![[TV] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: “New Girl in Town” Review | IGN.com
“WARNING: Full spoilers from the episode to follow.
This week’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles began with a high-energy chase, as the Turtles tailed after the menacing Snakeweed, who made off with — GASP! — the pizza guy! Unfortunately, Leonardo and Raphael’s arguing gave Snakeweed just enough to time to escape, resulting in a mission failure for our heroes. Tensions only grew when Leo walked out on the team, and he soon found himself in the face of a new enemy — or should I say “frenemy?” — the Foot’s kunoichi Karai (voiced by Kelly Hu)!” - Max Nicholson, IGN.com

![[TV] Kelly Hu Discusses Karai’s Introduction | IGN.com
IGN’s Eric Goldman was lucky enough to speak to actress Kelly Hu regarding her role as Karai in Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:
“IGN TV: With Ninja Turtles, you’re coming on as a character that’s had many interpretations and different versions. How would you describe this version of the character?
Kelly Hu: I have to admit that I’ve never seen any other version of Karai, so I really have nothing to compare her to — which is kind of a good thing, because then I just get to play her as I see her myself. But she’s sort of feisty, badass and kicks butt. She gets to have a little going on with Leonardo. What I like about playing this character is she’s not all bad. She has a conscience that she has to wrestle with.”

![[INTERVIEW] Hoon Lee On Voicing Splinter | ComicsAlliance
ComicsAlliance’s Caleb Goellner caught up with Hoon Lee, voice of Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Splinter, to discuss his work as Splinter:
“ComicsAlliance: When I first heard that Nickelodeon’s new series would be portraying Splinter as a younger, physically larger and more durable father figure, I had reservations. After the first episode, though, I really warmed up to the new take. What do you like about his modified dynamic with his sons on the new series?
Hoon Lee: For one thing it actually strengthens the sense of fatherhood for me. He’s at a more appropriate age to have teenage kids. It keeps his relationship with the boys less removed. Also, his greater physical capability means there are more conscious decisions being made. Letting the boys venture on their own means something different for instance. And choosing to remain at home when there’s danger abroad also means something different. These are all interesting avenues for the character.”
