Both stories deal with great losses... I gotta go with Karai.

I pick Metalhead Rewired because it reminds me what I love about Donnie and as much I love Karai, I think this new thing of her being a mutant is not going get touch upon and her characterization like most of the other human turn mutants, wil get taken away and become part of the background.

The Karai episode was tragic like it suppose to and I like that, and I like the snake design because it's unique and sensible to a snake's biology but for me this was a end of a great character and not suppose to be while the Metalhead Rewired was a showcase of a great character with and a end that suppose to be death. Personally I think his sacrifice for the turtles didn't really respect him(except Donnie) or even trust him in the first place was a bigger tragedy.

Metalhead Rewired made me emotional for a robot. It doesn't even have a soul...but that farewell thumb up at the end just gets me. What the hell? :(

Vengeance is Mine. I've only seen the end but love how Leo cares so much for Karai and once I see the whole thing I'll probably really like it.

[evan2000]

Yes, both were emotional episodes, but I only felt sorry for Metalhead who willingly sacrificed himself despite not gaining trust from the turtles earlier. Besides, Donnie could still rebuild Metalhead if he wants to.

In Vengeance is Mine, it's not Karai that I felt sorry for, but rather Splinter for having such a short-lived reunion with his long lost daughter and then having to witness her mutation right in front of his eyes, and not being able to do anything about it. The whole incident affected his emotion much longer than the loss of Metalhead affected Donnie's, which I believe was gotten over with relatively quickly.

Bumping this up only once so people know it's here.

Still can go either way.
