"Nobody's Fool" comes mighty close to not fitting the mold of character-narrated intros. But, since it's at least still an internal monologue for the most part...
Weren't there a few of these in the Ninja Tribunal Season - like they would just show Splinter's nightmares as an intro, no narration at all?

"The Entity Below" shows that 'The Green Man' (from Season 1's ep, "Monster Hunter") was a Y'lintean beast of burden.
And we get appearances of the other 'beasts of burden' in future eps - the Fish-People in "Sons of the Silent Age," and Raptarr from "Wing and a Prayer." It's little details like this that make me love the NT ever so much more than the OT. Little easter eggs of continuity that make it all worth watching again and again.

"Exodus" Part Two was the first season finale without some indication of where the next season was going. And, it wasn't until the middle of the following season that they decided on a direction.
Yeah, I rank Season 4 as one of my least favorites - just for this lack of direction. The first 3 seasons are such a power-house of storyline, all building up to Exodus. That is pretty hard to top.

""Across the Universe" showed both D'Hoonibian Cantina chef and Sleeg from the Triceraton prison at the finish line at the end of the ep. They have a long life-span, don't they?
Did you also notice the frequent cameo appearances by the civilian couple (I think it was a black man with dreads, and a white woman with pink hair) who were in the very first ep leaving a bar... threatened by the Triceraton alien invasion... threatened by the Tengu Shredder takeover... etc. etc.

"Dragon's Brew" demands a follow-up. V9581 deserves a happy ending.
Word, I completely forgot about that sad sucker. Talk about the biggest downer of a TMNT episode...

Quote:
"All Hallows Thieves" has a decidedly Australian, not Arabic, 'King of Thieves'. What's up with that?
Hmm... perhaps it has something to do with creators not wanting to perpetuate the racist 'Arab = Terrorist' stereotype?

"The Ancient One" seems to be the only ep where he is voiced by the first guy.
I was hoping that would be the only ep The Ancient One was in... period.
