What will the new show in season four be?

I thought it was just a few episodes. I'm fearing the Hamptons all over again.

In that case, I would love it if they find an alien show and have no idea what's going on.

Well...it's only like North Hampton in regarding in they in a new location.
I can't say too much on the next storyline of season 4 because...well spoilers but my best bet that it will be a similar situation with Avatar: The Last Airbender with the turtles having to travel multiply locations from different planets or regions instead of being tied alone on a spaceship.

But doing that would be really ambiguous and expensive for the nick crew so it will probably be a mixture of adventure and some bottle episodes on the space ship.

A "bottle episode" is designed to take up as little money as possible. The easiest way to go about this is to use only the regular cast (or even just part of the regular cast) and set it in a single location, especially if you have a main standing set. This keeps production costs down, because no one needs to scout locations, build new sets, or create fancy CGI graphics of the outside of the spaceship. Bottle episodes are often a chance for a slow, characterization-filled episode before/after a big special-effects-laden action episode. Of course, all this doesn't mean the episode will be cheap, just that it's meant to be; like any regular episode, unforeseen complications can cause the show to run over the scheduled budget.

And if there is a show that's a master at bottle episodes, it's Star Trek and knowing how they feel about Star Trek, some storylines are going to be straight out of a Gene Roddenberry's script or maybe Russell T Davies's since they got David Tennant.

I just hope they learn their mistakes in trying to not dodge the freaking the plot for 10 something episodes especially after a really plot heavy and devastating event in the season third finale.

They'll be with the Fugitoid, right? Maybe the Fugitoid can get some alien tv show or something. I don't know who it was that mentioned it, but maybe they'll end up watching an intergalactic wrestling type show (80s WWF stule) which would cater most to Raph. It'll also be a nice nod to the Archie series...but I couldn't see that happening since I couldn't see them being able to make up stories for that that can reflect to whatever the themed episode is.

Maybe they can do a Lost in Space-like show. There was plans for a cartoon back in the early 70s, but they only had like one episode... It's obscure, but it could apply...

I'm wondering if I should go looking for this plot heavy and devastating event before the episodes air. I don't like to be shocked by shows anymore. I need some time to absorb it before I see it. I had no prep time for what happened in IDW and man, that was tough. I read it right before bed and I stayed up most of the night just trying to breathe over what happened.

why not a parody of Scooby Doo?

[Allio]

hoping for Kamen Rider

or do that Ultraman esque show from season 1

Well, they haven't done a crime detective show. Maybe a Dick Tracy/Inspector Gadget homage is in the future?
