DING DING DING DING!
Looks like Clockstomper was right last week: looks like Ominous Talking Men of Foreshadowing are indeed DARPA, or at least government. Who knew?
As for the episode...Mmm, epic-y; more so, even, than Starcrossed. Seeing both the new, improved, force-field proof, non-oxigen breathing Justice Force and the Shredder being all pragmatic made the episode for me.
Random comments:
Ah, so that's how the Triceratons destroyed their homeworld (and created the cool Planet-Shard Ships). So are Displaced Chinese alive or not? If they are alive, and if it does end up setting up a future episode, I hope it remains in space, or at least becomes a traveling Earth-colony. It'd be cool to have Earth permanently changed by the encounter (something that rarely happens in american cartoons like these--hello, Justice League).
Y'know, when Casey and the civilians were holding the Triceraton blasters, I thought the artists had drawn them too long. Then I remembered that they were supposed to look that way, since human hands are smaller than Triceratons'.
Less April and Casey than I would have liked, but the episode seemed meaty enough without them. Let's hope they manage to do something with them next episode.
Zandrammon and Donny brought the funny in this episode. That being said, Zandy should really be noticing the Transionic particles heading away from Earth...
So Donny and the Turtles have been outed. I wonder if a world who has accepted and even drafted the Justice Force will similarly accept the turtles. Either way, it'll be interesting--I've always loved these "taken out of the closet" stories, and I hope this one turns out to be good.
The recap/teaser? Gold. It seems Triceratons are naturals at those. Hey, DVD people! You better be including these!
Not only does it give the arc a more epic feel (not everything takes place in NYC), but I believe it also sets up an episode later in the season.
