Wait, ... The season premiere is debuting at Walmart? Is that a thing that happens now in the age of "the network has decided to put the remaining episodes up online because we'll roll things out how, when, and where we feel like it, and you can just catch up, bitches", or am I crazy? It does look like a pretty decent start to the Northampton arc, though.

It's a 'preview' of seven minutes of the episode, probably because Walmart is good at selling TMNT merch and putting that there might make kids convince their parents to buy better tvs or something, idk. Rolling out episodes like this is probably Nick finding digital numbers to be way better than ol' TV ones what with actually being exact numbers instead of some wild guess from the 80's, plus, y'know, easier to catch up since the viewer can watch how, when and where they feel like it at any given time instead of hoping the DVR catches it.  Plus gives a chance for international viewers to actually help the ratings.

87 could never decide what to do with Krang. He was implied to have lost his body, or had it taken away as a punishment. There's one episode where he clones himself and his clones end up growing giant lizard bodies. But there's also flash backs that show Krang's people as all using those little walker robots. They never seemed to know if Krang was an all powerful warlord that controlled dimension X and was moving onto earth, or if he had been defeated and exiled to earth. They usually went with the first one, but would also show armies of robots and rock soldiers just hanging out ready to invade.

I'm actually kind of glad that the 90s live action Turtles films didn't attempt Leatherhead or Rocksteady or BeBop. They probably could have had a fair crack at Krang but there's no way they could have successfully pulled off the Technodrome and all the other stuff that goes along with him so they probably would have left all that out and had the Turtles face off against him in an abandoned steel mill or something. The Secret of the Ooze was such a lost opportunity. They gave it almost twice the budget of the first film (which was still fairly small considering how much money the first film made) but once again handed the reins to a director and a writer no one had ever heard of but with the added demand that the Turtles not be shown using their weapons. In the end the film made about a third as much as the first TMNT film and segued into TMNT 3 and we all know how that went. Snowglobe of Doom fucked around with this message at 08:11 on Oct 4, 2014 |

Honestly I would've rather seen Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady or the Triceratons using lovely low budget practical effects back in the 90s rather than seeing them in 2016 using lovely big budget CG. I'm being half serious, as the CG for the turtles in the latest movie was actually pretty good, but the movie itself was garbage, so it was a wash overall. That said, if early word on the sequel really is indicative of what they want to do with it, we'll probably be seeing Bebop and Rocksteady in the next movie...

I just love that every season has a different TV show they're all into. This psychopathic He-Man should be as good as the slap happy Kirk one. Was this episode based on a comic? I kind of dimly remember one with a leech that sucked out Ralph's mutagen.

Much of that episode was creepy and violent as hell. Raph being a dog-like plant was terrifying, especially when he's whimpering. Really good stuff.

This was a really well done episode, mixing Friday the 13th and the segment of the first Creepshow where a farmer (played by Stephen King) discovers a meteorite that ends up covering him in swamp moss. Awesome homages in this episode. Still getting used to Green as Leo. He sounds more mature than Raph now, and much older than Donnie and especially Mikey. I'm guessing their stay in North Hampton will be short, episode wise, judging from Leo's quick recovery. They did completely jump over 3 months. What's going on in NYC during these months? The Kraang surely could be expanding from NYC to other areas within 3 months. This is also why I think calling it the O'Neil farm instead of the Jones farm like in the Mirage comic makes little sense. The Kraang were investigating April deeply. Surely they'd know in short order where she grew up? They Kraang and/or Shredder could've been ringing the doorbell only days after the turtles' retreat. Ah well, it's a cartoon.

The Kraang have always seemed, irregardless of their technological advancement, to be not terribly sharp characters. Having them blow off the Turtles now that they're triumphant seems pretty well in character. Another thing to consider is that if Renet is involved, time travel may come into play, and that may play into how the Kraang are defeated.

Legend of Korra got some celebrities to do voices too, i think a walking dead guy did the voice of The First Avatar in a two-parter. I was enjoying the wacky sitcomical adventures of Big Foot up till that last bit, I really hope they're not actually going for it.

Urrrgh. Until now, there was not an episode I would describe as "weak". Maybe some were wackier or less plot relevant than others, but they all had something that made them worthwhile. That was loving garbage. What the loving hell was that. What the gently caress happened.

If they wiped out Donnie's crush on April then he wouldn't have any personality at all. ("A way with machines" is a skill, not a personality trait.)

Well, he'd probably still do the thing that started the crush: finding something sketchy to do and going for it so hard it puts everyone in danger without reflecting on how it could go wrong. (i.e. the mutant medicine last episode, the whole turtle mech plan, how he went about making Metal Head the first time, etc.) What i'm saying is that Donnie is the worst turtle and he could bare to lose one of his worse traits.

That's sort of a way of doing part of his Mirage personality I suppose. In Mirage, Donatello is the turtle most likely to hide things from the others, as he tends to have some sort of secret project that the others would find troubling. For example he kept Baxter Stockman's cyborg remains locked up in a sewer somewhere for like years to get info from him. There is also a part where he clones Splinter although he had a good reason for doing it.

Well, the Mirage one was also differentiated by being the one looking for means to solve issues without just applying his staff liberally. That leads him to trying to find creative solutions to problems, even if they happen to be sketchy.

It was also a pretty lovely way to tell her. Instead of "I realize that sometimes people don't feel the same way about each other and trying to force it doesn't help anything." he says "I'm sorry I'm a horrible muntant no one will ever love."

The Donnie/April thing needs to end, it was like the Dipper/Wendy thing in Gravity Falls. Weird, creepy, and not gonna happen. The GF Crew at least pulled the bandaid off and did something interesting with it in that show to get rid of it.Dr_Amazing posted:It was also a pretty lovely way to tell her.

Maybe the rumors of Mikey's crush on Renet could help Donnie figure out how to break up without begging for pity and show April how to not exacerbate the problem by confusing Donnie even further. While they do need to then actually give the purple one a real personality after this, this doomed romance really is turning into the weakest link of this show.

Acne Rain posted:Urrrgh. Going to have to agree. There have been weak episodes before but this one was the weakest. It didn't advance the story in any way whatsoever, and even as filler it was lame. Also I just realized, if Leo was in a pseudo-coma for three months, how is he not utterly weak/emaciated? We are to presume that he didn't eat or drink during this time, right? I know, it's a cartoon...
