How many times have you rewatched through the series? - Page 3

Some of the pacing problems I had with certain arcs no longer matter now that you can watch it all in one sitting. Notes in the Underground and Turtles in Space in particular flow much better when you watch them together.

I still wish Season 5 got a full 26 episodes. In that gap between the tribunal stuff and the climax where "Membership drive" and the third Garbageman ep were, I feel like they could have slotted in another 10-12 episodes in there, tying up more loose ends like Rat King and Leatherhead.

Maybe even adapt some more comic stuff that they didn't get to.

I read on here or someone told me or I read on Peter's blog that originally Ninja Tribunal was going to be a standard size season with more episodes tagged on that had each of the guys having adventures and training with the human Acolyte they had become friends with. With the exception of Adam and maybe Tora at times I wasn't too interested in the characters so I didn't feel like we missed much

Are we sure? I mean all 13 episodes were already scripted, just not fully animated before they skipped ahead to Fast Forward.

If it was supposed to be 26 episodes they changed their minds before going into production, because there are no other episode titles or missing episode numbers from that point.

Although I do wish it had been a full season. Another 13 eps would have surely fleshed out the human acolytes (assuming they didn't "die" when they did), and given us some more standalone episodes about Rat King or whatever else.

I wish I could recall where I saw/read this but I do think it was cut before the production stage even started. I just remember thinking I was glad it stayed at 13 episodes then if that is what they decided to leave out. Because frankly I didn't find the human acolytes that interesting and would have been annoyed at the time taken away from the Turtles honestly. But if more had been going to be done it would have made more sense why the human acolytes are there, considering how pointless they seem in the 13 episode arch.

Well like the Membership drive episode, I don't think the eps inbetween would be all about them. It seems that ep and the intended Hun/Garbageman ep were there to be a "breather" inbetween the Demon Shredder story.

I am certain we would have gotten another Rat King episode in the least if it had been longer. Would have been the perfect time to do the usual Splinter/Rat King story that every series has at some point.

I also find it kind of strange how absent Leatherhead was overall. He's not included in the finale against the Demon Shredder at all when they included almost everyone else...like all the other villains and heroes.

In fact after Season 4 I don't think Leatherhead even appears again till his cameo in Season 7's last episode during April/Casey's wedding.
