New Ep Discussion: "Adventures In Turtle Sitting"

*Anarchistguy* · 03-25-2006, 09:38 AM

Hey, wasn't there an episode of the old cartoon with the same name?

Anyway, discuss

Much, MUCH better than last week's episode.

*Mars-Chan* · 03-25-2006, 09:44 AM

Like, Zoinks!

I totally loved today's episode...including Mike's "Like, ZOINKS!" and "Mahamana-hamna-hamna" line as he bolted from Donny.

Left me in stitches, it did...

Torrant2 · 03-25-2006, 09:49 AM

Not bad, definately felt like a setup episode though. Mike's lines were great

Was it just me or was anyone else waiting for Splinter to show up.
Glad he finally made an appearance at the end. So for everyone wondering where Leatherhead is, there ya go.

Totally confused about the Bishop, Baxter thing though. Don't even know where to begin on that... Just don't get it, he all ready had Baxter.... Didn't he?

*Anarchistguy* · 03-25-2006, 09:49 AM

Hey, did anyone actually feel sorry for Stockman?

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 03-25-2006, 09:50 AM

Great episode! i loved everything about it! I thought it had a nice way of leading into Don's mutation and at the same time showed the guys still battling away to solve the same issue of mutating animals. I really like the ideas for all the creatures they have mutated. It looked like huge crabs today, really wicked looking!
It was also the perfect time to bring back Leather head. Who else could they have gone to, he was perfect for this episode.

The whole Stockman thing is getting a little sickening. I haven't missed any episodes but I can't quite remember how he ended up in the river Bishop pulled him from????

I wonder why they didn't just leave Don with Splinter in the first place? He ended up back down in the sewer anyway. The preview before the title credits really hooked me, but none of it wasn't in the episode at all. I really wish they would have let it been an hour of this two part episode, I enjoyed the look back and all the hype for this 100 episode but I really can't wait till next week!!!

I did actually, he just wants to die finally. It's like torture that they keep bringing him back. Who sees him turning on Bishop soon? *Raises hand*

rayfillet101 · 03-25-2006, 09:53 AM

i felt like we were missing something? Bishop falling into an ocean? The new Battle Shell? Months of fighting mutants? and its kind of too late for it cuz if they show it later, don will still be sickly and it will be all out of continuity. leatherhead came out of nowhere. now wheres fugitoid? April and Casey seemed really different to me in this episode. OK episode.

Usagi Yojimbo · 03-25-2006, 10:00 AM

Good episode I like the mutated don. The funny part is casey say to don " leave my girl friend alone" meaning april. Baxter a new look again.

We now know leatherhead is still around,will he make a cure to turn don back to normal?

Well it looks like bishop is trying to clean up the mutant out break with the help of baxter or cover up his mistakes so the goverment will not find out bishop is the one who created the mutants.

syk_skillz · 03-25-2006, 10:01 AM

I was confused about Stockman being pulled from the ocen also. When the hell did this happen. I have seen all the episodes and do not remember him getting stuck in the ocean. Great episode, reminded me of how it happened to leo in the old show.

Yeah, but he said he coulda done without his personality, that's why he changed him.

MikesPizzaShack · 03-25-2006, 10:09 AM

theres gotta be a back story that will be shown telling us this "months" of information that has happend.....i loved how mutated don looked. casey look real sharp all dressed up. and i was so confused at first with baxter. i didnt realize it was him right away cuz he was in that huge mech thing b4.....i really hope the guys get a cure for don cuz its gonna suck if they dont....one thing good thing about mutated don is that theres a good chance hes gonna be a figure now woot!

*ZariusTwo* · 03-25-2006, 10:33 AM

This season is making the original series canon look cohearant. This is all 4Kids fault presumbly, I bet you my ass this was not supposed to be the 100th episode in production order, and they wanted a major change for the show to draw in big ratings, so they forsaked the continuity and brought us straight up to Dons' plight.

Someone e-mail Danny about this mess, this is ridiculous.

stege-chan · 03-25-2006, 10:36 AM

A nice action packed episode! Woohoo! I totally loved the transformation sequence. Poor Don, but OH the angst! XD The Casey and April interaction was my favorite part of this episode. I loved every bit of that, especially when Casey tried to get April to run to safety. Awwwwww! <3 I wonder if the season finale will have anything to do with the two of them finally tying the knot? That'd be great!

I loved the guys' and Splinter's reactions to Monster Donnie, especially Leo. Oh man, his last line about gave me chills. I can't wait for next week!!! Leather Head was a good choice for the guys to go to for help. As much as I can't stand him, he was useful, huh? ^^ And Stockman...I'm starting to think Kikyou here...just let the guy croak already. o_o

I have to be at work in a half hour, so I don't have time to post much right now. Maybe I'll think of more later. :3

Remember there is still the 13 episode "Lost Season" floating about somewhere. Perhaps this explains the continuity gap?

I liked this week's episode. GamerDon looked great. Can't wait to see him and Leatherhead slug it out.

It probably does, I'm just giving an opinion on why 4Kids think the new show is the old show and an episode can be aired out of sequence beleiving nobody notices.

*Masked Ninja* · 03-25-2006, 10:56 AM

Nice stuff! Man, Donny looked terrible! I just wanted to like... give him a Tylenol or something. And I also liked how when he DID change, he didn't go 100% GameraDon immediately. He had this passing stage where he could still talk but was losing his mind rapidly.

Oh... and Casey dressed in a suit:

Huzzah for Leatherhead! But you're right, Zarius... this does seem a little outta joint with the rest of the series. I get the impression that they had too much story and too few epsiodes this season... which could explain it. I just hope there is some stuff to give a background to this. More than just the short. Ah well.

And did anyone notice... Leatherhead's voice had a definite Cajun edge! He's never had that before. I appreciate the reference to the old toon, but why not do that all along? Maybe they thought they could get away with it because we haven't seen him in so long.

Either way, if Leatherhead ever says the word "gumbo" in this show, I will die laughing.

I caught the girlfriend line. He said (Not in context) that's my girlfriend, you can't have her. I think Donny is the character that line gives a little bit of underlying meaning too.
At the end of the preview for next week it looked like the fight ended up in a lab. Bishop's?? I think they will cure him next week, I don't see this going on very long. Can't wait to see it though. I am thinking Leatherhead is keep Donny contained while the guys hunt Bishop down.

As for all the lost season stuff maybe after that is released and the start with the Fast forward plotline we will see them get back on track. There are too many different storylines to keep straight without all the timeline confusion.
I think masked ninja makes a point, too much story too little episode.
