Self-explainatory: If you were in charge of the show, how would you do it?

1. I would have April's powers be hinted at in the first episode and have her be of assistance to the turtles in some way. She also meets Splinter in part 2 and asks to be taught by him, which he accepts. We see snippets of this in "turtle temper." "new friend, old enemy" is changed to focus on her and Mikey's friendship and it's hinted he lso has a crush on her.

2. "Monkey Brains" is about the same, except we get a brief, comical moment of Donnie getting jealous when Mikey casually hangs out and has fun with April.

3. Everything else goes about the same until "Karai's Vendetta." April does better against her and Karai doesn't display any ridiculous envy towards April's situation. Her grudge comes only after stress activates April's power and causes her defeat. Also, Mikey gets the credit he deserves in "Parasitica."

4. "Break-out" has Mikey and Donnie getting into a rivalry for April's affections, the former's crush having been hinted at in earlier episodes. They recouncil in the end.

5.The season 1 finale gets a big overhaul as Shredder and the Kraang work together fully, Splinter does aid the turtles and April is much less a damsel in distreess, actively helping in the final battle. We also get Donnie finally accepting that he and April work better as friends while teasing April/Mikey{didn't see that coming, did you?}

More to come, but what does everyone think?
