I'm pretty sure most if not all of the 2K3 cartoon has episode talkbacks already. I only did a few right now but will be editing until I finish this. You can comment on any errors I may have done. I'm missing the flash episodes and the Mayhem From Mutant Island on the list, i'm not sure how I'll list those yet.

I will try to do one season per day in backwards order. Today I did BttS, FF and LS. I will do S4, S3, S2, S1 the following days.

I was very wrong, I thought most episodes had talkbacks but apparently not...I most have confused it with Toon Zone.
Edit: Nevermind most episodes do appear to have a talkback but if they dont heres this anyway since I already posted it.

Anyway since most episodes don't appear to have "nice" looking talkbacks and some consistency you can just copy the format from below and steal the image its hosted on imageshack:

Quote:

Episode #X "Episode Name"
Original Air Date: Month Day, 200X

Synopsis (Grab the short one from Wikipedia)

Episode Synopsis and other info
(just link to the episode you are making a talkback about)

Discuss!

For the lazy who just want to copy and paste my format:

Ooh, just a quick detail, might want to change "Ar Date" to "Air Date". Not a biggie in this thread alone, but more of our less astute members would likely miss it and soon everyone would think that the date for Talk Like A Pirate Day keeps changing and have something to do with TMNT

*ToTheNines* · 07-12-2009, 01:26 PM

Could someone explain why the Ninja Tribunal went through the trouble of training acolytes when they were powerful enough to combat the Demon Shredder?

They might explain, but I don't feel like watching that season again.

*gobo* · 07-12-2009, 03:58 PM

For one thing, you are correct about "talkback" being a ToonZone thing. However, could you edit your list on the first post of the thread for me? Either omit "Nightmares Recycled" or, preferably, add the cancelled Fast Forward Season 2 as "Season 7" and change BttS to "8". Just in case you haven't noticed yet, the ep titles were given here and the full "Master Fighter 2105" animatic can be unlocked and viewed on 4kids.tv.

So, why am I so eager to get FF Season 2 mentioned? The more people discuss it, the more likely we'll ever get to see the rest of them released to the public INCLUDING "Nightmares Recycled". Now, I'm pretty sure there is a way to strike-through a title to make it more obvious that it was cancelled, but I'm not sure how. I'll have to get back to you on that.

They didn't explain. They slightly hinted that the unwritten rules of mystic warfare prevented The Tribunal from destroying The Demon Shredder... but, I somehow expect that The Tribunal collectively deciding that they're too old for this crap is more likely.

I guess. But they're seemingly invincible, so I still hate The Lost Season (that's not the only reason).

Invincible is as invincible does. Personally, I like to equate it to a harsh lesson in reality that no one is perfect (and often not even as close to it as they want you to think). But, the more perfect they try to seem, the bigger jerks they are. My guess is that The Tribunal have weaknesses that they just distance themselves from everyone to keep it secret.

I plan on connecting the dots of a bunch of these minor curiosities in fanfics after the DTV. I've never been crazy about doing so only to have the official writers render my stories impossible in future eps, y'know?

**Machias Banshee** · 07-12-2009, 08:26 PM

Episode Talkbacks? You mean Episode Discussion threads?

If so, I did a majority of them for the series, up until a little bit before the Tribunal Season. If you need any help locating anything....

*XERO* · 07-12-2009, 09:26 PM

I rememba back in mah day, Makyas- Er... Magilas... Um...

MACHI!

Yep, Machias Bandashee made those there er threads 'bout them dere uh... episodes.

That was back in mah day... yes, sir...

Yes, your threads should definitely be added to the list. sdp, you can use this search to help you track them down.

Well I tried finishing the discussion threads when I was watching through the 2k3 series, I was able to find most of them but there are still a few missing, I also added Fast Forward Season 2 and the Flash Shorts. I give up for now but if anyone else wants to find them go ahead, I'm sure they have to be somewhere. Its definitely interesting to read the thoughts of people in the early episodes and just in general.

One request though all the earlier discussion threads are closed so if a mod can re-open them it would be nice so people can comment on the episodes and not start new threads.

*sdp* · 11-24-2012, 07:54 PM

Just wondering if anyone would like to help find the missing threads, like I mentioned they have to be here somewhere so it'd be nice to have this thread complete. Also if a mod could open the old discussions threads for further comments it'd be nice, no reason for them to be closed.

I finally got a dvd quality 4kidsof complete set and wow i forgot just how great seasons 1and 2 are.Was going to bump n discuss some of the episodes but they are closed for some reason?

*MrTMNT2012* · 09-08-2013, 10:26 AM

This should be fun going through everyone's opinions as the episodes aired. I have very fond memories of the 2003 Series (Mostly Seasons 1-4) and I can't wait to eventually rewatching the series to see of the first incarnation still holds up!

*turtlefanforever* · 02-01-2014, 07:03 PM

How does this only have one page of comments? Personally favorite season 5 by far. Have all on DVD, saved to a flash drive as well just in case.

*snake* · 02-01-2014, 07:07 PM

^^
Becuase people don't post-pad like you and actually put the comments in the episode threads.

k_lala · 02-03-2014, 06:47 PM

Do you guys agree this is the DEFINITIVE TMNT show. I know OT will always be the one that is referenced 100 or 50 years from now. But if any fan from the future wanted to know TMNT they should watch this show, not OT. They will not appreciate that show from the 80s, I feel like 2K3 is timeless, even 20 - 50 years in the future i bet.

*Powder* · 02-03-2014, 06:54 PM

I don't agree in the slightest. It's a great show but it is its own worst enemy. It wanted to be dark & edgy but still funny and in the process missed the mark on both accounts. I'd say the Nick series is more the definitive show as it has a perfect blend of story, violence, and humor done successfully. As for the content of 2k3 topically, well, I'd suggest the Mirage books over the 4kids series any day of the week. Why drink watered down beer when there's something fuller out there waiting for you to take a sip?
