You know, this series is kinda pissing me off. For all the love and angst the show played heavily with Raph and Slash, this episode barely had them interacting or acknowledging each other at all. It's one of the things that made Slash most interesting in this series, and it made Raph himself more interesting too. There hasn't been a halfway-good Slash episode since Battle for New York, and even that episode's Slash moments weren't half as good as Slash and Destroy or Newtralized!. The show is utterly wasting him, like they've been wasting Raph for most of the season.

With that said, I observed how Zog started acting when he finally got his breathable air back. (Not enough nitrogen? Really?  The Earth's atmosphere is 78% nitrogen!)  But Zog's betrayal, Raph's personal plea to him, and what was effectively Zog's suicide, had no meaningful drama to them. Even IDW's Raph and Pepperoni had more depth to them than this. And here one of my friends was hoping Raph and Zog would have a Raph/Traximus-style bromance. He's always been a huge Triceraton fan, and somehow I think he's going to find this episode really, really disappointing.
