Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012

Apart from Donatello, he's the most developed Turtle in terms of character, which is saying something, as they're all fairly developed as of the 23rd episode.

In terms of how well he does in combat, I'd say around half of their victories were due to his tactical prowess and skills, and he's slowly but surely stepping into his leadership role. In terms of actual combat prowess, he's a fairly close second to Raphael.

Leo hardly gets the short end of the stick in the show. None of the Turtles get the short end of the stick. They all have their moments of badassery and moments of embarrassment.

Awesome! I'll have to check out this show. Is there any release date for when the first season is on dvd?

So yeah, episode 24 was kick ass. They've established quite a few plot points that have made me all the more hyped for the season finale coming up, especially the humungous amount of foreshadowing of the last two scenes alone. I mean the season finale's trailer was hype enough, and there's been plenty of build-up established just from the last 90 seconds.

As for flaws, aside from the same one that most episodes have--that is, having a somewhat rushed along pace with the plot of the episode at hand (which is ultimately minor)--I suppose people who might dislike the notion of Donatello being arguably the most touched-upon turtle aren't really given anything to go against their arguments in this episode. But hey, I've never not been amused by his crush on April in this one (especially that picture on his laptop in an earlier episode).

The Newtralizer, I'll assume, will be more delved upon in season 2 as with Mutagen Man and Casey Jones.

You picked a name without me?!

LOVED IT. It's official - TMNT currently is my favorite show.
Gotta love Raph at the end of the episode trying to make up for offending Donny. I was hoping April would at least give Donny a little kiss at the end of the episode.

What? Don't tell me it's weird, after Madagaskar 2 anything's possible.

I actually would like to see them form some semblance of a relationship myself. Donnie wants it soooo bad.

Put as soon as you give him what he wants, the hoke stops being funny.

*But* *joke*... I'm sorry...

Hey if a dragon and a donkey can have babies i dont see why this wont work...

A theory, what if in this show Karai turns out to be Splinter's daughter who supposedly died but instead got taken in by Shredder? Splinter did say she'd be around April's age and Karai is. We know nothing about her mother other than that she lost her and its doubtful that Shredder knocked up someone else while he and Splinter were battling for the same woman. Just a theory.

Pretty sure it's all but stated out loud that Karai is indeed Splinter's daughter.

Good then its not just me. Weird how noone talks about it, should be awesome when the truth comes out.

So josh is gonna play Casey. Is it just me, or does he seem not... ney york enough.

I'd post my thoughts/pros/cons on the Season Finale, but I'm still getting over the ****YEAHMEGAHYPE****YEAH that was the one-on-one fight between Splinter and Shredder. Not only was that pretty much the highlight of the finale, but it was by far the best fight between the two characters in any continuity I've seen. Really, it's proof that the whole Splinter being Hamato Yoshi, and not just his pet rat, was always a better move for plot reasons imo, or at the very least, this series definitely knows how to make the most of that idea. I've said before that this is prolly the most badass incarnation Splinter in any televised version, and this finale just cemented it.

That said, I only wish they didn't cut away from it as much as they did, but that's kinda a shared flaw that all the episodes of this series have had. And we didn't really see much of Dog Pound and Fishface aside from

Spoiler:
Splinter kicking their asses to the moon

Oh, and

Spoiler:
Karai is in fact Splinter's daughter Miwa.

Keeping thT in mind gotta say that Shredder is one sick $&@&. I can understand him trying to kill Splinter out of love for a woman. But that other part of his plan... that is exactly what he wanted to happen. And that's just all kinds of messed up. And he was laughing about it too.

Donny is pretty badass in any episode. If you pick one st random, chances are he's the main character in it.

Any badass Donny moments I should see? Episodes?

Just watch all the episodes. But he was pretty cool in the 24th episode. He gained the upper hand over a non-serious Raphael in combat, and his wise-cracking reminded me of Spider-Man.
Plus the way the other three try and fail to break into a room that Donatello had earlier gotten access to, was hilarious.

When he made a comment about Krang's mother I lol'ed

So, anyone else see the first episode of the second season?

Not as good as the first season's episodes IMO. Casey Jones appearing in the intro was a cool tease though.

Could've benefited more as a two-parter, but I think

April's father being mutated and her cutting all ties with the turtles for the time being

P.S. Farting butt cannons.
