Official Ep Discussion: S3 Finale: "Annihilation: Earth"

Okay, I think I can finally process this.

Lemme say this first
CIRO NEILI, YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD, I WATCHED YOUR SHOW!

Now that's out of the way, this episode was... unexpected, in the best of ways. The last two season finales have always been game changers for the series, but I didn't know how much they could outdo repeating Leonardo #1 in S2's finale.

And then we see why this is one of the most sociopathic Shredders in existence and that is saying something. Sure, the Fred Wolf Shredder in Generation 1 was more of a goofball, and C'hrell in 4Kids' Generation 2 was a major villain, but even then he knew how to make team up deal for mutual survival. This Shredder is ...almost beyond the pale. The world can burn, even his daughter, if it means he can kill a man who was once as close as his brother.

Given the last time Splinter was killed off suddenly without warning - (i.e. Mirage), fan reaction was less than stellar, I am surprised at they'd go that far, even if we all know Time Travel's already been introduced and this will likely be undone.

Just ...still, hearing Mikey cry like that.
MY FEEELS.
*ded*

Also, Casey? You're a dip. Season 4 better begin with April or one of the boys losing their temper and beating the crap out of Casey for saying "This is awesome"
