Splinter in Fast Forward

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 05-25-2007, 02:38 PM

Would someone please tell me why Splinter had to “fast forward” with the Turtles? I mean, what purpose has he served at all?

In previous seasons, he’s fought the Shredder and the Foot Clan multiple times, been “kidnapped” by Utroms, prevent a coup in the Battle Nexus (okay, actually, he did this twice), fight off Triceraton and Federation invaders, been kidnapped by Bishop, try to obtain a cure for his mutated son, tried rescue his abducted sons from the Ninja Tribunal, and defeat the Tengu Shredder.

In Fast Forward, he watches soap operas, he grows a garden, he got bodyjacked by Jammerhead, implanted by Sh’Okanabo, fought in a bar brawl with Serling, messed around with the Journal, graduated the Turtles, and went time travelling with Don.

Okay, the writers could have found someone else (like Starlee, maybe) to get bodyjacked, implanted, and go time traveling. For graduating the Turtles, Cody could just have uploaded a holo-Splinter in the dojo.

Think of what might have been: after landed 99 years in the future, the four Turtles begin to drift away as a family. Don is obsessed with the future’s technology, Mikey is ecstatic to be able to walk the streets in broad daylight, and Raph is bitter and wants to go home. Leo finally wakes up to the fact that his family is collapsing, and has to bring them back together. Oh yeah, and help Cody deal with his crooked uncle Darius.

Thoughts, everyone? Sound like it could’ve been good?
