He was definitely homicidal and would've killed Shredder if it hadn't have been for Raph and Leo butting in and stuff. That was pretty dark as far as the OT series went.

I also love that classic TV logic that the cure for a massive electric shock is another massive electric shock, lol.

And I love how as the Dark Turtle, Donny gained a muscular humanoid body while wearing his costume

And how Donny said he's "sick of stupid masks"...but apparently he wasn't that sick of them because he was wearing one under the Dark Turtle mask.

Anywho, even though this is one of my all-time favorite eps and feel that it's definitely one of the best eps of the entire series, I did have one major problem with the ep...Shredder. When going up against Donny as the Dark Turtle, Shredder didn't even put up much of a fight. Seemed out of character, along with his needing gangsters to get past the out-of-shape security guards at that lab. As a "ninja", he should've been able to take all of them out and get inside or use his "ninja skill and cunning" to just sneak in.

Maybe he realized he looked like a Battletoad without it.

Yeah I think that was just a time management issue. He got sacrificed to the Triceratons plot.

Lol, yeah good call, Don.

It's a toss up between Night of the Dark Turtle and Legend of Koji. I went with the former as it got less votes and it wowed me as a kid when I first saw it as someone who was getting bored of TMNT.

for me it's a toss up between the legend of Koji and Revenge of the Fly. I picked the former because the guys looked great in those outfits

I went with the Dirk Savage episode. I just love all the recurring characters like Mondo Gecko and the Punk Frogs, plus we even got an animated version of Tokka and Rahzar! Pity they didn't use Mona Lisa for this ep though.

I have a soft spot for the star child. probably because quartz has the same voice as Buttercup from the PPG and Tommy from RR. I don't know why but I enjoy seeing the turtles having to interact with children. 80's Raphael obviously does not have the same patients for children everyone else has.

I question Zack's appearance and Tempestra's inclusion but aside from that its my favorite overall episode. Villain team vs TMNT and a vengeful Shredder what else could a TMNT fan ask for?

This season had the best overall episode set. All-star characters and great plots with action and fun with a bit of a dark overtone.Best season of the best show and yes that is including the European Vacation.

Maybe it was some comic book irony or hypocrisy that Wise was engaging in?

Choosing a favorite from this season is incredibly difficult, as visually, I got to go with Dark Turtle -- Batman parody, a nice spotlight of Don and the Triceratons. The Triceratons were handled well, especially with their honor code (not wanting to attack fellow reptiles). Clearly, they deserved their own separate episode rather than be shoe-horned in, elsewhere. What was done however, I can't complain.

Same with "Rogues," as it could only be done later in the series, when the Turtles have enough of a separate rogue's gallery beyond Krang/Shredder. I'd rank it higher, except for the ending, as it was too rushed. Same with "Revenge of the Fly" and "The Starchild" for different reasons. (The former having to do with status quo of Baxter being a mutant and the latter having to do with "how did Splinter get an accurate costume of Quark's father?")

Story-wise, it would be "Koji" for Shredder handling matters all by himself (and doing a good job) and finally getting the Oroku surname right among other things. Plus, the episode's beginning for the dub parody. Cam Clarke must have been amused, as per his anime work.

I don't want to ignore the others, yet it's hard to choose. It's one of the good kind of dilemmas that I wish I would have more often with a season.

the Star Child! I love them all but who can resist a episode with Tommy Pickles as a flying alien child!

For some odd reason this episode reminded me of Lone Raph and Cub from the 2k3 series. It think it was the way Raphael interacted with Quartz.
