I would say Raph's and Slash's personal development took a backburner, but Slash himself developed quite a bit. He went from pet, to psycho Raph, to leader of his own team of bad ass mutants! One which is CLEARLY a pastiche to Gibson from Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper force go. If anything its not that he needs more development, just more episodes, because he is awesome and Corey Feldman is a damn national treasure.

Maybe there could've been more bonding between the two, but I honestly saw too much good in season 3 that I overlook what minor qualms there are. Lots of action, great tributes to horror movies, hilarious references to the 87 show(finally the flushomatic gets its comeuppance), and one DOWNER of an ending! Gotta love an ending where the bad guys win.

But also look at it this way, last season their step-sister mutated into a snake, Leo got boarder-line crippled, and the Kraang took over the planet EARTH! Raph has always been a stab first, live in the moment kinda guy, and the bulk of that year was trying to stop a giant ass invasion of cyborg brain squids. And after done with that, they STILL had to take out ol' Shredd-head! And after THAT- TRICERATONS! This philosophy of his also works with him admitting to Mona Lisa that he liked her, he's not the kind of turtle who'd wait 3 seasons to try to woo someone who obviously likes him, he GOES for it. Or SPOILER more rather Mona went for it. Ladies can make the first move, our culture often pretends there's a rule but there is not.

And good for her. I think it would've been more clever if they made April a cat person, in reference to the 1987 show but hey whatevs. I can't wait to read those, but I've promised to get all the classic comics first. I just wish I could find essential book THREE at a comic convention and not have to pay full price, but what can you do?
