Cons...
No backstory(which does come 2 episodes later) does hurt this episode as any newcomers to the franchise would likely be lost.

Yeah, while I absolutely love the 4Kids series, I don't think it had as strong of an opening episode as the original cartoon. And I agree about the lack of an origin story for the opening episode. It had been a good five years since the TMNT had been on the air. It's very likely that a 5-7 year old might not have known why there was big walking talking turtles. The creators took a chance in waiting a few episodes to get to their origin. And then waiting all the way until episode 10 to get to Shredder's (first) backstory with Hamato Yoshi.
