NEW EP DISCUSSION (16th DC 2006): "The Gaminator"

*ZariusTwo* · 12-02-2006, 11:25 AM

Looks like "The Journal" is'nt the end of this season

*Raph's Girl* · 12-02-2006, 12:48 PM

Gaminator could mean several things:

1: It's a Mikey loving games ep
2: Gamera + gator = Gaminator!

*CyberCubed* · 12-03-2006, 02:46 PM

I really hope it's not another Mikey ep. He's been getting far too much spotlight this season, give the other Turtles a chance to shine.

*Sonic777* · 12-09-2006, 02:43 PM

It is about the tmnt getting trapted in a video game that viral is controling. That's all I know.

creativerealms82 · 12-09-2006, 02:54 PM

So it's the third episode mixed with the mall episode? Why?

*gobo* · 12-09-2006, 04:24 PM

The Gaminator is like some honest-to-goodness, Russian, arcade gaming machine (not sure about the details). I guess there's some sort of product-placement going on there. I doubt it's just a coincidence...

Shadow Wolf75 · 12-09-2006, 09:09 PM

It sorta looks like Serling's going to get to be useful in this ep. The guys get trapped in the game and he's probably the only one who can link up to the thing and go in after them.

*Buslady* · 12-09-2006, 10:23 PM

Guess I sure ain't gonna get a Raph episode...ugh...they NEED to give focus to the others...Mike's fine, it's nice we get some focus on him but they forget there's a couple other turtles...I'd like to see a Splinter focus too. Hell, maybe an episode without Cody trying to save the freaking day!

haha i know right all these Mike episodes are getting annoying.
And as some one who hated how much they used leo in the 2k3 series I sorta want a Leo Story also.

Synopsis:

The Turtles get their hands on a prototype game system called “The Gaminator”, rumored to be the ultimate gaming experience. They get more than they bargained for when they are digitized and sucked into the game, where they find that the Gaminator is actually a trap set by Viral so that she can get her revenge on the Turtles and defeat them on her own turf!

Yep. That's definitely promotion for the real-life Gaminator machine. Sounds like an interesting episode...

*gobo* · 12-16-2006, 08:29 AM

Those aren't the TMNT. Those are sadistic little sh*ts who don't earn my respect at all. The next time they need Serling's help, I think he should refuse since they obviously won't appreciate it. Serling is just a tool to them. He has opinions, but he acts like he can't stand up for himself. The crew needs to splash some karmic justice on this show. Just because it seems they're planning to leave the horrible taste of inconsideration in my mouth until next Fall, I think this is the straw that breaks the camel's back. I don't care to watch a morally bankrupt depiction of characters who are supposed to inspire. Wake me up when the movie's out.

*CyberCubed* · 12-16-2006, 08:37 AM

Heh, this was one of my favorite FF episodes so far.

I don't remember all of Serling's lines, but some of the stuff he said in this episode were generally funny. Good stuff.

The actual videogame inspired episode was pretty fun, loved that they kept Raph's, "I hate bugs!" from the previous seasons. Viral is actually a nice villain when she actually DOES stuff rather than just standing there like in previous episodes.

The climax with all the thousands of TMNT Vs. Viral reminds me of stuff we've seen in Teen Titans and The Batman, I'm always a sucker for that stuff.

The ending with the Turtles putting Serling in the videogame was a cruel joke, but I'm sure they'd turn it off before he got hurt...too much.

Well geez, talk about two different perspectives! Wish I hadn't missed this episode, so I could make a judgement call for myself on this...

*CyberCubed* · 12-16-2006, 10:05 AM

Wow, they actually made the first bandana mistake in the new show! It only took a milestone of 132 episodes! At least they beat the old show's record, (episode 1)

When Raph was riding the bug, he had an orange bandana for one shot! Anyone have a screencap? I'm pretty certain that happened.

*tOkKa* · 12-16-2006, 10:24 AM

-->> ..once again ..due to the apparent and unexpected appearance of hawtness in today's episode of FF .. tOkKa is currently passed out and incapacitated to make any semblance of commentary at this time..

*gobo* · 12-16-2006, 10:42 AM

And, Leo's mysteriously grew two feet to burn away in the acid. That made me roll my eyes. The episode was decent in as much as it didn't stumble. But, still, Serling saved the turtles, but got no appreciation for it and was used as the butt of a lousy joke. I'm sure the writers or somebody up there thinks that this "let's rip on Serling every chance we get" stuff is funny, but it's not. It was only mildly amusing when in moderation. Today, it was a suggestion to little kids to be mean to each other. I don't think the classic 'toon ever had such little sense of 'social responsibility'.

Ditto. I completely agree with you. Booooriiiiing.

I dunno, I had some thoughts while watching it... I can't remember them right now. I just hate how they've become reliant on others so easily. And what happened to honor? I just can't enjoy something that is such a... injustice to the characters. They ARE NOT the TMNT. They are an awful, weak representation of them.

gogo's right. What are they inspiring us to do? Nothing like they used to.

What complete drivel.

*Raph's Girl* · 12-16-2006, 11:40 AM

This was a pretty amusing episode. Poor Serling. *lmao* I don't think Viral likes working with Sho'kanobo. She's kinda like Shredder and Sho'kanobo is Krang.

I loved that Raph started refering to Serling as Bro...considering what happened
last week. *lmao*

My fave part was of course all the Raph's...so...so many Raph's....

Now for a couple questions:
1: How pissed will Sho'kanobo be now?
2: Did the gaminator company really send Cody the gaminator or was that just a ploy by Viral?

There's an episode in a previous season where Raphie is wearing blue....wish I could remember.

*J Legault* · 12-16-2006, 11:59 AM

This episode was pretty funny. Especially the contining video game jokes.

And we all know how knowledgable Mikey is on the topic as well as B movies and Comics.

Best parts would have to be the Swamp level and the extra turtles.

Overall, another fav of the FF season. Plus this season is more than half way done so far. But there's still 2 episodes I need to see till they start airing the rest.
