Scenes/Ideas that didn't make it?

Hi. Just wondering if there's some stuff that was "intended, but didn't make it"

In "Enter the Shredder", during the fight with all those robots, there's a scene with the Roadkill Rodneys coming out of the pit "We Must Stop Them!" Yet there isn't any rematch with them.

Also, in "Return of the Technodrome", there's some suggestion that Irma is infatuated with the Turtles. Maybe that was what I'll call "Uncertainty Liberty", that when you're not sure if you'll be continuing a show (maybe they thought it might be the last episode when they made it) you sometimes go to some extremes.

Thirdly, in "20,000 Leaks Beneath the Sea", when the tidal wave rushes through the sewers, you see Splinter go down the waterfall, and he says "Farewell, Turtles"....but after the ad break, you see him about to go over, but he's cought and brought up the manhole. Was it originally going to be a "we thought you died" episode, but they determined that would be too "heavy"?

A fourth example....that de facto two-parter with the portal generator, that has "Hokum Hare" in it. I'm almost wondering if they originally intended Usagi Yojimbo to return, but, maybe they couldn't get the rights again, so they created "Hokum" to "fill in the gaps", so to speak.

So, any comments?

And any other places that suggest scenes or ideas that didn't make it?
