Last week's was really good, especially for a clip show. When I first heard that it was going to be a clip show, I admit to feeling a tad disappointed, almost cheated. Most clip shows just come across as "Well, we HAD to make an extra episode, so we might as well do this" kinda shows. Not so with this one. Instead of showing Leo's shining moments from the show, they made new clips of the guys as kids (now wouldn't that make a cute series? "Ninja Turtle Kids" <G>).
I loved "Tales of Leo"! The flashbacks were so cool, especially Mike's!
This week's episode had some moments but was a little predictable. Gee, Mike got out of his "Green Man" costume almost immediately, but not so with Casey...gee, they're not going to somehow get Casey caught by the Crocodile...err...Monster Hunter and have him discredit her, are they? The Leo/Raph moments were good, though...and I did get a kick out of April asking Splinter for help in learning meditation to help deal with Casey - "Some things, even meditation cannot help". Heh.
I thought it was cute for a stand-alone episode, and the part with the monster turning out to be a mommy was so cute! The only thing that I thought was weird is how the Monster Hunter looked way too much like a guy. She must have some kinda hormonal imbalance.
The biggest disappointment with this ep, though, came at the very end. Yay! Leo's back! That was good. But...they're just going back to New York? No build up? No fight in the barn? Awwwww!
I think the main reason Raph and Leo didn't get into a fight was because Raph already vented out his frustrations and decided to be more compassionate towards his brother.
