his children.

Speaking of children...

SPlinter!!! I cant believe he let Leo off like that!!! If i'd been Sp, I woulda showed up, kicked arse, grabbed Leo by the masktails and dragged him home to his friggen well-earned consequences! He's NOT going to do that with the other three and you know it. that 'gotta love Leo' bit's getting in the way of things... I would think that a leader would have to be made an example of, not given approval for disobedience and insubordination!!! Drag that boy to the dojo and run him through the ringers! Its a good thing Splinter's not a strict Japanese, or Leo'd be facing a caning!

The BioCytes thing was interesting. Nice use of the wormcloning. I cant help but wonder how in Gawd's name he managed to survive the implosion.

Junklantis

I tried to like this... I really did! I watched it with my 30 year old brother and his best friend, and they said it was bad too..!

The one thing i liked was Splinter getting soaked by the sewer water and then shaking it off like a dog. Serves him right for letting leo do that...*grumbles*

Mike did get annoying at times. And i had no idea that the Hudson river was THAT big! O.o the steel whale was interesting tho. Tentacles were slightly lame...and the shell sub was just another toy ploy, in my mind..

all in all, some downpoints mix with the good. you cant have perfection All the time...

*Roseangelo* · 04-04-2004, 10:51 PM

I really didn't think this episode was *that* bad.

I thought it was really neat that is was a Don and Mike story. We'd really only seen solo episodes or everyone episodes. I hope they do more of that.

*Drtooth* · 04-05-2004, 11:45 AM

It was pretty good for a filler episode (they can't show all the big ones at once, you know). Usually when they bring back characters in shows it seems cheesy, pointless, and out and out useless...

But with all 3 sequal episodes, they've really seemed to get something going.

Besides... Mikey acting like a goofus was the best part of my Saturday!

Relay · 04-05-2004, 01:25 PM

The lame villain Garbageman returns. The Turtles first bout with him was dumb, but to make a sequel?! Give me a break! The only thing that made getting up and watching the episode worth while were the Krispy Kreme doughnuts I was eating at the time. The Turtle Sub doesn't look a thing like the toy. Ah hell, this episode is not even worth the effort to explain all its faults. It was just plain bad.

*Jephael* · 04-05-2004, 04:11 PM

I wasn't sure whether or not they were going to air this episode or the repeat of "Tales of Leo" over the weekend, but I already knew ahead of time that I wasn't going to bother recording this one so I slept in and missed the first few minutes. Like most of you, I really liked the Don/Mikey chemistry, but the Garbageman character annoys the living hell outta me!

**GK Punk** · 04-05-2004, 04:29 PM

Normally, this is where I put my thought on the episode.

But this episode just isn't worth my time.

GohanWinner · 04-05-2004, 05:44 PM

This episode was...not that great. As was the first Garbageman episode. Honestly, of all the things they could have done here...they chose to put HIM back in. It was dissapointing.

This episode amused me greatly , as Mikey was a main char in it. It was nice to have a break from Leo and Raph for once.

Donny and Mike get so little spotlight, it was ncie to see them have an ep to themselves. I STILL love their character chemistry, always have. Mike's "Aren't you a little short fora junktrooper?" Line was the highlight of this episode, sadly. Though I must admit it made me laugh pretty hard. Star Wars homages are always cool.

The plot was weak....I mean, how could Garbageman possibly survive under there and build a whole stinkin' city? Meh, he was a stupid character anyway... There wasn't too much that was great about this ep....I give it a 5/10... Just...not very good, but not horrid either.

Edit: That hunter ep I forgot the name, seems kind've similair to a Mirage comic in Volume 1.... The premice of it, they went about it completely differently, but it DID seem similair to it.

Savanti Romero · 04-09-2004, 08:02 AM

Pretty good episode. The Star Wars reference was great. I think the garbage man is a good character. It's fun to laugh at people that fat. They should have made some fat jokes Mikey could say.

*Anarky* · 04-09-2004, 08:57 AM

i never saw the first garbageman episode(s), but i wonder how that garbageman got those crab-legs...

but the ep was not all that great. it was fun to watch but nothing really big.

GhostPoet · 04-09-2004, 11:59 AM

Why do turtles need a sub to go underwater?

I thought turtles could breathe in water?

Turtles are reptiles and reptiles can't breathe underwater. They have lungs not gills.

even If they had gills they wouldn't be able go to those kind of depths without a sub.

**Barkworm** · 04-09-2004, 02:53 PM

I expected a lot from the CAW-arc and was very disappointed, I expected nothing from this one and enjoyed it. It was a lot better than the crappy first Garbageman ep.

Oh, Lord, yes. Me, too. And what's worse, I heard somewhere that he's going to be SINGING! God help us all..... *shudders in disgust and prays he won't do so during commercials during the TMNT ep, which she's having to time-record so she can get the VCR on SLP speed-mode, due to accidently knocking the blasted VCR remote into a glass of ice tea and consequently ruining it*

Quite honestly, I liked it, too. Mike and Donnie should've figured out a way to take their weapons (Mikey's wouldn't've been THAT big a deal, I shouldn't think, as opposed to Donnie's bo, but still....), because they just got taken prisoners WAY too easily without them. But, basically, I liked the ep. And I'm definitely looking forward to the one tomorrow (the 10th). But then, I've like them ALL so far. Those that I've managed to catch since we got the satellite back, that is.

*J Legault* · 04-09-2004, 08:26 PM

Well Bad or Good, I enjoy this episode as much as Episode 9.

But it isn't like every episode of TMNT needs to be good.

I know other Great Cartoons series that had atleast one terrible episode.

Anyway just saying that it's not like a episode has to be perfect everytime.

I know the Casey Jones Fans will like tommorrows episode, I quarrenty it'll have the same action from "Lone Raph and Cub".
