In what order should I watch the final ten episodes?
 

So, with the Monster Arc already out on Youtube, and the Crossover coming tomorrow, and the finale coming on the 22nd, I'm conflicted on how I should watch them. Should I just find the Monster Arc so I can watch it now, watch the crossover and then watch the finale on the 22nd, or should I just wait to watch the Monster Arc on TV, and then save the Future arc for when I finish that. I don't know, what do you guys think?

The 80's crossover will be on DVD tomorrow and I already made a spoiler thread but don't answer it until tomorrow.

I think you should watch the episodes in their production order, as the creators intended. It goes like this:

1. Kavaxas Arc
2. Lone Rat and Cubs
3. Monster Arc
4. When Worlds Collide
5. Second Crossover
6. Usagi Arc
7. Mutant Apocalypse

I've already seen everything that's aired on TV, It's just I feel kind of guilty for watching the Monster Arc online instead of watching it on TV. Then again, Nick has shown time, and time again that they're done caring about this show, so...

To be honest, they don't give us any other choice but watching it by DVDs or online. It's their fault for messing the order. If Nickelodeon doesn't care about us, we don't have to care about their channel anymore. And the show is not going to get another new season, so ratings are not important anymore

Guilty? They're effectively dooming the last 10 episode to do worse than 0.2 in the ratings by moving it to Nicktoons, you should not feel any guilt.

This whole season was basically made where you can watch it out of order besides the first arc with Shredder and the last arc taking place in the future. It doesn't really matter.

If you don't want to stream online, I can assure you that while the Monster arc is fun and all, it's pure filler. If I had to do over, I would just watch the future arc on the 22nd and wait until Halloween night to watch the Monster 4-parter.

True, Plus it's not like I'm not supporting the show. I ordered the Crossover DVD, and I've bought a handful of the action figures.

Then wouldn't it make more sense to write the Hothead arc as the ending?

While it could have been, they wanted to start the season off with something big. I also think it makes sense because it frees up Karai and Bebop/Rocksteady to be involved in other stuff following Shredder's death.

Owari would have been a great finale. And End Times would have been a serviceable last episode too. Really the rest of season 5 has been filler. Really awesome filler, but still filler.

Well see which way the future arc swings.

I say watch it however you want and leave it at that. If you want to watch it in order, do that. I'm going to watch it as it airs on TV even if I get the DVD that's supposed to come out tomorrow.

I haven't even watched the Usagi and When Worlds Collide episodes yet, I'm watching everything on their intended order, and that's that.
