That would make three of us then. Carter is the one I have more of a problem with when rewatching the episodes. I just cannot like him. While Dregg had the elaborate plans and a threat his character was just not as interesting. Perhaps its because Hi-Tech and Mung were not anyone for him to bounce off of or exchange banter with whne he was trying to conquer the planet like Shredder had Krang and vica versa. Removing great characters hurt the two new ones. It was like focus was forced on them and we are more interested in wanting to see say Baxter The Fly's storyline wrapping up or see Berseko enact revenge or see how Rat King would react to Dregg or whatever. Mondo Gecko is their neighbor so just two appearances in 80 or so episodes after he showed up seemed odd. Wrap up Usagi's story and send him home. See this is what I was thinking about and wanting Dregg and Carter to go away. The previous great characters not finishing a storyline or evolving with the story instead of being dismissed is what hurt my desire to see Dregg and Carter. I believe others of you felt similarily.

Dregg wasn't the greatest threat in his first season due to the super mutations and Carter taking the limelight away from Dregg and his threat. They did a great job with the supporting one-shot villains like Sleazebug, Chronos and Doomquest as well as Landor and Merrick. It was much better in Season 10 when Dregg wasn't trying to hide from the charade of being the peoples' alien and trying to defame the Turtles and actually fought more often.

Hi, cammy. In season 10 Mung mentions Dregg's change. his focus shifted from attempting to manipulate another planet into letting him conquer them to wanting the turtles dead and that is all that mattered. Season 10 was better I agree but the Mobster From Dimension X was very boring to me.It would have worked better having Globfather work for Shredder and Krang instead of Dregg and probably in an earlier season. While the last two were good it would have been more fitting to have Shredder trying to work around the fact he was stuck in Dimension X opposed to Dregg since they were both sent back there. Que cera cera I suppose.

Who is Sleazebug? I don't remember him! Chronos and Doomquest were the reasons I liked those two episodes that stick out. It had nothnig to do with the mutations,Dregg, and Carter. Well, with Doomquest it was nice to see someone getting the jump on Dregg just like I wanted to see Shredder do that in the next season so bad.
