Official Episode Discussion S2 Finale: The Invasion

The episode had it's surprises (Irma, EPF), exciting fight scenes, and I was loving the 2k3 vibes, but on the other hand it was too similar to the season 1 finale- with the Kraang invasion and the "boss fight" of Splinter vs Shredder and Kirby mutated again. Also, as in the last season finale, it seemed Donnie and Mikey's roles were smaller compared to other characters and other episodes, but maybe that's me.

Raph had a good showing in this episode, some character development other than "raph has anger issues", which was nice for a change.

Unsure why Leo would go off solo to fight the Shredder instead of meeting up with his bro's during an alien invasion, but when he was sliding down that construction site's slope it reminded me of the last fight scene in Star Wars Episode III. But Leo going off solo led to a cool fight sequence, so worked out ;P

I don't think if Donnie had listened to Leo that it would have stopped the invasion- arg, I dislike when the show's writers lay him with a major guilt trip. Maybe Leo should have learned the lesson he was meant to in "metalhead rewired" and trust Donnie.

So excited for the tiny prospect of Bishop! He was the bad guy I loved to hate in 2k3. Prob won't happen in this show (as my dream of don x irma and thus a jealous april won't happen), but it's nice to hope.
