Well, the turtles in their original state might've already been the equivalent of a teenager in the Fred Wolf incarnation. I don't think it was a case of them being baby turtles that suddenly became teenage mutants.

Although... it is a mutation... hmm.

I think trying to make sense of the 87 series will give you all a seizure if you think too hard about it.

I always kinda assumed Shredder was trying to destroy him 'socially'. So, "Splinter No More" was a glimpse at how his plan was intended to work.

Well it didn't look like Yoshi had many friends. What with being a hobo living in an otherwise very clean and tidy sewer chamber.

Well he did know that Yoshi was taking care of four pet turtles. So that makes me think that he did know approximately where Yoshi was staying in the sewers.

That's the biggest inconsistency with the OT. Some episodes had Shredder knowing the location of the turtles lair or having the means to easily locate it but most episodes had it as a complete mystery.

Here's another stumper..why didn't Slash mutate into a turtle/warthog hybrid as that's what he was last in contact with?

I guess because Bebop was a humanoid.

How about Lotus disguising herself as a pizza delivery boy and everyone acting like it was cool that someone just walked right into the lair. Donatello even went so far as to suggest they tip her!

Yeah, that was total bs. I can't explain that at all, can't even think of a fake explanation, unless they gave all the pizzerias in town the location of their lair but I doubt that .

No. It's illegal to deliver pizza in the sewers of New York. Safety issue... Duh.

Probably doesn't apply in OT New York... with all the robot meter maids and other weird jazz.

[gobo]

But... That's the point of this discussion! Everthin's gotta be factual & reasonable!

[Kendamu]

They didn't refer to themselves as "baby" turtles in the OT. They referred to themselves as "ordinary turtles." They didn't mutate into teenagers.

[Hermano Dyvas]

I just remembered something else, in season 10 Krang hypnotises one of Dregg's underlings. Why did he never use that ability in any of the previous seasons... or did he?

I always assumed the turtles mutated into children, not teenagers in the 80's cartoon. I think it took a reasonable amount of years for turtles to grow up into teenagers. Plus I remember the turtles mentioning the passage of time (years) before they met April.

animation error maybe?

I mean one thing I noticed about the 80's toon is that they invite people down into the lair pretty regularly after knowing them for only like a day or so.
