I don't remember the name of the episode but I'm sure either one of you or Mystic will let me know by the end of the day. *L* Or I'll watch it again and find out myself. Anyway...

GohanWinner
The pre-theme teaser is Gen walking down New York, freaking people out with Usagi narrating.... Then we get the opening (which I still don't like the lyric changes to, but that's a rant for another day....) and then we see Leo training with like lanterns or something. I still don't really know what he was doing. O_o; Meanwhile, Casey and the other guys are watching. They all comment on how he's been an annoying hardass lately. Casey doesn't quite get it, but oh well. He's special. And then, Leo throws his sword at Raph's punching bag (jerk) and Raph attempts to go pummel some sense into him, but the otehrs hold him back. Meanwhile, a portal opens up from the pool in the center of the lair!

Splinter is expecting company! surprised Out from the portal, Usagi and Gen walk out. Leo smiles for the first time in well, a while. Everyone's happy to see Usagi. Gen, not so much. Then, they all go out on the town to show their buddies the sights. Mikey introduces the two to hot dogs. Usagi asks what it's made of. Luckily, we fade out before an answer is given. >_>;

Later that night, Leo and Usagi meet and talk about how Leo's beinga hardass. Then they spar, and the two discuss. Usagi quite obviously hits some sort of nerve inside Leo's broken head, but, not a big enough one to make him realize he's being foolish. Dumb dumb.

Then, Mikey comes out and is lahk "GEN'S NOT HERE OMGWTF!?!?!?!"

Gen's walking around the streets of NY, inadvertantly terrorizing the people. He walks up toa pretzel vender,and he runs away like WOAH! :O Meanwhile, the turtles go out looking for him. They explain to Usagi that anthro animals aren't exactly common in this world. Elsewhere, Gen sees a big tough guy walking his big tough dog. Both freak out like little babies at the sight of a rhino. Gen comments on his cool duds, and then goes out to get his own.

Oh yeah, 'round this time, another portal opened up in an alley, and a guy looking suspiciously like Ganon from that crappy Zelda cartoon walked out. He's looking for Usagi, Gen and the Kame ninja Leonardo.

So, Gen walks out of a clothing store, decked out like Rocksteady (XDD!!) and is met with a bunch of people freakin' out, yo. The turtles finally find him! Officer Laird confronts Gen, but a faux-mugging from the alley (performed by MIkey and Raph) takes his attention. And just in time Casey comes to bail Gen out, having been called by his turtle pals.

So, then Mikey and Raphc limb back up to the roof, but it gets blown up before they actually get up and then they fall down. The warthog fellow from earlier is here! He gets ready to fight Usagi and Leonardo. Donny gets ready to fight too, and then Raph and MIkey manage to get back up. But once they do the roof blows up and they fall down. And Donny just kinda disappears.

Usagi and Leo fight the warthog assassin, and after aw hile, the pig throws dirt in Leo's eye. ANd this for some reason incapacitates him, despite he was training blind earlier in the episode. So,like, aftera w hile the warthog almost beats Usagi, then Leo saves him.

Yay.

The turtles and USAGIIII go back to the lair. Gen and Usagi get ready to leave, and stuff ands tuff. Usagi talks to Leo about how he needs to let go of the stupid guilt he has!!! But Leo's like "I'M DUMB AND I DON'T WANNA!" and Usagi's like "FINE!" and then Splinter talks to Usagi privately saying he hoped that Usagi would have been able to get through to Leo, and Usagi laments his inability, as does Splinter.

Thennn they take the piggy assassin back to their world. Then Mikey comes out, warning not to let Gen leave. He stole his Silver Sentry comics!

The episode ends with the camera panning out from above Mikey crying "NOOOOO!!"

My thoughts on this ep...

Yeah remember when I missed Grudge Match (I think that was the name) because I was sick and my boyfriend's an a**? Remember how upset I was that I'd missed it? If I had missed this one then that past display of angst would have been NOTHING. This episode... wow.

I loved it. First off, Don finally speaks up about Leo's change which to me is a good thing since up to this point he was the only brother not to. I noticed that immediately. And then Leo with Raph's bag... y'know I think he did that on purpose. eek Wtf Leo?!

Second, Usagi... need I say more. *squee* I love Usagi so much, I want this dvd to come out NOW, I need stills damnit! And also though he wasn't able to change Leo's mind I think he got through to him at least the tiniest of bits. I honestly don't know why I think that, Leo didn't exactly show any signs of it, but that's what I think. *shrug*

Third, did anyone notice Gen's... attire? *falls over laughing* Also, is it me or did they go from one mispronunciation to the other? At first weren't they pronouncing his name Jen-o-skay? And now they're pronouncing it Gen-o-soo-kay? I could be wrong on the first pronunciation though, but if not... well... they're trying I guess... maybe next season they'll get it right. *L*

Fourth... that battle at the end... seriously I'm almost embarassed to admit that I was literally yelling at Leo in my head. (I couldn't do it out loud, Ryan would never let me live it down because as previously mentioned, he's an a**). But during the part where he was blinded I kept saying "Leo, you've already proven you don't need to see, what the hell is wrong with you?". I may or may not have gone off the deep end...

Then the preview for next week's episode... I know I can't be alone in thinking this has GOT to be leading somewhere and I'm really ******** excited.

just like splinter, i too hoped that usagi would get to leo. but oh well. we'll see what happens next week.


hey, what happened to donny during the rooftop fight? he got knocked down...then leo ran to him before the fight really began and rolled him over. then i don't know if i blinked or what because suddenly don wasn't around anymore. then towards the end he suddenly comes in from out of nowhere.



lady leo - i don't remember the title. but it was like a 2-word title and had to do with friends or visitors or something. *can't quite remember fully* sweatdrop

Gensteady was too cool for words. If only that pig looks more like Bebop.

Loved today's episode, from the apparent old school toon reference (when I saw Gennosuke in the Rocksteady costume, I immediately said "Woah, I wonder if that warthog looks like Bebop under there!), to the general awesomeness of Usagi.

I liked Raph referring to Leo as "mental"... pretty edgy for a kid's show.

Why do they constantly make it seem like the Turtles can't fight blinded? They're effing NINJA! Splinter trains them speficially TO fight without sight!

I laughed out loud when Gennosuke referred to Casey as a member of the "Saru Clan". My brother's like "huh?" and I say, "He just called him a monkey!" Also... apparently Donny speaks more Japanese here than he does in Movie 3.

You're not incorrect about the pronounciations, Lady, but at least this pronounciation is closer. The "u" is only sometimes used as a silent letter in Japanese... but hey, at least they pronounce "Miyamoto" correctly now! I can't help but wonder if this was in regard to my e-mail to Mirage about how they're mispronouncing their Japanese (or perhaps Stan Sakai got after 'em)

Oh, and did anybody think of the old flatulent master of next week's ep as a midget Bo' Rai Cho?

That was EXACTLY who was on my mind, Rob! xd Speaking of which, I recently bought the 3-DVD box set of the Zelda cartoon.

This was a great episode. I liked Gen's funny remarks as he was walking around town. Will our turtles ever get to visit their world again?

It was nice to see Usagi, too. I was also pissed that he couldn't talk some sense into Leonardo... I guess Leo will have to follow his own path, as he said himself. whee

And Gen stole Mikey's Silver Sentry [sp?] comics!
