I know writers like to rotate love interests in TV speed dating, but they do us and Mikey a disservice by only giving him shallow love interest after shallow love interest after shallow love interest all after we already saw early on just how deeply, sincerely, emotionally (and even G-rated-physically) intimate with someone he loves.

But really, if they insist on giving him temporary crushes, they should rotate more between guys and gals (like with Mikey's one-sided man-crush on Chris Bradford), and also avoid the risk of making Mikeyhead look like a joke.

And for the love of sanity everywhere, stop making love interests so easy! Every time two characters appear to fall completely and totally in love in 15 seconds, we all become dumber for witnessing it. Doubly so if it involves a woman with a D-cup and 1% body fat everywhere else; I'm looking at you, Turtles in Time. I mean, at least April never immediately returned Donnie's affections, and we still don't know if Karai has any real interest in Leo. Love is a challenge; make characters earn their happy endings and develop themselves in the process. this is what I'm saying, it's not realistic it's more like you're hot moving on. leatherhead, chris bradford mikey like literally had feelings for them. he never stopped talking about chris bradford even when chris betrayed him he never got over it lol and leatherhead is his boyfriend. it's not formed properly. mona and raph were pathetic, it's not taken properly like raph and slah they have chemsistry. even though leo and karai is kind of confusing, still their bond is strong and it developed. so i hate these love interests out of nowehere and forced
