I'm guessing they may have just said it to cover, just incase they ever use it again. (Instead of having a gigantic plot hole)

**Karpo_007** · 09-28-2003, 09:25 AM

Yeah, thats what I think too.

*Eye of Sarnath* · 09-28-2003, 04:00 PM

I actually wrote quite a lengthy post on this episode, then lost it. Oh well...

I think this was a good episode, but it hasn't yet come close to The Shredder Strikes or the Shredder Strikes back arcs. I think it moved a little too fast, actually... I mean, they go after Shredder right after they get back? I'd think they'd want a little more time to prepare. I think the next two eps are gonna be really kick-ass though, most likey right up there, if not better than The Shredder eps. We get to see the battle with the clones, robo-Baxter, more scuffles with Hun and the Foot, and of course, the ultimate battle with Shredder. They had better make it a good one!

*XERO* · 09-28-2003, 08:03 PM

This episode kicked serious shell! Too bad the BattleShell got destroyed, but they'll probably make another one, better than ever.

BTW, I loved the videogame references. Maybe my Turtle should narrate this episode and ride the Foot vehicle instead of Raphael. It definetly fits him!

*Jephael* · 09-28-2003, 08:06 PM

I'd like to see April narrate an opening. So far she's the only goodguy secondary character who hasn't narrated.

Stefano · 09-28-2003, 08:07 PM

it would be cool if baxter narrerated the next one.

*jeff the cheff* · 09-28-2003, 08:29 PM

It would be funny if they cut hun's rat tail off in the next episode...

I dont know why i said that..but its true!

What's a "rat tail"?

Peanut · 09-28-2003, 08:48 PM

A rat tail is the little bit of hair on the back of his head.
Anyways I thought this episode rocked! I kinda wondered why the turtles had so much trouble with the foot tech ninja's, but oh well. I went totally nuts when I saw the Shredder clones. This is truly a masterful cartoon. How it can get any better I don't know, but it seems like we say that every week, and for that I am thankful.

*jeff the cheff* · 09-29-2003, 05:39 PM

Hun's rat tail isnt little! It's huge, especially since he is so tall..and it goes down to his ass!

*Jephael* · 09-29-2003, 05:42 PM

I'd say it only goes down to his shoulder. See how it's usually draped over his neck?

lethrhd · 09-29-2003, 05:58 PM

great episode all round, can't wait till the fight with the clones, hope next weeks ep is as action packed as this one was. Also I'd love to see some Utrom/Guardian support, I mean there supposed to be allies and they barley help em' at all.

I wonder if he's actually pretending it's like the Chinese queue(sp). The Chinese warriors from midevil days wore those too, and it was usually a long thick braid that was never cut.

Because the electronic ones sent shocks through the suits, so they's short circuit.

when he threw the shuriken it messed up the cloaking device but they also got knocked out.....?

re- they got electrocuted and passed out from the pain

*jeff the cheff* · 09-30-2003, 06:48 PM

That makes sense...but why didnt they just throw a normal shuriken and knock him out?

Blaze DTGG · 09-30-2003, 07:28 PM

I have to say I knew I was going to love this episode as soon as I heard Raph say the intro

"Someone once said...the only difference between men and boys is the size of their toys...Well if that's true then I just became a man..or at least an ADULT Mutant Ninja Turtle."

I think I hurt myself I was smiling so hard. I have to say the rest of the episode did not dissapoint.

I loved the interaction between Don and April. and as much as I hated seeing the battle shell trashed. Don's reaction was great.

although what bothered me was the invisible ninja's. why didn't they just do what leo did the first time he met them.. turn their masks around...
I dunno. maybe thats just me..

anyway.. LOVED the episode.. cant wait for next weeks

I was thinking about this question...

Well, just think, when you only have to worry about protecting yourself, you can do like what Leo did.

but when youre leading a group, you want to protect everyone. Leo probably got so worked up in trying to protect his family, it just didnt work in this situation...

They may be able to say 'Oh shell' but they can't make people bleed. Getting hit by a normal shuriken somewhere else would end up as a messy affair. Even if it did hit the cloaking device, it would only have a small chance of ruining it. By having the battery attached it not only cut it in half, but also short curcuit everything so it was ruined and unable to be used again.

PanMan · 10-01-2003, 04:02 PM

about the battle shell, i kinda hope they don't make another one since they look alot better traveling from rooftop to rooftop. but considering all the other vehicles they have, they probably will re-build it. and the idea that leo may have avoided a plot hole by saying that to don could be true too.

to whoever said that the guardians should help the TMNT, well, they think the turtles are dead. so ovbiously they can't help them. and i think it's better that way. it's the turtles' fight, which is why casey's with april.

Mondo J. Gecko · 10-01-2003, 04:08 PM

Ya, I'm with PanMan this is the Turtles Fight, and its also Splinters fight as well I'mean Shredder did kill his master, right? And I hope they make a sweet new battle shell or a blimp
