"Shredder Triumphant" episode thread, Season 7 finale

"Shredder Triumphant" was a very important episode of the original cartoon for several reasons, as it was an "end of an era" type deal:

- This is the finale of Season 7, and thus the last episode of the original formula of the show before the series was rebranded for Seasons 8-10.

- This is the last episode where Shredder/Krang have the Technodrome on Earth, and the last time they repower it. After this it gets lost in Dimension X

- This would be the second to last episode the Channel 6 building is still standing

- This episode is the only time Krang almost took over the Earth, with Rock Soldiers marching on City Hall.

I quite liked this episode also because of seeing the slave pits of Dimension X. While the whole Weasel not really being bad and his brother stuck in the pits was a little predictable, I liked seeing the more ugly side of Krang's operations that we don't usually see in the series.

I also love the way the Turtles baited Shredder to letting them back through the portal from Dimension X and how Raph and Leo take on the Shredder alone. Other notable moments is how Bebop/Rocksteady actually try to kill April/Irma/Vernon in this episode by shooting them out the window, which was quite gruesome for those two.

And lastly, Irma's action-heroine personality in this episode was hilarious. This is one of the last moments of glory her character gets in the series before being written out too.

Pretty good episode, my only gripe is not seeing more of Traag and the Soldiers but oh well.
