I honestly don't want Splinter back. I like the series incarnation of him, but his death to me is one of the biggest killjoys I've seen in the show. A show that can follow up on plotlines such as Timothy and Karai; instead, focusing on shock value instead of writing a good narrative. Considering he barely did anything in season 3 in comparison to season 2 leading into The Invasion, his death is useless. First time or not, it'll be undone; it won't take away from being the first time Splinter dies in a main TMNT universe (barring Mirage Volume 4 and Same As It Never Was which don't count for proper reasons). Even though well timed with the countdown, it's a disappointing blow to outdo The Invasion.
