So are all the mutants present at the race working for Shredder?? I thought the race thing was kind of lame... I would have liked it if Xever told the racers (which should have been, Casey, Mikey and Jones - and then one random mutant) that the winner is the one who will survive and the losers will die - creating tension between Mondo and the others - because he doesn't want to die, have him be apologetic about it, like "I'm sorry guys... but I need to win this race" -- then bam - have the whole lesson about friends not leaving friends... Though, there was the part where Casey got left behind in the episode, where I was thinking... ook... so they left Casey behind, so much for that whole lesson they were trying to showcase... Then all of a sudden he was okay? I didn't like that very much... Also, how did they see the end of the race, when they were far away and had to go around a turn to reach it... it didn't make sense. The episode felt campy and childish when we got to the climax being a silly "deathrace"... I dunno, my brother came into my room while I was watching it and was like "This is ninja turtles? This looks so lame and stupid" to which, I couldn't exactly argue... I liked everything in this episode up until that lame race storyline that came out of nowhere... Its like when a villain catches a hero only to allow him an oppurtunity to escape. Yet another episode that felt like it was pandering to the younger audiences and not delivering a solid story even older viewers (like myself) could really enjoy. Like I said, the race bit felt so campy and lame... I would have liked it if Mr X wasn't fishface and the racers were, as I said before, Mondo, Mikey, Jones and a random mutant and they were racing to be first as to not die -- then you could have had Mikey, Mondo and Jones overcome this obstacle and beat Mr X - stopping him and his races. Because all the villains just walk out at the end, like, oh the turtles, Shredder's enemy, the guys we are constantly saying we want to crush are gathered here.... ah well... the race is over, let's just let them go. I thought it was weak.
