I'm sorry if I come across as a crying baby to you but trust me when I say that Splinter has a huge spot in my heart because he is the father figure that I've always wanted but unfortunatly am never going to get. I know he's just a cartoon but like I said, he's always been very close to my heart so when something like this happens to him, I kind of break down. I know that we all THINK (only capitalized since we can't underline) and hope of course, that they will save him and Miwa. But one of my other favorite shows has shown that just because you want something to happen, it doesn't always. Ever heard of/seen Once Upon A Time on ABC? I know that there aren't as gruesome scenes as there are in Once but ever since the old writers left, this show has been slowly starting to become a turtle version of the other. And yes, they always kill off (permenantly) my favorites on that show too. Look...let's make a deal. I'll try to be less aggressive with my voicing my opinion, if you please don't call me a kid again. I know I might not seem it based on how I've worded my opinions, but I'm actually twenty so yes, I know how to act.

And actually other than when someone died, I LOVED that episode (Annhilation Earth) especially the rare time we actually got to see Splinter and Shredder fighting along side each other (even though it was probably just so that Shredder could get the right moment). So yes, I did like it very much. Did you have a favorite scene? All right, you've made your case. If you are more rational in your posts, you've got a deal. As for "OUAT", I never bothered with that show. It just didn't look like a show I could get behind nor take seriously.

My favorite scene from "AE", you can also read about it in that thread I made, was what I refer to as "The Rapture". I like most of Leatherhead's scenes as well as some really interesting things in the battle at Central Park but the rapture I thought was just so beautifully done despite the dread you felt coming up for the supporting characters. Everyone ascending reminded me of a possible rapture and the Triceratons came across like the old Greek gods gathered around together (like in some of those old paintings) and celebrating the destruction/rapture of us mere mortals from afar--how they animated the crumbling of the Earth into the black hole was also pretty unforgettable. I can't help but sometimes play the title theme from the first season of "The Leftovers" while the whole thing plays out, not only b/c it matches it well but the opening credits themselves are very reminiscent of what's going on in that episode.
