I don't know what to say.
Well, I'll start off saying that I didn't enjoy the first episode of this finale too much, but the second part was pretty incredible. Very fast-paced. I loved the action scenes and the fighting. I'm 50/50 on Bishop, maybe because I just reached the part in 2k3 where Bishop is introduced (I'm watching 2k3 for the first time) and I really did like him in that. It's pretty soon for me to see his character completely shifted, if this can even be called Bishop.
This season finale doesn't really beat the one of S2 for me but it's close. For most of it I felt like "Well, that moment was cool" followed by "Now why did that dumb thing have to happen?" until the awesome count-down scene where Splinter got stabbed. The imagery was amazing, the music was intense, everything was perfect. The reactions seemed genuine, until they kind of ebbed in believability once in Honeycutt's ship. Because of this I love Shredder even more as a villain. There's nothing he won't do, the mad man. Please, don't kill him off for a long time, but eventually he will meet his consequences!
Seriously, this version of Shredder is my favorite TMNT villain ever.
Mikey was annoying but helpful. I wanted to punch Casey at the end. I know he said "This is awesome" to make a happy ending for the little, little kids (who shouldn't be watching this version of TMNT if they can't handle sad moments yet) but why couldn't Fugitoid be the one to lift the mood? He could have said a joke or something or try to make the turtles smile, but instead Casey forgot everything that had just happened.
I don't really have much else to say. The little details on this episode were great, the ending was intense and by far the best part, some things were unnecessary (i.e. Raph's throwing up joke, Mikey's grating constant screaming) and some necessary things weren't shown (more genuine reactions to the aftermath).
