This episode blew me away. I feel like I haven't been too thrilled with the last few eps but this was just...wow. I LOVE that we get some character development from Donnie that doesn't relate to April. We really see how much he took to heart his responsibility over Tim and even once he was mutated he was still determined to help him. That's just awesome. This is going to be something weighing in on his mind in the future and I'm super excited to see how he deals with it. Not only that but he got in some really badass fighting moves for once too, even without his bo!
And I'm glad there were a few others also slightly disturbed at Tim's mutation. Hearing him scream was really unsettling, and I personally never really disliked The Pulverizer like I know many others seemed to, so I felt really bad for him. It shows just how far he was really willing to go to be just like his heroes, and I don't know if the creators intended for his backstory to be quite so deep, but it makes me really sad to wonder how he was treated to make him idolize the turtles THAT much, that he'd be willing to throw his whole life away just to help them and be accepted by them.
Anyway, the mix of humor and darkness in this was just spot on. I genuinely laughed out loud more than a couple of times, yet the serious turn the ep took still ran smoothly and totally gripped me. This episode was just excellent from start to finish and I seriously hope we get a lot more like it.
