Do you think the next turtle crossover should be at least 8 episodes

I personally am a HUGE fan of crossovers....if they're done well. That is where Turtles Forever failed in my book. While it was not horrible, I can certainly enjoy it, it did not do as well as I felt it could have. They did have an interesting plot point and lots of interactions got lost that would have been neat to see but I can see why they paced it like they did.

Now, as for this forthcoming crossover, I am inclined to go with an unspoken rules of old cartoons. If you have a long story to tell, or a detailed one, rather than cramming it into one or two episodes, make 2 two parters. I think 8 episodes is too long but a 3-4 parter, I can see that working. I actually hope they don't go for the "it's a dream" explanation or the "breaking the 4th wall dimension" for the dimensional hopping because that is very stereotypical way to erase information or explain why only one person is effected, etc and I find it pretty lazy to be perfectly frank. Especially given the universe of turtles, there are all kinds of magical and scientific explanation they can use that would make a lot more sense.
