In terms of how the 2012 TV series used to be good, I'd say the best stories were episodes like The Alien Agenda, Karai's Vendetta and Slash and Destroy, with plenty of great moments in other episodes as well. They had a dose of the ordinary, a dose of the funny ("Look, Leo, not the Kraang are on our side!"), a dose of the uncomfortable ("Turtle soup." "...Karai."), some crucible moments (pretty much all of Slash and Destroy), and some good family moments (Splinter comforting Raphael after Slash's loss). Happy endings were never delivered on a silver platter, nor were the endings always necessarily happy. But life isn't all saccharine desserts&mdash;life is mostly nutritious food, and I like TMNT that satisfies the adult palate for drama. And, in the words of, "Life at best is bitter sweet."
