New Episode Discussion - "Attack of the Mousers" - Page 7

TerranigmaFreak · 02-22-2003, 01:39 PM

Yet another great episode, not much action but VERY FUNNY. This episode was the funniest of the 3. What made this episode seem so short was because they explained their origins again. For us old people, we know it like the back of our hands, if not better. Of course this is a must have for those younger generation who didn't grow up with the TMNT. I can't wait for the next episode with Casey Jones. Oh yeah one question to those who read the previews, are the Triceraton gonna be in the show anytime soon?

beaker · 02-22-2003, 02:13 PM

Finally got to see last weeks episode and the new one.

1) Nice Kermit the Frog reference!

2) Michaelangelo, you rock for keeping the late 80's alive! Dont let that Raph be too hard on ya...totally cowabunga! (Is mikey the only one keeping the era of late 80's lingo and pizza alive?)
Loved the 'do you ever stop Mike?' comment!

3) April is DAMN hot...wow. Shes got such a cool personality, and smarts...very cool.

4) I enjoyed 2 and 3 much better than the first episode...and next week looks like an action packed bonanza when Casey debuts!

5) When the heck is he gonna turn into the Shredder? Hmmm...also hope nothing bad happens to Baxter.

6) Baxter rules...he wipes the floor with that weak little biotch from the old toon.

7) I cant wait for the new April figure! I also gotta say, still...TMNT is th eonly watchable show on FoxBox.

Thats all...its great to have TMNT back!

Heh, can't be any worse than what some fanboys are doing with my April in a towel drawing.

Okay, my review. First off, did anybody else catch that TMNT commercial that was on really early this morning? It had Don talking, and I turned it on right at "Some Turtles are meant to make things... and some are meant to break things." Then they go on to show Raph crashing his bike. Don's all, "Take the sewer slider, my brother Raph does." Then Raph proceeds to trash it, as well. The BEST part is that then Don starts chasing Raph around the lair with this HUGE sledgehammer! LOL! Man, it was great.

Okay, the ep: Totally loved it! It was so funny.
-Mike's wink at the beginning was so great and I loved April's reaction, as well as the guys' reactions to her. NOBODY had any idea of how to act.
-They showed the baby turtles. How CUTE! Love the part where one shook the ooze onto Splinter. Hey, if someone was holding you up by your tail, do you really think you'd be that happy?
-"Intelligence followed soon after." ROTFL!
-And after all Raph's jabs at Mike, there's Raph's "Especially you." line. Aww, that was so sweet. I knew there was a reason I loved him.

And I can't wait for the Casey episode.

Keno · 02-22-2003, 04:03 PM

I love Saturdays!! They are so exciting

I really love the relationship between the Turtles. And Mikey is really cool. He's silly but its not overboard, I dont know how to explain it.

Cima · 02-22-2003, 07:02 PM

Since I don't get FoxBox until Sundays, I'll just comment on one observation I have made:

This episode only has 7 pages of discussion...was it really THAT good?

Vroomkid · 02-22-2003, 07:08 PM

Yes, the episode is really that good.
And the origin story is a treat !

And April being hot....I don't know about that, dude. Maybe that's the reason she's wearing that half shirt - just to spice up our all macho -fantasies

**ThirdMarioBro** · 02-22-2003, 07:19 PM

Me and a friend had a bet on wether April would faint or scream when she woke up and saw the turtles. I said scream, so I win.

CoolWhip · 02-22-2003, 07:29 PM

I just got back from work, I watched it and absolutely loved it.

I love this show so much.

There were many great moments in it (all the ones mentioned previous to me)

I can't wait to see Casey!

*J Legault* · 02-22-2003, 08:16 PM

I liked the New episode. At least it showed that Splinter was a rat the whole time in that origin. I can't wait until the Casey Jones episode. It reminds me of the one sene in TMNT 1. I also can't wait until the turtles finally come face to face with Saki or Saki as Shredder.

I post how I like the 4th episode in a week.

it doesn't look like they'll be in season 1 but it looks very likely that they will be there at the start of season 2, since the story seems to be headed there (with the utroms and the TCRI building with splinter trapped etc).

But I think I read it somewhere that Triceraton will be in Season 1...one of the ep is focused on that...or maybe I'm just dreaming...gotta read that spoiler thing again

*Cascadia* · 02-22-2003, 10:54 PM

I really enjoyed this episode. This origin was very accurate with some twists...their childhood which was never shown in the movies, Mirage, or the first series. It was so cute when the baby shook the ooze off it landed on Splinter. I believe that was Mikey but I am not 100% positive.

Vroomkid · 02-22-2003, 11:02 PM

Yea, speaking of the whole childhood turtles ( I guess CMNT then?) Who's who exactly? Anyone wanna chip in their 2 cents? This will probably make a good trend....

Anyway, I agree that the ooze-shaking one is Mikey, and so is the one who's trying to walk on 2 feet when following Splinter (I just thought his walk and style resemble Mikey...imitating Splinter and all like in the 1st ep).

I thought the talking one was Donatello...cause it kinda has the same voice as the one being pushed in the pizza scene and the skin tone is kinda like Don's...the one saying "Mine" is probably Ralph....which makes in wonder...shouldn't Ralph be pushing Mikey? That's where I start to get confuse...probably we're never meant to know who's who anyway.

*Cascadia* · 02-23-2003, 12:13 AM

I will have to look at the skin tones again when they were children. I know that the one that said "Mine" is Raph

Keno · 02-23-2003, 01:11 AM

Ok some more on the April and Don connection, just because Im bored and Im rewatching all these episodes again!

In the credits when htey show April winking from the helicopter...DON is the one who jumps onto the rope!

AND....April always wears a purple shirt!!!!!!!!

Could these be subtle hints to suggest that they might hook up?

**Karpo_007** · 02-23-2003, 01:30 AM

Because I got the Episode so late, I couldn't watch it last night. I just finished ´watching it, and it truly seems the series will get bettter as it goes forward. I loved evrything about it, especially the origin.

Mikey the Party Turtle · 02-23-2003, 02:49 AM

I loved this episode, but there were a few nit-picks I didn't really like:
The way Baxter looked really cartoony when Saki called him up (Look at his face. He goes from

"MOney money!" to "

"What now?"

), also, Mikey running to do,"Slingshot" that splitscreen didn't need to be there, but other wise an awesome epsiode! I have guesses to who the baby-child turtles were:
- Turtle shaking ooze onto Splinter:Mikey (Look at the way Splinter looks at him then and now.

)
- Turtle who stands up, either Donny or Leo.
- Turtle who says,"Splinter...?" That was definitly Leo. Listen to his voice.

- Turtle who says,"Cowabunga!" the first time, Mikey
- "Mine!" Come on, who doesn't think this isn't "Hothead" Raph?

- Leo was the one that Mikey got thrown on by Raph, and I believe Donny is the one jumps in from the different angle.

Did anyone notice the turtles having all red bandanas in the flashback?

"This is a dream....oh hiiiiiii!"

"Er....hello April....how...are you doing...?"

"Ohhhh, I'm doing just...."

*Splinter walks in and April faints*

"You sure have a way with ladies sensei."

"AGGGGHHHHH!!!!" - April

"AGGGGGHHHHH!!! Don't do that! You made me nearly jump out of my shell!"

That brought up memorys of the movie....

Did anyone notice that the guy who pushes the blind man away from the TCRI truck was black, and the canister didn't strike his eyes?

Maybe Marvel Comics exces got to 4Kids....

Still, it was cool to see the semi-Daredevil aspect of the origin.

Anyone notice also that in the Casey preview, that they are driving the Battle Wagon, and at the end of it, Raph does Keneda's wipe out?

As I change a quote from myself...er...Mikey from TMNT 1:
"God I loved being a Turtle....fan!!!!!!!!!"

**Karpo_007** · 02-23-2003, 03:14 AM

Yeah I loved to see the baby turtles. In the old cartoon they grew instantly... I didn't like that.

Well, inter species hook ups have had a long tradition in comic books(see Tank Girl the movie or comic), heh.

Yeah, whys there only 7 threads? Dont tell me the excitement died down...granted I dont have tiem to look through all of last week's episode posts or this weeks.

Well, it illustrates the effectiveness of the new April if *I* say shes hot, heh. Seriously, she totally seems like someone I would date...fun, smart, spunky, creative, and very sexy! And that half shirt thing aint half bad, heh.

Oh! Forgot to mention! FINALLY...we have day time scenes! *whew* I was worried every episode would be like Batman the animated series(ie: all at night) That would just get boring. I also hope the massive amount of time spent in the sewers balances out...one can only stand pink sewage water and bland caramel stucko walls so long

Btw, good to see the Eastman/Laird cops again, heh.
