Though for the time being everything else seems to be on hold until he finds and kills Yoshi. He's not even working on side-projects. He's just sitting and waiting for results. Like Karai says, dude needs a hobby.

They also just lost the Power Cell they got from Leatherhead.

so you're saying that the situation in new york (in the foot's case) and the world/dimension (in the kraang's case) wouldn't be TOTALLY different if the turtles hadn't been there to foil the plots and schemes they have in the 16 eps shown so far?

unless casey or the pulverizer would have fortuitously put the kibosh on some of them, then things would be far different and pretty much worse. without the turtles interference, for all we know, the kraang's plan might have already gone off.

its kinda obvious if you think about it...

^Like I said, the only significant event that they have had a part in was rescuing April (whom may become be bigger part than we realize just yet) - the other skirmishes were merely set-backs to the respective parties. Their objectives would have been accomplished in a shorter time-frame without the turtles.

Now, having recently lost the power cell to the kraang, they have directly altered the course of events. The results of this have yet to be seen.

I took that statement more as Splinter taking the near loss of life of his surrogate sons very personally, having lost his wife/daughter/life to Saki in the past. Remember how hard he was training the Turtles soon after?

Sticking to the topic at hand, I chalk it up to the Turtles being kids and this season is their first foray into the surface world. They're going to mess up, a lot, but as the series continues they'll grow into themselves as "warriors of right".

I'm sure as time goes on the Nick Turtles will save the world. The original toon Turtles saved the world in almost every episode due to Krang's world changing schemes, and the 4kids Turtles saved the world from Ch'rell and the Triceraton invasion.

I'm sure as the Kraang takeover goes more extreme, the Turtles will be forced to save the planet.
