What if these turtles and co. die stopping the  Triceratons and the show switches back to the turtles who are still on Earth and it's as if nothing ever happened. Not gonna lie...that would be interesting. That would be like, first season of Bravest Warriors level interesting! I don't expect it to happen, but it would add a level of coolness that I can't express. I keep fearing something like that will happen near the end of the season but I really hope it doesn't. It will basically mean that everything they did in space, all of their new space weapons and tech, all of the potential new recurring villains, all of the new friends and allies they made will have meant nothing and this whole season will be pointless. I mean, not pointless in a moral sense, but MASSIVELY pointless in a character development sense. I really REALLY hope that doesn't happen. Please Ciro and Brandon, do the right thing. Good point. Maybe instead of the space-turtles dying it goes more like this - the space-turtles and the earth-turtles team up to fight the Triceratons and the turtles who haven't gone through the whole Space Arc die in the fight instead of the space-turtles. That'd cause so many problems with time, but it's TMNT so they could probably just ignore all the science that says that would make the universe blow up and have it happen anyways, lol.

In any case, SOMETHING has to happen because otherwise there would be two sets of turtles running around.

Another possibility is that when they went back in time they replaced their past selves, and so although they remember living in North Hampton and reclaiming NYC, the past six months never technically happened. After they save Earth, they'd go back only to find a dystopian-type city where the Shredder and the Kraang still rule. In this scenario, the character development is still there even though some of the events never occured.
