[LH]

"I would rather die on my feet... Than live on my knees!!!"

LEATHERHEAD HAS RETURNED



That was without a doubt the greatest thing I have EVER SEEN!!!!!

Wow.... Where to begin...

Spoiler:

-Leatherhead has been fighting! Spying on the Kraang! He can breathe the air in Dimension X!

-It's been decades for him... He's gotten older..... gained many new battle scars..... But he's still full of life... just as strong and powerful... If not even more!!!!! He is a mutant alligator after all..... His time in Dimension X has forged him into a wise and powerful warrior!!!!!

-That fight scene at the beginning was glorious... Pure unfiltered rage towards the Kraang!!!!! That Death Roll!!!!! The way he just took all those bullets head on!!!!

-While in Dimension X he adopted a battle staff/club made of Kraang rock!

-They tortured him... But he would never give in!!!!!

-Leatherhead is a fighter... a warrior... Even after all this he was still willing to stay behind to save them!

"Not this time buddy!"

*bumps through portal*

"I'm okay..."

-That big high five at the end was the PERFECT ending!!!! This episode has brought me nothing but feelings of hope and happiness!!!! I'm really at a loss for words at just how incredible this episode was!!!!

Welcome back buddy... WELCOME HOME!!!!

AMAZING Episode! Won't go into detail yet, but wow! This should've been the returning episode instead of that stupid ghost episode.

[Jester]

Man, what is Nick doing? This doesn't seem like a bright move.

*will totally watch later*

[Mellie]

Great episode!

[MikeandRaph87]

Is it tomorrow morning that The Chinatown Ghost Story is supposed to air? I do wonder if posting these episodes prematurely is going to hurt the ratings? Speaking for myself,I would not watch the premire of an episode if I already have seen it online few days before.Unless all the pre-air views count towards ratings than its not smart on Nick's part IMHO.

Once I get back from Friday Night Lights I will have to check the episode out.

Ratings I feel mean nothing for the show. At this point, it's about money and demand.

The movie made big money, the toys are still making big money, and demand is still an all time high. Plus being they're still putting the episodes on ITunes the day they're released on TV means they'll still make profit on the side as a turn around for any lost ratings.

Watched it. AMAZING episode,

[ssjup81]

Extensive summary please? Pretty please with all of Mikey's pizza toppings on top? ^^

I was told by the doctor I must stay in the hospital for two more weeks. Altogether that means I will be here a full month.

For this ep, not sure I can watch it yet. I don't have the cellular data too atm.

So, please can anyone tell me more about Mikey for this ep?

[Donatello19]

Nick has the full episode on their website for free!

Hopefully this will suffice for now... I hope you get well soon!

Spoiler:

The episode starts with Leatherhead running in a Kraang facility in Dimension X. He escapes with a power cell made from the powerful rock in the area. He is discovered by kraang troops, and THE GREATEST FIGHT EVER ENSUES... Heh.. um... Anyways, they eventually overpower and capture him, but not before he uses a kraang orb to send out a message to the turtles...

Meanwhile in Donnie's lab, Donnie is trying to crack the secrets of the portable portal, when suddenly it's activated by accident. It opens to Dimension X, and the signal from Leatherhead reaches the orb in the lab. The turtles must save him! They tell Mikey that because he's been messing up too much lately that he couldn't come... Mikey, having memories of Leatherhead, decides to jump straight into the portal... being separated from his brothers who jump in moments later after him.

In Dimension X, the turtles are looking for Mikey while Leatherhead is being tortured in captivity. Eventually he finds them, and he is a survival expert! Able to use the physics of Dimension X to his full advantage! He even takes down two rock soldiers! The turtles and Mikey then go to the Kraang facility where Leatherhead is being held.

They find him and set him free. He explains he has been in Dimension X spying on the Kraang for decades, and that he had to contact them when he learned they have perfected the mutagen. They enter the Kraangdroid facility, where many portals are active. A huge battle ensues, and the turtles cause much damage to the facilty. Leatherhead says he'll stay while they escape, but Mikey pushes him back to earth. As Mikey escapes through the portal, he breaks off a piece of the Kraang rock energy source which detonates the entire facility.

Back on earth, the turtles and Leatherhead talk about the impending invasion. They have about a day to act due to the time shift. They realize the time has come to fight, and all high 3 for the final shot.

*_*. I want to see this! Thanks for the summary.

According to my carrier, I'll get another 1GB of data on Monday, so if there's a mobile version maybe I can see it. Every three days, I can use up to 1GB of cellular data since I went over my initial amount my first week here. I didn't even know of this and I've had this cell service for a little over two years. I apparently have 7GB a month of cellular data.

Good writer. That episode was also one of my favourites in the entire series!

[Donatello19]

This episode was AMAZING! Possibly my favorite S2 episode yet! Leatherhead, Mikey, Dimension X...everything was just awesome! This really has me pumped for the finale!

[Electric]

incredible episode. one of the first i thouroghly enjoyed mikey

the leo/mikey fighting for leadership was a nice little added dynamic

some badass scenes for each turtle, and LH

great set up for the finale. now:

impending invasion

the powersource for the turtle mech

i even think they set up a little bit of donnie leo tension here. not with leo directly, but when donnie was pretty vocal about his belief they should retreat. him speaking up against a plan is something we havent exactly seen until now

[Powder]

To me this felt VERY Mirage, I wonder if Doug is a fan/reader of the old books. Also there were at least 2 or 3 visual nods to Turtles In Time. Combining the two illest versions of TMNT for inspiration, I like this guy.

[Donatello19]

Hopefully he'll do a lot more episodes! This one was just great in every way...Kraang episodes are usually my least favorite kind of episodes, but this one was so good!

And now I'm looking forward to buying the Savage Mikey figure
