This is the weakest season of this series and I think others will agree. Still though there were some quality episodes. Chief among them is Bishop To Knight. I liked the direction taken with this character and Agent Bishop is my favorite original character/concept that came from the 2003 cartoon.

Lots of squandered potential is what I see when I look at TMNT:>>. I voted for the Journal, because I thought it was a fun episode, and one of the better ones from that half of the season, though Raph's "future-past" was a bit disappointing, but it had an in story explanation.

Bishop to Knight and Fly me to the Moon were both fantastic.

Really the only terrible episode here was the wrestling ep with Raph and Triple Threat. The others all range from average to pretty good.

I don't know, Cubed, Clash of the Turtle Titans is one of the worst episodes of the series.

Oh and pannoni it's Bodyjacker not Body Snatchers.

Well I remember liking that ep more than the Turtle Titan ep from Back to the Sewers at any rate. Although the one from Season 5 was better.

Goddamn, did we have a Turtle Titan ep EVERY season? It sure seemed like it.

The Turtle Titan episode from BttS was probably THE WORST episode of the series...well it and maybe The Incredible Shrinking Serling.

As to the Turtle Titan episode a season...*shrugs* I can't remember. You may be right, if only for a second or two.

Not in season 2, and I don't remember him from season 4 either.

Anyway, my favorite is The Journal, it was good to see the present time for a change after so many 2105 episodes.

Michelangelo donned the Turtle Titan costume five times. The writers said at a panel posted on youtube that they liked the concept so they used it whenever they felt it would work. I felt it was overused. Three times would have been enough. Maybe I am in the minority,but I enjoyed The Super Powered Struggle. It was one of my favorite two BTTS episodes because it might be the only time Mike and Raph are pairred off and it featured a homage to Hal Jordan's Green Lantern. It was a plot device with the cape that is not apart of the actual character and the fact he lost it in a cheap way but I liked it done the less. The Incredible Shrinking Sterling was boring though I agree. Why was Sterling brought to the present(or year shy of it) anyway?

The main question about Fast Forward is why leave Cody there with his uncle running free? Darius obviously killed his sister and brother-in-law in attempt to get their fortune and company and there was no resolution to that. Was it because Fast Forward was decided not to continue and it was supposed to be resolved then? At least in Temptus Fugit there could have been a passing reference of Darius finally paying for his crimes thrown in since the direction was changing.

Did anyone else catch that Splinter said everything was made up except the part about the Foot Mystic teleporting Raphael and Casey Jones? I doubt he meant stuck on an island for three years but it seemed he would have furthered in detail on it.

No way. The FF season was definitely better than the Back To The Sewer season.

Again I disagree. After having recently rewatched the FF season, I don't think that any of the episodes were that bad. The whole season was really consistent. Infact, I'd say that it was the most consistent season of the show. Not the best, but the most consistent. That makes it very tough for me to pick a favorite episode among those featured in this poll.

See I do agree that the whole Darius story should've been wrapped up. But I don't fault the FF episodes for not doing so, at least not the early FF episodes. I fault the BTTS episodes for not explaining what eventually came of Darius Dunn.

That is what I was saying. In Tempus Fugit the BTTS season opener after Sterling got thrown into the time loop because of Viral Sterling should have said with Cody's corrupt uncle in jail Cody is on his own until Sterling can get back to him. Something along those lines or in The Incredible Shrinkig Sterling when the robot was trying to return to 2105 he should have mentioned it. I wonder why the writers brought Sterling with him. I never cared for him one way or the other but I never thought the character was a fan favorite either.

There was a rumor going around that a lot of BttS was just modified >> season 2 plots...but to be honest, how much did Serling actually do in that last season?

I can see that in some respect and not in others like the Triceraton Shredder replaced with Cyber Shredder and the Space Usagi idea. As for what Sterling did I am struggling to remember outside of TF and TISS episodes and being a background character in WBaB. It just didn't seems like there was not much point of bringing him with the TMNT. I don't think he assisted Don bringing back Splinter did he?
