Favorite (And Least Favorite) New Characters

The series is into its seventh season now, and has branched out from comic adaptations into its own distinct universe with plenty of new characters. I thought it might be interesting to see which cast members original to the show were most, or least enjoyed by fans.

Favorite new characters:

Bishop - I think they made a fantastic villain in Bishop. He's dark, he has an interesting back story, and his fight scenes are terrific. I always like the apsect of the Turtles as urban legends or science anomalies played up, and Bishop capatilizes on this as well.

Serling - I just like the guy. Sort of a fresh take on the stuffy comic relief character. I know he may be a bit derivative, but I think he's a worthy entry to the Turtles mythos.

Least favorite new character:

The Ancient One - Irritating, derivative, and he can't decide whether he's Chinese or Japanese. He would have been tolerable, barely, as a one shot character.

If you want to make the case for a significantly different take on an old character (arguably Karai, Baxter, Ch'rell) then go for it.
