You all argue over such nonsensical things when it comes to this show. Its a cartoon, just enjoy the hell out of it when its good, and less so when it sucks. Shredder is the big bad villain, the logic behind NOT having a taser defeat him is the best way you can go in a show about MUTANT NINJA TURTLES.

As for whether or not Shredder cares about Karai... lets put it this way, when a raccoon gets a loaf of bread he will do what he can to keep it - because doing so feeds him.

Shredder sees Karai as a means to really "feed" his revenge against Hamato Yoshi... she's also the daughter of the woman shredder loved, in his twisted mindset he probably has viewed her as his most precious daughter as if she was his own, BUT his whole purpose at this point is revenge, not caring for his daughter. So yes... the way he cares for her is not good. ITS VERY BAD - BUT that works for his character - it pushes the fact he is a crazed sociopath... and there's nothign wrong with admiring sociopaths when its fiction (cough Dexter cough) Its a show at the end of the day, the things that happen within it, well they don't actually matter unless you allow them to.
