I never actually got to respond to this so I'll say this:
That quote perfectly sums up everything that went wrong with this show.
A lot of the storytelling in this series is done through intervals (and this is in NO WAY helped by Nickelodeon's airing schedule) - so we're basically waiting on events to play out WAY after the set up. Like...an INORDINATE amount of time in a narrative sense.
Tiger Claw's motivation was the MEAT of that episode; something tangible that the audience can identify as a building block to his character and it wasn't even included in the episode, presumably kept back for Alopex's next appearance. Why should I be excited for the next dish when my first plate was empty?
Don't even bring up the fact that I liked Bay Turtles; saying those movies didn't even have ANY meat to them, because that's an entirely different meal.
