So, what would you like to see in a potential season 8?

[The Big Bad]

Asumming that it's 26 episodes long.

My list:

1. At least one episode guest-starring one of the Acolytes.
2. One episode focusing on the NYPD, featuring Nobody (in his civilian identity), as well as officers Eastman and Laird--something either in the vein of Tales of the TMNT #36 or, alternatively, one in which the weirness of New York is seen through the eyes of civilians.
3. One episode focusing on individual Purple Dragons
4. The introduction of more individual Foot Members
5. Episodes revealing the fates of at least two of these characters: New York's mayor (Dead?), Ruffington (Dead?), Sydney, Versalia.
6. A four- or five-part episode set in 210_, featuring most of the living Fast Forward cast, and finishing the hanging Darius Dun plotline.
7. Either a sub-plot dealing with April's pregnancy, culminating with Shadow's birth, or a sub-plot dealing with the beginnings of O'Neil Tech. Not both.
8. Midway though the season, Utroms arrive on Earth, placing the series more in line with volume 4, reintroducing Mortu, and introducing Glurin and Prof. Obligado. The resulting change in the status quo would also bring back H.A.T.E. (although not necessarily Skonk) as a recurring villain.
9. No Rat King or Ch'rell.
10. Raph losing an eye.

I may add more later, but that's my list so far. What's yours?

[Spitfire]

Why no Rat King? He was only in one episode.

As far as what I'd like to see Rat King would be one of the characters. I also want to see Leatherhead and Baxter but I know their going to pop up again.

I too would like to see the FF loose ends tied up. The fact they left the whole Darius thing hanging bothers me so I hope they have plans to finish that. The Triceraton Shredder was a kick ass idea and I'd like to see them pull that off some how as well.

[Scandia]

I do not want to see Raphael- or anyone else- get mutilated.

I would like to see Shadow come into this series. She does not have to be Casey's and April's daughter. My idea is that Gabrielle is a single mother- either pregnant or has a baby- and passes away and Casey and April adopt baby Shadow.

[maryshine]

I want to see more character development with Karai (and maybe some Karai/Leo bonding) the rat king, and maybe the future Bishop

[X]

Another Ruffington/Nobody episode.

Another Triceraton/Traximus/Zanramon/Blanque episode.

Another Savanti Romero/Renett episode.

Another Battle Nexus Tournament.

Another Utrom episode.

Another Touch & Go episode.

Another Bishop episode.

Another Rat King episode.

Another Harry episode.

Man I could go on and on. King of Thieves? Angel and her brother? April, Robyn, Auggie? Sid? Toddler Turtles? Yoshi in his years between losing Tang Shen and his death? Ancient One?

Again I will affirm that this show has a lot more to tell, if the writers are good enough, and care enough.

I can think of a few comic adaptions I would love to see, that wouldn't muck with continuity.

The Passing
The Unmentionables
Distractions
The Shell of the Dragon
The River
Complete Carnage and Radical (the only Tales Vol. 1 not yet adapted)
Dreams of Stone
Men of Shadow
Egyptian Adventure
Turtles Take Time
Twilight of the Ring
Juliet's Revenge
Hall of Lost Legends
The Violent Underground
Leatherhead, Too
Masks
Shades of Gray
Splinter/Rat King storyarc from City at War
Intruders and Death Race
Actually, some sort of adaption of Volume 2's overall arc might be interesting.
Seeds of Destruction
Worms of Madness
Scars
Virus
Kaddish
The Quick and the Dead
Loops
A Ghost Story
A (Bull) Wrinkle in Time
Change of Power
Attack of the Replicants
Kung Fu Theater
Splinter Cell
To Serve and Protect
What Wolves Wear
Tales Vol. 2, #40
The Amulet
Temps
The Secret Origins of The Super Turtles
The Decider


And... that's way more than a few @.@

Anyway, they obviously would need more than comic adaptions, so following up on loose ends and continuing sagas would be very welcome. Like maybe go in depth on Touch & Go. Resolve the Fast Forward storyarcs. Who the heck was the man who Bishop was best man for his wedding, and how did he become the beast who he was in "Dragon's Brew"? What is Angel up to? Did Ancient One obtain a nifty Shredder-like armour now that he's one of the Tribunal? Has Sid descended further into evil and is now one of the Foot like he was in Tales? Are Hun and Garbageman really brothers in current continuity?

[VaughnMichael]

More Nobody
The Friggin' Savage Dragon!
Perhaps they get over it already and toss in a damn Archie TMNT Adventures story line.
Complete Carnage already!
More Leatherhead
Fugitoid and Serling meeting
Cha Ocho
Hun behind bars
More Rat King

[Scandia]

Kudos to adapting stories from the comics that would not interfere. And that goes for both Mirage and Archie.

[Drtooth]

Well, among other things, unless they clear it up this season, I wanna see something about Darius trying to kill Cody without the turtles there to protect him...at least it would be an interesting way to tie up stuff leftover from FF.

I also want to see Rat King have at least one more episode. He wasn't used nearly enough.

[Cipher]

• Wrap up the dangling future threats like Darius and the Dark Turtles.
  
• Introduce Shadow (as a baby or young girl).
  
• Introduce foundations for O'Neil Tech or alien arrivals. It's a no-brainer that as soon as the threats were out of the way, Don would want to get working on the terran technology that will allow him and the Turtles to interact with society. That, and I like this aspect of Volume 4.
  
• Introduce Complete Carnage and Radical. Honestly, I'm amazed they haven't been in the show yet. They're both fairly important in the comics.
  
• Introduce Cha Ocho and adapt Tales Vol. 2 # 6 (a personal favorite).
  
• Continue developing Hun's criminal empire.
  
• No more Shredder.
  
• Adapt characters like Armaggon, Bebop, and Rocksteady (not that I'd ever expect it to happen.)

[Ninjinister]

So apparently, there is no Season 8...?

I want to kill someone now.

How the f*** can you cancel a show on the franchise's anniversary?!

If there was an 8th season, I'd say get back to the old ways, but without the whole angsty turtle thing. I'd like to see the Ancheint One again and....

My thoughts exactly

Because of ratings and toy sales?!

But seriously, the show's run for seven seasons already and will end on a conclusive note. That's fantastic in and off itself.

[Ninjinister]

I think we should continue with the topic at hand, in what we want to have in a Season 8. The walls have ears, and if we voice our support for another season, it could have a ripple effect....

At 4Kids headquarters:

"You know, ordering another season of Turtles really wouldn't be profitable."

"Wait, see this? Some people on a message board devoted to Turtles want another season! I never would've believed it. We need to start production right away!"

"Absolutely not."

You can't even make a joke out of that.

Somehow I feel it's on Mirage's end of things. And Playmates.

All I can say is F***it, man! What else does 4Kids have in store? They won't get the next season of Spider-Man... none of the anime studios in Japan wanna do business with them. What have they got to offer now? Some other pointless crap from Russia that looks like the same lame-ass flash animated crap we've seen from all over the world.

I just can't wait for next year when Saturday mornings will be filled with crap like Aqua Kids and more of the same infomercials for reconstituted waffle irons.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some pencils to throw in a wood chipper... Think it's too late to go to Accounting school?

Hey, I didn't say it would be the thing that changes their mind. Besides, do you know how many shows have returned due to fan response? Let's see if we can pull a Family Guy here.

"Fan response" is seeing huge ratings in reruns, like Family Guy did. "Fan response" is positive reviews from all over and a campaign from hundreds of thousands of casual fans.

Fan response is not a hundred people on a message board devoted to the franchise, most of whom are older than the target audience, asking for another season. Although if it assuages anyone, I'll say right now that I would watch a hypothetical eighth season faithfully.

Well excuse me for being the lone optimist.
