I know it! I thought the child turtles were *adorable*! It would have been neat to see the whole "April writes in her journal" scene from the comics, but I still felt as though this had a Miragey type feel, which I totally love. >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. Yes, it was definitely predictable. Still, I DID laugh in places. I like how Splinter chuckled after April kicked Casey out of the house. >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 had the same reaction! I was SOOOOO hoping to see that barn fight! That would have been awesome. Maybe they felt it was a bit TOO violent for the kiddies...? Though they wouldn't have necessarily had to end it with Raph throwing Leo through the wall (though I admit, I was really hoping we'd see that). Oh well...still, overall, I am totally impressed with this new series. To me, it has a real Mirage feel, which is great. That IS my favorite TMNT "universe" after all. :) Dawnatello
