Official Episode Discussion S4 Ep 20: Super Shredder

This was perhaps the second episode this season that played a lot like "Vengeance is Mine"--mostly concerning Karai's capture, entrapment, even her use of her snake form. Other than those things, "Broken Foot" in my opinion, was a near copy of it (it was even written by the same guy).
I can't wait to see what Rie Koga has in store for the season finale, she was that good for any directorial job let alone her first. She was even able to bring back those early shots and settings from seasons past (thanks to her work on the storyboards since Season 1) and the way she had the photos put on fire was reminiscent of "Tale of the Yokai".
I also have warmed up to not getting the direction from Splinter I thought would happen. I thought it'd be interesting to see him almost go down the same vengeful path as Shredder after "Earth's Last Stand" but I think he took that moment as proof for why he shouldn't go down this path. He wasn't perfect in "Tale of the Yokai" and has proven to be pretty resolute in keeping his current path in life. I can respect that.

From the synopsis for the next episode, it's pretty clear we'll be seeing Alopex & hearing Tiger Claw give another take on that backstory of his. I personally can't wait for this one.
