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, those six months leading up the the destruction of Earth that they remember 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 and the turtles have disappeared for six months. In this scenario, the character development is still there even though some of the events never occured. Aquamarine1212, those are GREAT ideas and make total sense. Your second possibilty kind of reminds me of Starfire in the episode "How long is forever?" when she went into the future and saw all of her teammatess' future selves. But where was hers? Replaced I guess, or dead, but I HIGHLY doubt Starfire is dying before any of the Titans, aside from Raven of course for obvious reasons. I would much prefer either of those resolutions over the space turtles dying and the whole "it never happened" plotline. Plus, they've been using that resolution a bit too frequently lately if you ask me. Twice in three episodes? Come on writers, that's just lazy. Thanks! :) For the second idea, it'd be a pretty easy way to have a new plotline when the Space Arc is done. After all, what would Earth be like if the turtles had just disappeared for six months? Would Splinter still be running around in the sewers? What about Karai? Perhaps the extra time would lead to other mutant groups rising up against the Kraang. Looking back on the episodes, there'd probably only be a few issues with this theory. (mutanimals being one of them) Maybe the Mutanimals could be the group that rose up to try and fight the Kraang in this alternate timeline. The only other stuff I can think of that would be 'missing' in this universe would be meeting Mondo Gecko and Muckman, a few failed hunts for serpent Karai, and some brawls with weird mutants, none of will really affect things much.

As for Renet, I'm going to say that since those two episodes took place in the past, and Renet is a time traveller, the events that occured in those two episodes are aren't affected.

Which reminds me about how Renet mentioned the turtles were famous. Maybe at the end of the Space Arc they'll become well-known heroes throughout the galaxy. That would actually be funny, if they're crowned heroes in space (I'm getting an image of the ceremony from "A New Hope" except with the turtles XD) and they become famous, then they return to Earth where nobody even has a clue that they were ever in any danger of being destroyed. The "heroes of the galaxy" have to go back to hiding in the sewers. Heh heh, yeah. Going back to hiding in the sewers is a pretty predictable but that's probably what's going to happen, which is acceptable I guess. I always kind of looked forward to seeing the turtles being recognized and honored as great heroes, but especially if it's on earth. And they use higher tech weapons kind of like what they're using now, and they could walk the streets being not only accepted, but beloved by the general public. But eh, maybe I'm just reaching, but I'd still love to see that. Also, as much as I complain about how I grow tired of the Karai arc, I still would like to see her again after this space arc (which will most likely be my favorite season of this show). But only if she is given SIGNIFICANT character development to make up the barrage of filler episodes that they've thrown at us over the second and third season. No more kidnapping, no more brain worming, no more never ending failed searches! Karai needs to find her family and actually make up her mind on wether she wants to become an ally, a villain, or a lone wolf (i think the second one is least likely). But yeah, it would be really cool to see what happend after the turtles' six month absense if the writers go that route. If anything, it possible we might see the debut of some Archie mutanimal members like, Dreadmon, Jagwar, Ray Fillet, and Merdude.
