New Ep Discussion: "The Real World" Part One and Two

**Jo Dawn** · 03-25-2005, 08:13 PM

*looks around; blinks*

Hiya!

No wait! Don't leave the thread yet! You're not lost! Come in, come in. I'm merely filling in for Machi until she gets back. Don't worry. She'll come back soon.

The title of this week's ep. brought back bad flashbacks of that awful MTV show. *shudders* But, I guarantee that this episode will have nothing like Puck in it.

Leo's turn in all this to do the Time Warp; but he'll be meeting up with some familiar faces!

Will they be enemies in this new realm, or friends?

Will this weeks ep be more lighthearted than last week's??

What if he wants to stay???

And if not... How will Leo get HOME???? *falls over*

So many questions, only one way to find out! In but a few hours we will know just what universe Leo was thrown into.

See ya then.

**Jo Dawn** · 03-26-2005, 03:20 PM

Oy, sorry everbodies. I was at work wayyy longer than I shoulda been. Sorry again. We're now open.

shadowflame611 · 03-26-2005, 03:36 PM

I liked this ep. Specially the part in the beginning when Leo first wakes up and looks at that lil dinosaur thingy and says 'Drako?'. Lol he was cute in this ep.

USAGI!!! And he went back with Leo to Nexus... whats gonna happen there?!

I really want to see how they all get together again... what happened to Splinter, how the boys are gonna react to seeing each other again... and what happenes with UD. Can't wait!

tmnt_forever_fangirl · 03-26-2005, 03:59 PM

"Same As It Never Was" will always be my favorite episode, but I also liked this episode.

The Neko clan...even though they were on the enemy side, I still thought they were pretty cool

And Usagi!!! Got to see a lot more of Usagi and Genosuke in this episode! Genosuke hating water...lmao.

Favorite quote:
Leonardo: I hate to point this out, but u have no arms, this isn't going to be much of a fight.
*Leo is coiled up by the Ninja Lord and flung against the wall*
Note to self: Arms are overrated!!

IceFlash78 · 03-26-2005, 04:26 PM

I don't know if anybody feels the same way, but this episode was kind of an ....letdown... after "Same As It Never Was." I mean.. this episode was good, but it didn't compare to last week's episode.

Having said this, I did enjoy it.. I loved the humor...

I laughed out when Usgai remarked when he came out of the bushes wearing Ninja garb, "I am cloaked in dishonor. Let us never speak of this." (this isn't the exact quote, but tis close enough.) I thought it was soo funny. I also loved the "Arms are overrated" line.

Can't wait to see next week's episode! I think we finally know what happened to that "judge" who was sucked into that rift with Draco and the UN... Apparently the UD can disguise itself as that judge!

I really think the Danyo (I'm sure that's spelled wrong

) will help Leo and Usagi rescue the others and fight Ultimate Drago. Leonardo never started "phasing" like the others did. I'm betting that's because it was really Leo and Usagi causing the phasing by trying to retrieve them. I think the four turtles will be recovered and, with the help of Usagi and the Danyo, will have to go rescue Splinter from Ultimate Drago.

**Jester** · 03-26-2005, 04:34 PM

I never thought of that...that the phasing was Leo's attempt to pull his bros through to the battle nexus....

Lioness-Goddess · 03-26-2005, 05:05 PM

I missed it...

Oh well. That's what reruns are for.

Thats a really good theory! I noticed that Leo wasnt 'phasing' too. Hm... that explains alot... we'll have to wait till next week to see if it really happens.

Correct spelling is Daimyo, I believe.

I too was wondering why Leonardo didn't flicker out like the other guys did...I wouldn't be surprised if your theory is spot on. It is consistent with the brief description of the episode on the official TMNT site.

rayfillet101 · 03-26-2005, 05:42 PM

I noticed that non phasing thing too, and i made the connection, but it confused me so I stopped thinking! I loved this episode though! I wish there was a chance for ninjara, that clan looked an awful lot like her

Yeah, and it will be aired on CN the 4th of April, so, if you're off then at 2:30 PN (EST), you can see it. I know that I'm planning on watching it again, AND getting to see Part 2 the next day. Which is good.

John 14:6: Hate to burst your bubble, but according to what I read of what's going to happen in Part 2 of this at the official website, the Daimyo is not ONLY going to refuse to help Leo, he's ALSO going to have him imprisoned! (Slight paraphrase there, folks.

) So it sounds like Leo is in for a bit of a hard time himself.

Hmmm, you know, as closely as I watched the ep this morning, it never even CLICKED with me that Leo never phased even ONCE!!! (Bad Wolfie, NOT noticing something THAT significant!) Maybe you have a point, John. I wonder WHY Leo never did that? Maybe the REAL trap for HIM is in the Battle Nexus next week? Oooooo, WHY does it have to be another sandblasted WEEK before we get to find out the resolution to this who mess for sure?! (A thousand curses on you, CN, for taking the show off your sandblasted schedule for two darned weeks! May a thousand flatulent Plutarkians invade your offices!!!

)

And where pulling the other boys to the Nexus is concerned, I just get the VERY sick feeling that our LEO has had absolutely NOTHING to do WITH it!!! Catch my drift?

Also, did y'all notice that they DIDN'T show the preview at the end of this week's ep AGAIN?! I had to suffer through BOTH "One Piece" AND "Shaman King" to be able to SEE the thing, let alone record it! (Well, that's when KAZZY TOLD me that the darned thing would be on; I shoulda LISTENED to her, silly, silly me!) WHY couldn't they just have shown it at the END of today's ep the way they HAVE been doing, drat them?!

And IceFlash, the "judge" is called the "Kyoji" (I remember that from watching my "Battle Nexus" tape yesterday). Just a bit of FYI there.

Anyway, I LOVED this ep! Maybe as much as I did "Same as it Never Was"! (Well,Leo's my SECOND fave among the boys, so that's understandable!) I loved seeing Usagi and Gen again, as well as the new female character, Tomoayama (sp?). And the little panda-lord, Noriyuke, was adorable. LOVED him!!!

And I liked the "Arms are over-rated" line, too....although I was a bit iffy about the one where Usagi said "I am cloaked in dishonor; etc." Did he NOT remember that LEO is a ninja, too?! *huffs indignantly at the rabbit ronin* Although he DID make up for it later, by calling Leo "my brother" after they did the chanting-thing to open the portal to the Battle Nexus.

"You do not HAVE to ask, my brother. I AM going with you. As YOU say, what are friends for?"

THAT was quite POSSIBLY MY favorite line (okay, lines) in the whole ep. It just further shows the regard in which Usagi holds Leo. Loved it, and I can-NOT wait for Part 2 to find out what happens then! *grumbles in playful irritation* Like I said previously, though, WHY does it have to be another whole WEEK til we find out?! Grrrrr. I (semi-)HATE that!!!

Anyway, peace.

**Kali** · 03-26-2005, 06:03 PM

I loved today's episode, though I was a bit... annoyed that Leo never phased like his brothers. But now that you mention it, next week may show that it was Leo’s attempt to bring back his brothers. I thought that they simply didn’t feel the need to illustrate how Leo was going to leave since he was going to find another way home. Maybe the fact that he had thought of a way home kept him from phasing?

But I did really enjoy the action, and the humor. I’ll admit, I never envisioned a Tokage being pink.

And for those unfamiliar with (or curious about) Usagi’s world: http://www.usagiyojimbo.com/./index.html

Actually, I think it's Tomoe Ame...then again, you could be right, sis.

creativerealms82 · 03-26-2005, 06:11 PM

Remember UD wanted to deal with Splinter and the Daimyo first and Leo second then the other turtles. Also Draco's grudge is torward Usagi. UD probably took Splinter to the Nexus to deal with him and the Daimyo at the same time and sent Leo to Usagi's world knowing Leo and Usagi would find their own way to the Nexus.

Also we do not know the full power of the time rod, perhaps it can also minipulate peoples minds, no I doubt that but who knows really what powers UD has, he probably minipulates the Daimyo some how. It might not even be the real Daimyo that imprissions Leo and Usagi.

Just my theories.

No, actually, I think that YOU are. I listened to my tape several times, but I'll have to admit that I couldn't QUITE make out it's proper pronunciation. Heck, I didn't have HALF as much trouble with little Lord Noriyuke's!

On another note, did you guys notice that THIS is the FIRST ep of the show where they've shown HORSES?! QUADRAPED, riding horses, and not anthro ones. VERY cool, I thought...being the eternal horse-nut that I am!!!

Peace.

*Duke* · 03-26-2005, 06:21 PM

I totally agree witht the Leo bringing his brothers to the nexus theory. It makes the most sense especially when you think about the color of the nexus portal, light blue, matching the color of their fading out. And it wouldn't be UD returning them to him because the time scepter puts off a bright green color.

shadowflame611 · 03-26-2005, 06:31 PM

So...what WAS in the preview, anyways? Was Splinter in it? j/w

*J Legault* · 03-26-2005, 07:26 PM

This episode was great to watch. We get to see Leo in Usagi's MutiAnimal World. Was it just me or was this episode like watching one of those cartoons with talking different talking animals. Just this has to be the first episode to be like one of those Mutiple Animal cartoons, if you know what I mean.

Gen was funny in this episode. I keep forgetting the names of the other charaters.

Question: Was that Snake dude in the original Usagi comics? Because i keep forgetting who Usagi's arch-enemy is.

I might not be able to see next week's episode. I'll be leaving Washington DC around then.

But I can always wait for DVD releases of the episodes. I give this one 5/5
