I recently re-watched this arc and I have to say.... I truly felt as if I was watching a Mad Max fanfiction/fan video, with an attempt to stuff the TMNT in there (emphasis on "attempt"). It did not feel like a TMNT episode. I actually felt better about the arc because it felt so disconnected from the actual series (especially after re-watching scenes from episodes set in the main canon timeline). There is no way that this fits into the canon storyline. For me it only works as some sort of alternate reality or perhaps a dream/vision (or as somebody jokingly suggested, maybe Raph wrote a Mad Max fanfiction starring himself!)  If somebody wants to see this as the "true" ending, that's their business. I won't judge you or tell you that you can't. Just don't try to make the rest of us accept it as such.

But my assertion remains clear as it is straightforward: whether it's official (which as I said I lean towards & probably always will) or not, it's not that simple. And that's all I'm trying to say. Hmmm... actually, I would say that the massive continuity errors are pretty straightforward. It simply does not fit into the canon storyline. It only becomes complicated if you believe that  Ciro Nieli's "vision" should take precedence, despite the poorly constructed story (definitely below his ability and the abilities of the other writers). If Ciro wanted his preferred ending to be official, then he should have:  1)  constructed a good story that made sense and 2) avoided massive continuity errors. Nickelodeon did the right thing ( I can't believe I'm agreeing with Nick on something!)
