I was worried this would be a b story episode - and sure enough, It was... atleast it felt like one, despite it being tied to the Shredder brainwash storyline... I honestly just wasn't impressed... will watch again later, I was tired, so maybe the episode needs another chance... but I remember thinking, gee, this is so predictable and we've seen this storyline so many times now - the misunderstanding, the weak motivation behind Muckman's character... The show needs to deliver like it was for a while this season, we've sat through enough lackluster/weak episodes in my opinion... I agree, the only thing that seems to have been added to the storyline is the fact that we now know Shredder plans to use the serum on Karai. The sad thing is, WE KNEW THAT already lol... Sigh... It really didn't feel like a high calibur episode... It feels like the show has been toned down/ lost touch with what it used to be... the compelling story just doesn't feel there anymore... Season 3 feels like its starting to crawl again, despite the last couple of episodes really bringing it to new places... Even the Kraang thing was wrapped up quickly, which is fine, IF they had something more succulent/juicey for us in terms of a new plot... but it feels like this latest episode and the ones to come will just be circling the drain of this new storyline, and prolonging it until a better plot is revealed... season 3 really doesnt feel like it was well planned out I guess is what I'm trying to say. Actually, I saw the preview for next week's episode and it's gonna be the one where Raph gets mind controlled, so we know that one will go back to the Karai storyline.
