Just watched the two parter. Awesome. But.. [SPOILER - highlight to read]: a cliffhanger? Really? Crap. Can't wait.
Also Leo going full badass mode was epic. Although I'm kind of upset that [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Irma ended up being a krang (apparently voiced by Godfrey lol) still a waste of potentially good classic character. Found it funny that in TMNT verse all humans are just apes Krang mutated with mutagen centuries ago.

But it's either that or waiting for months before they get the rights to air it on tv in my country but it's going to be with a crappy voiceover. Screw that, if I go to hell for it it'll be worth it.

I agree with that second spoiler part. I'm really not sure entirely what to think of that twist and, HUGE as it was, if was really for the better unless they try to make something of it later on, be it by [SPOILER - highlight to read]: showing us that there actually IS a real Irma, or bringing back Kraang Sub-Prime. I think it goes without saying alot of fans would prefer the former. Season 3 is supposedly hitting the air alot sooner than it took Season 2, so we'll know soon enough.
Anyway I read before that the season 2 finale was gonna take a darker turn here and there, and they weren't lying. Aside from, again, that second spoiler, I definitely think it was pretty effective, and certainly lays down the kind of foundation for what kind of crisis they'll be in for Season 3. The whole thing comes off not too unlike how Book two of Avatar ended. Pretty clearly, it's coming from another staple arc from the comic and the first movie, as well as being adapted from the comic in the '03 cartoon. Altogether, the best word to use for this finale was "intense". The turtles resources wore thinner and thinner as the circumstances escalated, and the sense of the ending was almost kind of reversed from how Season 1 ended--instead of the turtles triumphing and saving the city yet with Kraang Prime still alive, [SPOILER - highlight to read]: the city is being terraformed by the perfected mutagen with numerous citizens falling victim to it, the Turtles having to hide out somewhere, and Splinter still being alive. I'm also hoping that wasn't the last we see of Leatherhead after he finally managed to come back.
So I was on Tumblr and while dodging hailstorms of [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Irma fanrage, I came upon this post that could turn out to be the second twist with the character. Again, MAJOR FINALE SPOILERS. http://syb3rstrife.tumblr.com/post/...s-is-where-they
I had my own thoughts on what could turn out to be this continuity's own little twists on things with that concept. Like [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Irma actually turns out to have been an A.I. created by the Kraang who goes independent and gets a new robot body and switches sides. That would be kinda cool, as in going all the way with the twist about her, but in a way that fans would probably accept more than if they dropped things here and now for good.
Yeah, not sure where that situation's going, if anywhere. Really intense episode though.
This week's breather episode was, well, so damn good.
Full of shout outs to the original comic, the first movie, certain horror genres, this was great to watch.
Add characterization, angst, drama, action and humor in equal parts...no complaints here.
I like the horror movie approach they're taking but the last episode was a bit too much for a kids show I think. The swamp monster episode was only somewhat creepy.. but the last one has [SPOILER - highlight to read]: The Thing/The Faculty written all over it. I can see some people complaining after it gives their kids nightmares.
