Episode discussion: "New World Order" part 2

Boring ep, I don't mean to piss off the fans of the lost season but it just plain sucks.

I was expecting some cool fights, but we mostly just got enegry blasts. The turtles had some short fights with the zombie's that were alright, but both of Karai's fights with Shredder were frail (It was bad as hell when he cut that snakes head off tho). Also, it seems like there's hardly any focus on the turtles, I don't think Don said anything until the last ten minutes.

The thing that really pissed me off was that uncalled for Leo fit, he had to give Bishop that diamond, it saved his brother, and I know NT Leo values his family above all else.

While I don't like the dragon idea, they are VERY cool looking, which in turn pissed me off even more because they almost did nothing at all.

Other than a few funny things that Mike says, this season is really starting to chap my ass, the only reason I'm watching it is because I don't like it enough to waste money on the DVD.

Leo's fit is quite rational. He's not throwing it because he felt guilty about what he did. He's probably angry at Bishop for allowing this to even happen. If Bishop never did alien invasion he created, which in turn created the ooze that mutated New York, Donny never would of been infected. Thus they never would of had to go to Bishop for help. Thus the Mystics never would of made Bishop make the Turtles retrieve the artifact that eventually led to the release of the Demon Shredder.

I liked the episode, but all I can say is that the dialogue was kinda soggy. Pretty much full of cliched stuff from any given action show. ("Looks like a Storm is coming" "No! It already has" ) But great building tension episode none the less. Of course, I had to miss out on last week's episode, but it was pretty easy to catch up on what was going on.

The dragon thing or this new energy burst thing they do is like the new mutations of the last seasons of the old show, we can't do anything unless we use our new special powers so sayith our writers.

Loved the dragon thing, I don't the turtles' accomplishments will get any better than that...gonna make it pretty hard to come up with something in the finalization of season 7, that is if they plan to try and top this.

Aside from giving evidence that The Foot Clan was founded by the demon Shredder, I was most pleased that they replayed the Mikey Song #4 commercial again.

He does now. It's called canon, there's no escaping it.

Says who? Ch'rell was just an intergalactic gangster. He knew almost nothing but how to intimidate. Sure, he came up with The Sword of Tengu, but I'm willing to bet that was just some wreckage from the Utrom ship that he snapped a blade onto. So, to me, it seems beyond likely that the Foot were the tengu's worshippers/cult who started to follow Ch'Rell when he took on the guise of the Shredder.

Normally I totally disagree with these kind of things, but your explanation is very feasible. Yet, you'd think they'd say somthing about it in the show

Here's something I thought was lame about the ep. After the demon caused a slicing sound, you see a tear roll out Karai's eye. But, then, they immediately cut back to show her entire body, and it doesn't look like he hit or cut her at all. WTF?!?

I agree, but it is a kiddie show. They didn't show any wounds when Leo was stabbed in Exodus either.

Yet I do sometimes wish TMNT that it was on CN adult swim or something.

Well as we all know, its the only way they could get away with showing Shredder slash her with a sword on a Saturday morning cartoon.

Still, wish her shirt was ripped or something.

They just shouldn't have shown her from the chest down or something...

Nah, I didn't. I'm gonna go check on youtube real quick.

EDIT: You're right, there is a real quick splash of blood, awesome.

So, they should have easily been able to indicate where Karai's injury was.
