Yeah the finale was quite dark and I liked the homages to the comic. I grew up with the 2003 show and the 1987 show but I much preferred 2003 with its darker tone. I still have the toy of 2003 Shredder somewhere in the house. The 2012 version is quite different but that can be a good thing. Certain aspects are similar but I love watching any version of the turtles to be honest. They still have the same distinct personalities and I love watching them interact and play off each other.

I grew up with the 1987 and 2003 series as well. I preferred 2003 too because it had better characterisation and story arcs and was based on the original comic. The 2012 series is starting to grow on me, but I still prefer the first two turtles cartoons. I think 2003 is still the best. I've never read Mirage, so a lot of the homages in the finale probably went over my head. One scene reminded me of the 2003 episode The Shredder Strikes Back.
