Some thoughts on the episode and what other people have said about it.
To be honest, thinking about it more now, I kind of feel bad for April Derp. She didn't really seem like she was trying to hurt anyone (she was just hugging them, if I remember correctly) and the fact that she was a reject that was probably going to be disposed of by the Kraang anyway just makes it more sad. Anyone else think we're gonna somehow see her again? How did she manage to get her own render and bio on that Nick website if she was going to be a one time character?
I think the Kraang plots would be more interesting if them and the Foot teamed up even more. They have an alliance, sure, but I think it would be a lot cooler if they teamed up directly, having a lair together, etc...would be even cooler if they recruited all the "stray mutants" (Snakeweed, Spider Bytez, Cockroach, Squirrelanoids, etc.) After all, they all hate the turtles, so it would be cool to have one big team of villains, with Shredder as the leader. Deadly ninjas + crazy mutants + alien technology = best villain team ever. I like solo villains too, but I don't consider any of these stray mutants solo villains since they basically disappear after their debut episode. If they're not gonna be doing anything most of the time, atleast have them working for the Foot/Kraang. They don't have to have major roles at all times, just something to let us know they're still around.
I really hated April in this episode. It's like she was annoyed that the turtles were saving her. I get that she wants her independence or whatever, but come on, she was about to get impaled by a needle while tied up...and was annoyed by the fact that Raph was saving her. Come on. I do like that Raph saved her, though, hasn't this been the first time she's been saved by someone else than Donnie (and/or all four of them)?
