OK, Season 3.

IMHO, this is where the show really goes off the rails. and starts to loose whatever cohesivness it had.

- an entire world believes that NYC is fine? yet aliens walk the streets and the city is basically dark and deserted? OK.

- the rest of the country seems to not really care and goes about business as normal.

- we went into the first half of the season. Foot to big, buried secrets, within the woods, croaking, terrible. race with the demon, eyes of the chimera, vision quest, in dreams. not as bad as I remember.

The second half of the season feels like a totally different series. seems like two show runners split the season in 2.

The Good - Pig and the Rhino, Battle for New York, Serpent Hunt, Return to New york, Clash of the Mutanimals, Turtles in Time, Tale of the Yokai, Creeping Doom, Fourfold Trap, Annihalation Earth.

The bad -
Casey Jones Vs the Underworld, the Noxious Avenger,

- the OK.....
Meet Mondo Gecko, Attack of the Mega Shredder, Dinsosaur seen in sewers...

for the last three, the mondo episode wasn't a bad retread of the 87 series. But Mondo himself is so pointless and useless that it makes the episode not needed. and deletes anything cool about the race that happens later.

I had pretty much forgotten then entire plot of the Mega Shredder episode. The actual plot itself wasn't bad. including the creation of the mega mutant. It's the mega mutant itself that gets stupid. from the 'the brain is the tounge' part to mikey surviving being eaten. and the rather pointless turtle mech creation. the entire battle just feels like filler.

dino in the sewers WOULD have been OK, but you don't feel for zog in this one. he regains his memories and his feelings and basically turns evil, negating the whole raph bonding thing. therefore his sacrifice feels flat and you don't care.

they also basically seem to forget about Krang Prime after this. She seems to vanish totally.
