Today's New Fast Forward Episode "Enter the Jammerhead" Discussion

*VaughnMichael* · 04-07-2007, 02:21 AM

I thought I'd start a discussion for this episode. Like it or Loath it TMNT are still on the air So I figure it should be discussed.
"Enter the Jammerhead"
Synopsis:

Jammerhead busts his way out of prison, looking to even the score with his Turtle Nemeses. Thanks to a newly developed chip, he can download fighter footage and instantly mimic the moves. He tracks down and confronts the Turtles during a visit from Starlee’s alien family. Now the Turtles have to protect Starlee’s family and figure out how to ‘beat’ the new and improved Jammerhead, who (thanks to his new technology) can fight like the world’s greatest chop-socky masters.

Even I think this sounds a bit silly

but I guess we will just have to wait and see in a few hours.

Jammerhead episodes tend to be hit or miss, and this was more toward the latter. I keep thinking Jammerhead would be a character better suited for the original cartoon than this show.

Starlee is a cute character but her family was grating. If we can get more of her without them it'll be nice.

*VaughnMichael* · 04-07-2007, 08:37 AM

Well, Let's see where to begin...this episode fell flat on it's face to me.
I liked how it started though it's kinda cool to see TMNT villains be put in jail we've never seen that before besides once with Shredder in the Archie series.
My enthusiasm of Jammerhead downloading those fighting styles was about the same as the Street Phantoms which was less then excited.
I just can't buy that even with them being in the future.
This episode feels so much like an episode of the 80's toon to me it's not even funny.
It's official I really hate Jammerhead.
Starlee's family seems so much like a rip off of the palerasoids.
The sad thing is I think her Mom was one of the best things about the episode.
I did enjoy seeing Starlee finally do her thing though we haven't seen much of that or her for that matter.
Her little brother was annoying as all hell but he did come in handy.
I will say it's also really nice to see Splinter being himself again.
I mean what this is the first time we've actually seen him take someone on in a long time.
I liked the ending as well with Jammerhead back in jail and those guys beating him up it's sort of a throw back to the 2k3 series. We haven't seen an ending like that in a long time.
This episode was pretty bad though especially after what we had last week it left me wanting more and I was highly disappointed.
It was just waaaaaay to silly.
Oh well can't like em' all.
I give this Episode a D-

It's refreshing to know I wasn't the only one thinking old toon with all the Jammerhead stuff.
He actully reminds me of the Cronos King of the clock tower from one of the worst episodes of the Red sky series "Split Second".

After watching the entire Season 4 boxset, I agree. These kind of plots would be better suited for that show than this.

Looks like Bishop is back next week so it'll be something to look forward to.

Yeah I'm sure allot of people would dissagree but to me that's really what they're trying to turn this show into. And your right the Body Jacker episode was great and allot of fun. This one was junk. I'd rather hit Jammerhead than miss him though hahaha

Actully that was just clips from previous episode. But Yeah I hope we get more of Bishop as well as Torbin Zixx and finally learn a bit more about him.

*Kunoichi_Haruko* · 04-07-2007, 08:49 AM

:sigh: Okay I'm not a fan of Jammerhead at all, so this week's ep was gonna be particularly hard to swallow, but I did watch...

The Goods:
Starlee's family was appropriately annoying, I guess.

The prisoner's uniforms were... stylish

Jammerhead did bust some nice moves.

Starlee and Cody were useful (especially Starlee)

We got to see Splinter fight. It's been awhile...

The Gripes:

Why didn't Don (or any of them) smack Jammerhead while he was downloading his next move? Several perfect opportunities wasted...

Is Starlee's head gonna get that big when she gets older? I feel a little bad for her...

A few lame lines (mostly said by Jammerhead).

Overall, a subpar episode. Not nearly as good as the ones for the last two weeks...

*ToTheNines* · 04-07-2007, 08:51 AM

While the fights were good, this episode really sucked. It was dumb how the turtles kept naming all those goofy fight moves, and starlees brother little dracula was annoying. This was a big let down, seeing as the 2 previous episodes have been excellent.

Yeah it also came off as very teen titans to me (her brother).
I'd also like to make a note Holy turtle comercials this morning batman!
EDIT: One more thing I'd like to bring up after looking at the official site this show sure has allot of different writers that could possibly have to do with some episodes being better than others.
Also the Art style in this one got to me more than any other for some reason Splinters new face look bothers me more than anything I think.

*MrPliggins* · 04-07-2007, 09:03 AM

These aliens reminded me of the polarisoids and the antarians (sp?) put together from the old show. The mom was the most annoying thing and I cringed watching most of this episode...but I did watch it all, so it wasn't unwatchable. However, I think it's the worst FF ep yet...
I kind of wish Splinter would have kicked Jammerhead's butt instead of Starlee and the kid doing it. Oh well, Splinter will get his day...

creativerealms82 · 04-07-2007, 09:05 AM

Agreed this was probably one of the worst episodes this season. Which is saying alot since a large portion of Fast Forward has been bad.

Was nice to see Splinter fight and fight well rather then run off to watch his soaps but that was really about it.

Eh, the Raph wrestling episode was probably the worst overall.

You may be right..I don't remember that one very well. I just don't remember feeling this much dislike after an episode before. The funny thing is, there was still no "it's ninja time" this week.

On a side note, I love this commercial for the TMNT movie video game they keep playing.

I liked this episode. It was the best Jammerhead episode so far.

The Turtles seemed more in character as some would put it. Mikey getting slapped, Leo naming ninja moves, and Splinter actually fighting better then the Turtles. They all seemed in character.

Next weeks episode should be good. Any episode with the best TMNT villian is always going to be good (Bishop.)

*Cascadia* · 04-07-2007, 10:47 AM

It is interesting that none of the guys noticed a tracking device on Don. I am not too sure that this episode.

TerranigmaFreak · 04-07-2007, 11:06 AM

This ep was lame. The episode would have been better had they left out the crappy Starlee subplot. It was nice to see Splinter fight. The Kung Fu crap was retarded. I missed the beginning only started watching during the theme song, but I believe this is the third episode in a row that they didn't say... IT'S NINJA TIME!!!

Still, I liked the fights a little. This episode really wouldn't have been so bad if they made it into a completely mindless action ep. If only our future would also get rid of Kung Fu movies, then there's hope for humanity.

creativerealms82 · 04-07-2007, 11:23 AM

Next weeks looks better, if not for the fact that they are still playing up the "Raph keeps attacking holograms of Torban and Bishop" That got old in "Bishop to knight"

*Raph's Girl* · 04-07-2007, 11:41 AM

Well...this was more or less a filler ep. All that really happened was that Starlee's folks (is it just me
or does her dad look like Spock?? ) allowed her to stay on earth. Her bro's name is Glaxor. That name sounds
familiar. He's a bit of a kluts. And Starlee's mom... an alien who sounds like she's from New York??

Now I wish we learned exactly what Jammerhead is. Is he a robot or some sort of cyborg??? And why didn't they
ever notice the tracking device on Don's butt???
