Idk, I have watched the clip many times and I didn't find Fishface.
Those with Shredder's body are Kavaxas, TC and Rahzar. During the rest of the clip I didn't find FF

Between him perving on April a few episodes ago and his recent ATM joke, Nickelodeon had him cut from season 5.

[CyberCubed]

So you're ready to disavow a 20 episode season in terms of your personal canon that you haven't even seen yet?

[ToTheNines]

Go repeat yourself some more.

[CyberCubed]

I just think it's silly to pretend a show ended before a new season has even aired yet.

[ToTheNines]

I think it's silly that Xever, Bradford, Steranko and Zeck survived.

I'm not "disavowing" anything you ****ing drama queen. I'll watch it as it airs and buy the DVDs (unlike you). But from a narrative standpoint, that's it for me.

Don't tell me how to play with my toys.

Yeah, at least Rahzar.

Finally, a season finale that truly feels like a real finale that could have been the end of the series right there, and considering that Season 5 is being branded similar to a "Tales of the TMNT", it seems like this truly looks more like an epilogue to the first four seasons. Of course, we'll see the surviving characters mentioned above along with some no people, but you just can't drag a series into averaging barely a new episode a month, and reruns don't quite have the power on TV like they used to except for the true classics. It was just so tearful seeing the spirit of Splinter, especially right before Leo's revenge on Shredder.

Show grade: 10/10

[Mini-Turtle]

What made me tear up was Splinter appearing in the final image. Definitely loved the final battle, though I DO wonder why Leo's final blow had to be censored (slice and blood removed from Super Shredder's neck), yet showing Tiger Claw's arm chopped off in "Tales of Tiger Claw" was okay?

Also, why couldn't Karai simply snake herself back to health as she has done previously?

[ToTheNines]

That was just her epidermis she healed last time. This was a broken arm and who knows what else.

Haha, yeah, if I would have to pick one of Shredder's hench mutants as the primary threat to demutate, it would be Tigerclaw. Baxter StockFly would have probably been at the bottom of the list, as he's just as much of a nuisance if not more as a regular human scientist.

I've already seen that (and is it really "leaked"?") but it has nothing to do with him being in the ad for season 5 or not. My comment was specifically about the advertisement, not about season 5 in general.

I guess my eyes were playing tricks on me, my bad. Either way, Rahzar & Fishface are now both confirmed to return.

I never got the sense that Fishface died when they unplugged his hydro-tank. Yeah, I know he's a literal "fish out of water" but he was still close enough to the water to crawl his way back off screen.

But I still thought the scene was mighty cold-hearted for this show. In previous seasons or the Fred Wolf toon, I imagine they would have shown some character tossing him back into the water after he passed out.

Okay! I just wanted to know if I happened to keep blinking every time he showed up or something.

[ToTheNines]

I just mocked this up real quick. Might try to make a better version later.

Spoiler:

[Bauer536]

All I gotta say is, if Season 5 isn't as good (which I doubt), I will accept this as the end. And for what it was, it had a great ending. Who knows? Maybe there will be more that can work. But this felt like a series finale, especially if you count "Requiem" as a Part 1.

Those fight scenes were intense. Personally, I don't want anymore Stockman. He's done. If anything, let's get back to Mutagen Man. But I really liked that sequence with Tiger Claw. He was really cool with those alternate hands. Now that is a Tiger Claw action figure I really want.

Still, their last confrontation with Shredder was heartpounding. I knew Leo would kill him, I just didn't think it would be like this. I'm not saying it was weak, but I wish it was stronger. However, Leo holding Shredder's helmet and saying it's done was effective. The more I think about it, this was a solid finish. For this kind of show, this was a good way to end that.

One last thing: I loved, and I mean really loved, the ending where Leo looks up at the sky and says, "Right, Sensei?", and then the picture freezes with them looking up and Splinter shows up proudly looking down on them. That just made me smile.

[matteso586]

On the way to Shredder's mansion, is it me, or did I see Dr. Cluckingsworth on Casey's stealth bike?

How did April have time to put her hair braids back on while underwater?

I'm hoping that Stockman managed to wake up in time to escape from the burning mansion.

[THGhost]

Only just got round to watching this. I'm surprised Black Nerd Comedy hasn't done his recap video yet.

What a finale!

• Loved the opening.
• I'd very much like to see Karai take on Raph with a broken arm.
• Those black outfits are awesome!
• Fishface! Damn, Nick. You nasty!
• It's about time Baxter became human again. Knew he wouldn't be happy about it though.
• "Michael"?
• Wait, Casey's mask looks familiar...
• Great fight with B&R. "Audi 5,000!"
• I'm liking Tiger Claw's new arm attachments. Playmates will be happy.
• That's right, separate the humans from the turtles.
• "You're not so tough, cheesegrater!"
• Why couldn't the Turtles vs Shredder fight in the 2014 movie be this awesome?
• That's Shredder's head cut off in 3 different versions of TMNT now, if I'm not mistaken!
• Lovely final image.

That'd be fun to see.

More of Alopex too please.

[gibbs615]

So Splinter is REALLY dead this time around?!THIS ISN'T RIGHT!!!
