Best Donatello episode of season five?

Season five was a much shorter season compared to the larger season four season. As a result I think the animation was of better quality and there less less stupid mistakes like turtles being colored wrong or turtles speaking with the wrong voice. But not so big on action or on going story arcs.

But one of season fives saving graces was its character centric episodes that focused on one turtle of the turtles. Even though this season didn'thave as many character centric episodes in it due to its shorter length each turtle got about two or three character centric seasons. Donatello in this season got two episodes dedicated to him. So people same drill as the season four "best turtle episode" thread. Which of these two episodes about Donatello in this season showed him in his best light, or portrayed him at top form, or even which one was more entertaineing involving are favorite turtle in purple?

I have to cast my vote for Don's duplicate. It was an amazing episode but it was entertaining. We get to see the turtle's fight their superior clones which was way cool. But perhaps I must vote for Don's duplicate as a default choice since Don's Bad Time was so horrible. About 5 mins into don's bad time I wanted to skip the whole ep. Hillbillies? Not my forte

Donatello's Duplicate was the best one. I actually thought that one was funny plus it had Rat King in it.

Duplicate was cool. I liked seeing how cocky Don would be if he actually were smarter. And the Rat king was there!

"Donatello's Duplicate" is more Donatello-ish. It shows more of Donatello's special skills that make him the brains of the bunch. "Donatello's Badd Time" was not awful, though.

Don acted kind of stupid in Don's bad time. Why would he not just ask his brothers for help in finding the van instead of trying to find it himself? The turtles usually do everything together and that was interesting that we got to see that Don cares about what his brothers think of him. He didn't want them to know he let the van get jacked.

Donatello's Duplicate. I find Donatello's Badd Time to be a very stupid episode if you ask me.

I liked Donatello's Duplicate the best because it was the closest to to giveing us a "evil Donatello" other than season sevens "Night of the Dark Turtle" episode. I think this episode showed just how potenticially dangerous Donatello could be if he ever became as egotistical as his clone was, and as deadly. I enjoyed Donatello finnally getting fed up with the way al the turtles take advantage of him and expect him to fix everything as well as come up with all the plans. SO I thought it was a nice [ay aff to see the other turtles get their asses handed to them by Donatello's "take no Sh*t" clone. Although I thougt the ending was a serious cop out. UGH. The episode spent the entire time establishing how much more advanced and intelligent Dontello's clone was that I thought it was inexcussiable to have him tricked so easily into destroying himself.

As for the Redneck episode. It was a guilty pleasure for me but then I find the whole unsophisticated Redneck vz. city folk very amusing. LOL And actually I thought Donatello's delima was cute. He was so embarrassed he wanted to solve every thing himself so he could save face.And i thought it was a nice twist that the other turtles where so undicided on whether or not Donatello was actually behind all the thefts.

I really wish that the show down between the turtles and their so-called superior clones could have been longer. I think the whole evil twin, though cliche, theme is a very good one because it gives the characters a chance to look at them selves if theyy where evil.

But am I the only one that thinks that Dontello's evil clone should have been kept around as a villan in the show? Think of the possiablities of a evil Dontello that is as even smarter and more skilled than all the turtle combined as a major bad guy in the show. I think it would have gotten some quality episodes out of it.
