Least favourite episodes

Krangstein · 06-09-2006, 09:09 AM

Every good show has their weak points. As much as I love the new series, there are episodes that I simply don't like. Episodes such as:

Nano/Modern Love
Garbageman/Junklantis
Unconvincing Turtle Titan
Return of The Justice Force
Touch and Go

What do you think?

... HEY, you stole my list!

I'd add "Reflections" to this list. I ****ing hate episodes compiled from the previous ones in general. In any series.

TheGreenMagic · 06-09-2006, 09:43 AM

Junklantis gets my vote. That was just hard to watch. At least the first Garbageman episode had the Professor. He was an interesting enough character (shame he hasn't shown up more often).

I didn't really care for Same As It Never Was, granted, I've never been a big fan of those kind of stories... with the exception of Batrman the Animated Series' Over the Edge. Last but not least, there are the Turtle in Space episodes. Nothing really bad, it was just that the storyline kept going on and on while there were more immediate and interesting plots based on Earth I was hoping to get back to.

Krangstein · 06-09-2006, 12:48 PM

I have to say I don't like The King very much. I was really bored watching that episode. Also April's Artifact isn't that good. But no episode is as bad as Unconvincing Turtle Titan. That was a really unconvincing episode.

*BigApple3AM* · 06-09-2006, 03:11 PM

I didn't care for the one where the turtles are out in the country area, and a spaceship hits and that girl gets out and donny keeps her purple hair. That episode was BAAAAAAAAAD, and the "queen" reminded me more of a 3rd grade stuck up suburban girl rather than a queen. The voice acting didn't help either. Overall just a ridiculous episode that shouldn't have made the cut.

Krangstein: I can understand why you wouldn't like "The King" but do you know the backstory to it. Jack being Jack "the King" Kirby, who was a real life comic artist. Without him we probably wouldn't have the turtles because he revolutionized comics and gave a ton of people inspiration. The episode can be pretty boring without knowing the back story to it.

The Golden Puck.

Nano/Return of Nano
Garbageman/Junklantis
The Unconvincing Turtles Titan
Reflections

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 06-09-2006, 04:18 PM

1. Nano
2. Return of Nano
3. Garbageman
4. Junklantis
5. Justice Force
6. Turtle Titan
7. Reflections
8. Cousin Sid
9. Monster Hunter
10. The Golden Puck
11. All Hallows Thieves

If you took out all those episodes, the story wouldn't change at all.

My thoughts exactly. Though I'm not opposed to stand-alone episodes per se, I do hate it when the offshoots make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Really, that's the only episode I remember really disliking.

Well, you'd need to at least keep "Monster Hunter" as it shows Leo healing after his near death experience with the Foot ambush. Also, you'd have to keep in "Cousin Sid" as it shows all them healing, and the beginning of Leo's inner turmoil.

Mandi-chan · 06-09-2006, 06:43 PM

Mine would be:

SEASON 1
The Unconvincing Turtle Titan
Garbage Man
Junklantis
Notes From the Underground (the whole arc I thought was really dull)

SEASON 4
Grudge Match (I hated it with a passion until the end when Mikey kicked ass!)
All Hallows Thieves
Prodigal Son (This episode was really sloppily written and rushed, it was pretty disappointing for me).

trez · 06-09-2006, 07:12 PM

All Hallows Thieves
Junklantis
The Golden Puck
Reflections

Season 2 had some bad episodes...

Really?!! That was one of season four's best.

*Spitfire* · 06-09-2006, 11:55 PM

Alot of Season 1 and 2 episodes.

Yes i knew that. Wasn't this story also in the comics though?

*shuriken* · 06-10-2006, 04:56 PM

1-Nano-both episodes.
2-Junklantis- I hope he's dead.
3-I can't remember the name but when the Turtles went to different Dimensions and Raph became a planet Racer. That one i really disliked or maybe it was Raph

4-Still Nobody-the "Turks" at Least the Purple Dragons had a better name
5-Golden Puck- that "Housekeeping" line mikey did was hilariuos though!!

*ZariusTwo* · 06-10-2006, 05:03 PM

Big Brawl: Reminded me of the lazy CBS days, Usagi would be used much better in later episodes, the "Tournament" format in a series NEVER works, even I found those stupid DBZ Budokai tornaments to be unnecersary to the story when they first inspired every anime and western fighting show to have one.

martinitolove · 06-10-2006, 05:47 PM

I HATED all of the Atlantis episodes...

Anyway, here is my list:
- Nano
- Garbageman
- Notes from the Underground
- Modern Love: The Return of Nano
- Return to the Underground
- Junklantis
- The Entity Below
- The People's Choice
- Sons of the Silent Age
- A Wing and a Prayer

As you see, most of them have nothing to do with the main story and were about boring characters. Thankfully the Turtles were there too...

Krangstein · 06-11-2006, 07:12 PM

what did you think of April's Artifact. I didn't like it very much I must say.

lilonardo · 06-18-2006, 02:37 AM
