Anyway, that was pretty cool, buuuuuuuuuut, am I the only one feeling a little underwhelmed? I mean, yeah, it covered a lot of ground, there was dope action, some interesting reveals (or, well, one at least), but it kinda felt like season 1's finale all over again, except this time it wasn't new, & thus less exciting. There are unresolved issues in New York, are we to expect them to fall to the wayside in season 3? We spent the entire season watching mutants get created, yet not only did so few of them get retribution or healing, they didn't even show up in the end! I was kinda expecting/hoping to see Slash & Mutagen Man aid the turtles in their time of need, for example. Ah, well... I guess these things will get touched upon halfway into the next season? At least we won't half to wait long to see where things pick up. I just dislike the idea of a two part finale that doesn't really end anything, it's just a lead into the upcoming episodes. Would have liked to get some closure on at least one character's plot, rather than there being a host of new problems. But complaints aside I was definitely on the edge of my seat & it was entertaining.
