Remember how Splinter's lack of story was largely blamed for the decision to kill him off permanently? That was not Splinter's fault&mdash;that was the show choosing not to write him into the show more.

Likewise, if season 4 gets even worse and even performs badly, the executives may change their minds, un-approve season 5, and kill the show.

It's a paradox that entertainment executives tend to blame the show for bad performance resulting from the bad decisions they themselves made for it. XD Don't feel bad about the executives. Are you sure that they're gonna make another decision about Splinter's life?
