I don't know what to think about this episode, but I don't like it. I thought it was...creepy? Maybe? April's almost lobotomy was uncomfortable to watch. And April derp was gross. And April herself was annoying. And April's origin revelation was...meh. Anticlimactic.
I always found Foot episodes more interesting than the Kraang ones and this episode proves why. While the Foot have so many aspects of their story to explore (Shredder in Japan, Dogpound now Rahzar, new robotic foot, Karai not knowing her origin) the Kraang are still just trying to mutate the earth. Nothing has changed and as a result all of the episodes are formulaic. It's always find out Kraang's secret plan, find their hideout, fight the Kraang, fight some silent and large mutant, and then barely escape. The Kraang Conspiracy is the Alien Agenda and Operation: Breakout, minus Karai and Kirby.
Few other things:
- I don't trust Kurtzman. And his business card was super weird.
- Did the Kraang guns ever hit anyone? Like seriously. Kraang have crappy aim.
- So how did TCRI magically rebuild itself in the course of a few episodes?
- I still wish Kraang prime was female.
- Mikey's tofu comment totally reminded me of Beast Boy.
- I used to love Donnie's crush on April season 1. I thought it was adorable and added dimension to his character. Now I think I'm over it.
- Why did the Kraang find the need to change April's headband?
- So...no mention of Kirby bat? In an episode completely devoted to April?
Not a horrible episode. I think this is my least favorite of the season, though.
