Shredder is, strictly speaking, their father's enemy. As Splinter's sons, his "sins" are visited on the next generation. Kraang and Triceratons are threats on a universal scale. In fact, once this arc wraps up, the writers will be hard-presssed to come up with something that doesn't feel anticlimactic. I'd like to see an adaptation of "City at War " with Karai in Splinter's place, being rescued from the sewer drains and nursed back to health by the demented, unscrupulous Rat King. How funny, I was thinking the same thing except Tiger Claw would be in the Rat King's place. I also have imagined that Splinter does find out about the alternate timeline (AKA "Annihilation Earth II" where he DID get killed) and becomes so embittered and vengeful towards Saki; you know, what with all that was on the line at the time, that he does end up becoming quite a lot like him--thus setting up a redemption story line for Tiger Claw.

Of course, with my luck at predictions on this show, you're better off discarding this.
