Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...in Space!, January 11, 2008
This review is from: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Season 2, Part 1 (DVD)
This set contains the first twelve episodes of season 2 of the 2003 TMNT series. It's odd that 4Kids/Funi have only chosen twelve episodes, since this season divides cleanly with 13/13 (season 1 had a multi-parter and the 12/14 split made more sense). Maybe they'll revise the set before release?
Whereas season 1 returned the Turtles to a more "gritty" setting, season 2 launches them into space(and later, parallel dimensions). The first five episodes pick up from the season 1 cliffhanger and have our foursome protecting the Fugitoid robot from the Triceraton and Federation soldiers. The next three episodes finally bring the Turtles home and end with a shocking (and controversial) reveal of the Shredder. Taken with "Search for Splinter," it's a non-stop 10-part saga! The set caps off with a filler-ish recap episode, the return of the Nano robot, and introductions to the Ultimate Ninja and Leatherhead (now sans the cajun accent).
In all, it's a fun ride. Season 2 does seem a bit more random in spots, as it's more mini-arcs than one season-long arc. You might question what the whole "Turtles in Space" saga amounts to, but that pays off in spades down the line. Anyone who enjoyed the first season episodes will likely enjoy this set.
And that cover art? Awesome.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Season 2, Part 1
Great video. I loved all new seasons of the turtles except Fast Forward.
I have all the individual DVD's and now all of the season videos as well.

Turtles in Space!, February 21, 2008
This review is from: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Season 2, Part 1 (DVD)
I have to admit, when I first watched this series I hated it. I was totally loving the original series and hated this rehash. I even stopped watching it half-way through the first episode only to find myself interested again SEVERAL months later. When I actually took the time to watch each episode for Season 1 to TMNT: Fast Forward, I must say... I LOVE IT!
The really like how the story is a continuation and while each episode may have its own little story, it is usually related to a previous episode in the time line. Unlike the original series, it carries a plot over several episodes which allows for a more interesting experience. I loved the original as a kid but I think I like this one a little bit better now. It's darker, graphically superior, and has more interesting story lines. If you like Season 1, you'll like Season 2 as the Turtles visit a planet or two in Space.
