Did you also notice at the beginning that Donatello said the Mousers could chew thru brick walls like Mikey could chew thru a pizza?! Hmm... and Peter Laird said this show wasn't gonna be all pizza talk. :P > Also liked the fact Mike has a DVD collection, since that is the > biggest pastime my hubby has too. ;] Sure love to have a big set up > like they had! Very obvious some time had passed since the last ep. > Unless they were that industrious going to the junkyard for things. Mikey's DVD collection was awesome. That made me smile... I also thought of you HT when they talked about the DVDs then Mikey said "some weird Korean language soap opera..." ;) And again at the beginning of the ep, when Don called himself a "techno geek" .... the only thing missing in this ep was a big cybornetic horse. > Sewer slider's intriquing too, what with those hovercraft features. > Maybe Don found an old hovercraft boat in the junk yard too... All I can say is Donatello is very resourceful. Did you notice that he didn't even flinch when Raph put a sai thru one of the tv screens? > I also thought, "Gah, April's gotta buttcrack too!" *lol* Yep, doing > the Britney Spears thing with her, all the way. Appearance aside, I > thought her character was good. She acted like how I would expect a > suspicous lab assistant would, and then some. LOL... yeah. I kinda sat there with my jaw open wide when I saw her butt-crack. But then it passed because earlier in the morning, I'd seen part of cartoon where a dog went into a garage looking for peace and quiet... well, the huge man looking under the hood of the car had practically his entire ass exposed... it was all gross looking and then he said, "Ohhh, I think I gotta..." Then there was this huge green cloud that formed a skull that emitted from his pants... along with the appropriate sound effects. Like they said, kids nowadays can handle a lot more. > The humor was just as good. Lots of more good quotes again! And i'm > getting used to how they draw the TMNT too now. ;p Ever since I first saw the new look, I always thought AC Farley had a hand in it. If you look at the covers to CAW and the collected books, the TMNT look very similar to the new toon.... especially in the mask area. I REALLY enjoy the action aspect of the show. Someone must have REALLY studied martial arts moves to get them just right in the animation. And overall, everything just seems heavier, doesn't it? > My nit picks... how come Raph doesn't electrocute himself when he stabs > a mouse with his sai?

And about the spikes, I'm pretty sure Raph commented about Mikey's grip... apparently the way he was hanging on was digging into Raph's ankles. He even said the name of the spikes, but since I'm dim, I don't really recall what the name was. As for my nitpicks... I'm kind of second-guessing the voice talent of Baxter Stockman. I dunno, he just sounds toooo voice actorish. Like, I can only see the guy standing at the microphone recording lines instead of actually seeing Baxter talking to April. But that's VERY nitpicky. Oh and does anyone else notice the move from full to widescreen every so often? I think that kicks ass... And, guess what guys... I LOVE the theme song. :D > Good show! *clap-clap* ENCORE!!! ENCORE!!! -Mikey QM "Why can't we leave the wall crawling to the guy in red and blue tights?!" "You read way too many comic books..."
