Official Episode Discussion S4 Ep 22: The Power Inside Her *Episode 100*

[ssjup81]

I just finished watching the ep. I liked it, but poor Raph and Splinter. Really sounded like their bones were breaking and Raph looked like he had Bonitis Futurama style. Also, I like the subtlety of hinting towards this happening. Even in that ep where Donnie was stung and Mikey looked at Donnie and April worried. Ok, reaching, but Mikey does have a sixth sense about stuff like that.

Oh, Splinter getting on April for her addiction...I just wanted him to "keep it real" and say, "April, you're addicted to meth/crack. You need to lay off." And Donnie could say, "Drugs are bad, mmmkay." ^^

I liked the irony of Donnie telling Splinter that he was sure that he could get through to April and how he technically didn't...Raph did.

I really enjoyed Casey this ep and his, "Casey Jones makes no promises" line made me laugh for some reason. The chase scene worked too as Casey followed them because they were leaving. I also liked Casey's reaction to April. It was perfect, imo. Like the callback to Mutagen Man. Think they'll finally conclude that sometime in season 5? They namedropped the Rat King and then we got that ep dealing with him.

The part where Raph was pretty much saying they had to kill April was intense. What I found off about it was that they were going to make Mikey do it. I was expecting Leo to since, you know, he's the LEADER.

The ending was kind of expected but I wish they would've drawn it out slightly and maybe had April realize it while in the lair. Bring Donnie back together but them not knowing it and not discovering this until the next ep, but that would probably ruin the flow of the next ep.

The reason I was expecting Donnie to come back somehow is because I just can't imagine a main character (a good guy) being killed out. Supporting cast, yeah.

i was actually kind of happy there for a moment when i though April actually killed Donatello.
if he stayed dead at least it'd been the end of Apritello.

We haven't really seen anything from that lately to be honest though.

At least Hun had his own criminal empire and episode, Xever and Bradford has crap and I sometimes forget Tiger Claw even exist

So should they kill April or Don

both

better to be sure, right?

[DrReagan]

Okay but does anyone else hope April keeps her hair down like it was at the end from now on? I never liked the ponytail at all, and this is very much better.

In one of the scenes where it showed Tiger Claw summoning Kavaxas, April had her hair back to normal. This may be in Season 5 though and April could keep her hair until the end of S4.

[ssjup81]

People still complain about the whole Donnie x April thing? It's barely even referenced at this point. They drop a hint with it every once in a while, but not enough worth talking about because the show focuses on...you know, PLOT.

Yeah I thought it was very harsh of Raph to make Mikey kill April.

If Raph told Mikey to kill Rahzar, he would of done it. Making him kill April would have been too much for Mikey.

The brain should have had a mask

Spoiler:

But in all seriousness, this reminds me of how weird it is that they have teeth, real life turtles don't but for some reason they have always been depicted with teeth. What might actually be weirder in context of their design, is that the skull has a nostril hole but they have no visible nostrils otherwise, hell, by the looks of this it seems like muscle covers the hole.

Attention to detail! Donnie's tooth gap was clearly visible in his skeleton view!

[THGhost]

Wow, I'm surprised that level of detail is even allowed on Nick.

Really? Tiger Claw? He's no doubt Shredder's most badass henchman. I often forget that Fishface exists.

Tiger Claw doesn't really have much in terms of personality or any major impact on the story either, I'll grant you that he (might) be more "badass" than the others but that doeesn't really make him interesting. He's been around since season 2 and it's still a little while (either the end of season 4 or start of season 5) until we get to explore his backstory in-depth, so it's not that weird some people find him forgettable.

[TigerClaw]

I thought it was a pretty good episode, plenty of emotions on this one, and I knew they would bring back Donnie in the end.

That's not true nea, Tiger Claw has had the most personality and some of the better moments in this series than any of the others. He's taken offense and/or questioned some of Shredder's decisions and/or orders in episodes such as "Vengeance is Mine", "The Invasion", "Return to New York", "Annihilation: Earth!", "Darkest Plight", etc.
Granted, as interesting an enigma as his character is, he's also frustrating at times. He'll do or say something reasonable such as in episodes like those already mentioned, but before you know it he'll do or say something as stupid as the other villains. He still has the most potential of the secondary villains, it just needs to come to fruition.

[TigerClaw]

At least this episode mentioned Mutagen Man.
