You call it lazy I call it a bold move to to create in contrast to the overall feeling of the show, leaving the viewer stunned. I didn't see much plot holes in it for what it was presented. And the thing about time traveling is that pretty much anything about the future can change in one minute. That's the reason why so many franchises are afraid of time traveling, including JK Rowling who counted the time travel arc as one of her biggest mistakes in Harry Potter. Pretty much all time-travel movies/series make fun of how unpredictable it can become. According to time travel rules someone can tell me that I'll become a famous author in the future then I take one wrong class at university and everything has already changed. The arcs obviously take place with some time between them so it's up to the viewer to speculate what happend in the time between them and how time was changed. The whole stuff with Leo and the turtles seperated is actually quite a popular trope and one of the reasons why I thought the ending was so unpredictible, we don't see the 4 turtles together fighting of some kind of new threat (like probably everybody would expect) but instead it's more about family reunion and a threat within. About strong female characters: Sometimes it's just quality over quantity if that means that there is no place for the strong female characters then it wouldn't be a wise move to put them in the story just for the sake of them making an appearence. I actually like the fact that it really is about the 4 turtles and their story and not an attempt to force every character into the story, which once again makes it unique.
