This is my twelfth favorite episode of the show, this is another fun one as it's pretty much a parody on the film "A Clockwork Orange". I really love how the episode plays with the concept of the mind from mind control to persona change.
We see Michelangelo go thought the mind control as unfortunately his love for pizza turns into a addiction when he eats everyone's Pizzas, how the heck he can stomach that much is beyond me but all the same it's pretty bad. It's both surreal and funny seeing him say the words "I crave Pizza no more."
However it's really "Shredder" that steels the show in this episode hence the title, James Avery really got the Michelangelo persona to a tee, it's a bit of a parody on the character Michelangelo as Shredder is playing a slight but not entirely inaccurate portrayal on Mikey's persona, it's funny because it's kind of true like how Pizza is on Mikey's mind almost 24.7.
In a way Krang's plan which was actually suppose to be one thing is accidently exchanged for a plan that is daft but actually better if the bad guys got a better handle let alone brains it was Bebop and Rocksteady that caused the accident to utilize it; as Shredder in the Mikey persona did find the Turtle's lair. I can't help but think what would of happened if they got any of the other Turtles personas, like Bebop and Rocksteady having Donatello and Leo's personas man that would have been something let alone both having brains for once.
Another funny thing is whenever the Turtles or anyone else says one of two key names either Shredder or Michelangelo; Shredder just switches personas like a light switch. This of course comes in handy latter on.
So Cowabunga Michelangelo and Shredder.
