What caught my attention during the flashback scene was the mention of a baby.

I do love these comic bits. How each episode fades out into a comic-style shot at the end is also great, and looks really nice.

i was kinda put off how splinter is hamato yoshi, not like a rat turning into a bigger rat. its not faithful to the comics, but its not bad either. i mean, the 80's cartoon kicked ass regardless, so its no big deal. also, its a bit more realistic that hamato yoshi is splinter since we can understand he truly is a martial arts master, instead of a rat learning from from hamato yoshi.

Somehow, even in a world with teenage mutant ninja turtles fighting robot aliens, I find a human becoming a rat much more believable than a rat learning kung fu and only later growing into a larger rat.

You think like that because it makes perfect sense. Simple.

strange isn't it? realism in a show featuring mutant turtles and aliens. also its ninjutsu, not kung fu, no offense.

I'm with you there Nick, because a rat would have to be pretty much human-level intelligence to being with to mimic kung fu moves in the first place.

I wanted Splinter to be a rat who became a bigger rat, not a human who became a rat.

I'm sorry, but I always hated the the rat turned into a bigger rat idea. Making him human gives him more motivations, a believable and iconic history with the Shredder, a reason for being a martial art master, and gives him and the turtles reasons for, you know, being human-like. A rat turned into a bigger rat should make Splinter a horror-movie monster, not a ninja master.

Plus, it was pretty obvious from the get-go this would be a "mutant-of-the-week" kind of show, Power Ranger style, so the mutagen turning humans into animal mutants works well.
