Re: Transformers Animated Episode 21 Official Discussion
Okay Episode. I agree with some on this thread that the "moral" was a little forced. Yes, yes, stealing cable/satellite signals is "bad", we know. Or maybe I just feel partially guilty for downloading the episode. Oh well, I'm in Canada, so it sorta okay.....
Speaking of Canada. This episode did not air on CN on the same saturday as it did on YTV (May 10). So considering that, I do not believe that they were aiming to "market" the episode for Speed Racer. I'm pretty sure that it's influenced in some way by the design, but if we start going down the list, we can probably pull up a couple of other Tfs that look like the Mach 5. I would call it a simple coincidence. I realize that Time Warner owns both WB (Speed Racer) and CN. But the designers are from Hasbro, and I don;t think they would go to this explicit length of promoting a non-related movie. Besides, they aired the Haloween episode in February....a little off schedule...
The shows's been pretty cool so far, but I feel that we are just sorta waiting for something to happen. I don't want Megatron to show up every episode, but I feel that we are lacking on some of the bigger themes that only his presence could bring.
At the same time, I will let the episode sit and ferment to see how Season 2 plays as a whole....
