* There's something inherently sad about seeing Splinter embrace his inner rat to defeat Shredder. Half a season ago, his turtle sons brought him back by reminding him of his humanity away from rats. And now, in a moment of rage, he embraced the rat just so he could survive.

** Not just that, but what sends Splinter over the edge--what makes him really lose it--is the thought of his children no longer needing him. He's watched his wife die, and lost his daughter, but the idea of losing his sons is what makes him give up hope. And the worst part is, the boys ARE going to grow up. Them not needing Splinter could very well become a reality one day.

*[[spoiler: Watching Karai brutally beat down April was difficult to watch for this troper, especially when the poor girl could barely defend herself against the more experienced kunochi. As it gets further in, you're expecting the turtles to come bursting to the rescue any moment, but they don't. April is completely on her own. Of course, she did get away (having taken advantage of a stunned Karai), but geez...]]
