Blast from the Past(OT) VS Reflections(2k3) +Would you like a recap episode for Nick?

Which episode do you like better?
I like Blast from the Past better because it had more of a story than just sitting and talking around a campfire, but i did enjoy the references to the campfire scene from the first movie from that episode.

Would you also like to see some sort of"recap" episode for Nick turtles?
Maybe there could be an episode later in Season 2 or even season 3 that shows clips from earlier episodes... Hopefully some of the better moments we've seen..

I would... Its an easy way to push out an extra ep and maybe catch some people up who's only seen later episodes while adding some extra short story.

Recap episodes in general are a boring waste of time, and the only reason they're made is so the animation studio can fill out a 26 episode season order without doing a completely new episode.

To be honest I'm surprised the original toon only had ONE recap episode out of a 193 episode series, they could have done the cheap way out and made a lot more. Thank god they didn't.

Hey genius, how about answering the question instead of rephrasing something I've already mentioned in a d!ck way?

What am I supposed to say? I don't really care how they do a recap episode, it would most likely be Splinter talking to them in the sewer about their past adventures.

I always enjoyed recap episodes from any show so I would definitely like to see one from the Nick TMNT cartoon.

I think I liked Reflections better than Blast From the Past since it covered more than just season 1 for 5 episodes.

i was referring to how i already mentioned that its an easy way to produce an extra episode... you made it sound like they were just being cheap and lazy, but really how are recap episodes bad? I think its smart. They're not specifically for people who've seen every single episode... Obviously they are a little bit boring in comparison to an actual episode, but that doesn't make it bad. They're aimed at people who don't watch the show religiously and they save money on animation at the same time as getting more viewers.. Plus you can relive several moments over the course of a show, in the time it takes to watch one episode, perfect for people trying to catch up without watching hours and hours. Plus the more episodes, the better in my opinion.
