Does this bother anyone? (Spoiler)

I expect them to find some way to bring Splinter back, AGAIN. Death has no real meaning in this show. I hardly shed a tear this time, because well, I seen Splinter get knock off so many times. Hell, they can use April's God like powers and reconstruct Splinter's body like she did with Don and boom, she rises Splinter from the dead.

She brought Don back, I don't see why she cant bring Splinter back.

Personally, I feel that they did that (killing Splinter at the end of season 3) to test the waters with viewers. Now, if the earth being sucked into the black hole didn't happen directly after that, I would've fully expected them NOT to have brought Splinter back. They time-traveled not to only save Splinter, but everyone. Also, Leo pretty much clued Splinter in and even reacted when he saw Shredder about to stab him, hence Splinter's being able to avoid Saki for that timeline where the Triceratons were prevented from setting off the Blackhole generator. Bottom line, I didn't fully expect Splinter to permanently stay dead anyway out of pure logic, even though ideally I wanted him to. Why others 100% expected him to remain dead is beyond me since they were presented with a deus ex machina almost instantly after his death.

This time is different. There's no "rewind" set up. Not sure what's going to happen, but I doubt they'll bring him back given how brutally beaten he was , unless you want a zombie mutant arc. The only way I could see Splinter coming back, is if in spiritual form to one of the turtles (most likely Leo or Mikey) or if they show flashbacks with him.

As for Donnie...come on! Did you actually expect this show to kill off one of the MAIN characters? Leo, Donnie, Raph, and Mikey are our main core characters. A supporting character, I could see bumping off...not a main character. They had to make up some goofy reason to bring Donnie back. I bet killing off a turtle in this show would affect the kiddies more than say Splinter or the other characters because those four are in every single episode.

Edit: Oh, there is a way they could bring him back. At the end of season 5, have Leo wake up from his nightmare. Let's say at the end of season 2, Leo's been in a coma the entire time or even worse, the end of season 1.

Who stabbed H.Y?

Shredder. I'm jokingly saying that everything beyond season 1 or two, was a long nightmare due to a coma.

The show also did an alien invasion at the end of every season so far, (I don't know about the last Season 4 ep yet, don't spoil me), and always have Leonardo do something reckless at the end and nearly get himself killed.

Seems to be a running formula or something.

Just for that you deserve to be spoiled. You're in a thread with "spoiler" in the title.

That aside, that's pretty much what I was thinking when making the bad joke. Leo has a loyal soldier mentality.
