Blah, I was so excited for this episode all week, and I can't help but feel totally let down.My sister and I rewatched the older episodes before this, and I gotta say I wish that Don had acted more like he did in the premier than how he was portrayed here. I liked premier Don because he was struck me as more of a wiseass, at least in regards to Raph's poking fun of him and how he took the initiative to be a bit more daring and reckless when it came to what he felt was right. In this episode, he just sort of took it or "defended" himself in a way that made him look even more like a dork.
Also rubbed me the wrong way how in Turtle Temper, the group was sort of missing Raphael before they even went into battle, yet in this episode, none of them could really care less that Don had replaced himself with Metalhead, other than the fact that Matelhead was loud and in the way. And no one, not even Don, really seemed to realize in the end how he should appreciate his Bo for what it can do...I mean, I was pumped for the end when he was to realize it and his true capabilities and rise to defend his brothers when they needed him, but then the stupid Bo got snapped again! I mean, come on! It was like, they all get home, and oh hey, yeah Don this was your fault and you just proved our point at how useless you are. At least at the end of New Friend, Old Enemy, Mikey got a little pep talk with Raph at how he is appreciated, even though he screwed up royally too. Don just gets a short little whatever snippet with Splinter that doesn't really seem to drive home any sort of point at all.
