There are lots of things I'd like to see happen on the show. If they didn't reunite Karai with her father, then Nick would lose a lot of their fans. And I'm pretty sure they don't want that to happen!
 * Finding a real human Irma.
 * Triceratons, please.
 * Good Utroms! The Kraang were evil, but maybe they were just a criminal faction operating illegally in parallel dimensions, like the Utrom Preservi in Mirage.
 * Another of the Foot Clan defecting&mdash;maybe Tiger Claw or Xever, and becoming an anti-hero.
 * Donnie finding true love, and finally resolving the will-they-won't-they with April.
 * Leo finding true love, even if not with Karai. Mirage Leo found his soulmate in Radical, even though he lost her and mourned her for the rest of his centuries-long natural life.
 * Casey meeting his Gabrielle and adopting baby Shadow. 2K12 Casey was already 18 years old when he was introduced (in the same grade as 17-year-old April because he was held back a year), so his character actually could marry someone...or at least adopt a kid.
 * Maybe Gabe not dying this time, especially if Casey and April don't end up together.
 * Raph and Slash having more than just a smile or fist bump, like a hug or a blush or a G-rated kiss or a second "I love you"., and  wrote some fantastic plot coupons the show still isn't cashing. Stop leaving us in suspense!
 * Leatherhead getting his youth back, considering he is shown in his youthful green again in the new opening sequence. (Am I the only one who noticed this?)
 * Mikey and Leatherhead not having a sad ending. If they trip me and my friends' gaydar like a freight train, they're going to be tripping many kids' gaydar too (this is 2015&mdash;kids totally have gaydar), and they should be careful not to treat it like a joke or running gag. And either way, they better handle Renet's introduction properly in context of Mikey's personal life.
 * Splinter having more character development beyond just being a rival, widower, sensei and father. Mirage Splinter lived stranded with the Rat King for two months during a time of great personal crisis. Mirage Splinter was Shadow's primary guardian and caretaker during her teen years. Hell, Mirage Splinter was replaced by a clone at an undetermined point, with the real Splinter living in the Battle Nexus for years. Whatever they do, I wish they would give Splinter more interesting character development than they have. He's cool, but he could be so much cooler.
 * Please resolve the Timothy storyline. He can't be a popsicle in Donnie's lab forever.
 * More lairs! The mileage they're stretching out of their family lair after multiple security breaches is just ridiculous. The Kraang totally know where it is, and they can assault it immediately if they ever successfully return. Shredder is too dangerously genre-savvy not to know its location by now, especially after reprogramming Slash and Rockwell as sleeper agents and having them successfully return to Foot HQ. I mean, yeah, I love the lair (it would be great to build it in Minecraft someday), but maybe it's time for them to find a new permanent home&mdash;perhaps more than one, so they can have safe places to fall back on in case one of them is compromised. There's no point in their being ninja if their bases of operation aren't secret.
 * More mutants that aren't totally gross. The turtles aren't gross, Splinter isn't gross, Leatherhead isn't gross, Tiger Claw isn't gross, and even Fishface has managed not to be gross. But most of the other mutants seem to be permanently slimy/veiny/drippy things, Muckman being the most egregious example. If Raph can be thought of as handsome, certainly other mutants can be too.
 * Would it be too much to ask to involve the Moo Mesa cast sometime? XD They had three canon crossovers in Mirage TMNT alone, because creator Ryan Brown was himself a member of Mirage. Ryan Brown also created the original Leatherhead, Wingnut, Mondo Gecko and Mighty Mutanimals, so his fingerprints are all over TMNT as it is, and it would be cool if Moo Mesa characters also made an appearance in the 2K12 series.
 * Letting the four turtle brothers age past 15 years, so they can be 16, 17, 18, 20, 30, 40 years old, etc. I know that's unlikely if Nickelodeon ends up cancelling the show after four seasons (as they often do), especially considering they're still 15 years old after more than two seasons. I just liked the way Avatar: The Last Airbender started with such a young audience, but it and The Legend of Korra gradually matured along with their audience. Audiences grow up&mdash;that's what they do&mdash;and it would be nice if characters did too.
