Shredder can't say that he met them before. This is still a virtual reality simulation. Baxter just turned off the safeties and made it real. Well, we got some of our answers that were left from the first season. We know that Shredder's now an evil Utrom. And that they crashed in Feudal Japan and that's where he first rose to power and formed the original Foot Clan. Can't wait for next week, hopefully the Guardians make their apperance to stop the Foot Soldiers and send Shredder packing. As for who Baxter's talking too...hmm, tough call. We'll have to wait and see.
