I doubt he's dead.

If he is, I'm good with it though. It would eliminate an obvious comic book character (the obvious silliness of the comic-book style has been an underlying annoyance to me in this series).

I mean seriously, nevermind the mullets and flaming-red flat tops - both of which scream comic book queerness. No, I'm talking about the crossbow guy, the bow staff guy, the samurai sword gal... Come the fuck on. They're one short of the Ninja Turtles, practically!

Anyway, I get irritated when I'm reminded that this show (which is enjoyable if you can overlook some things) was written by a comic book dork who followed the time-tested comic book rule that characters must be so unique that they couldn't possibly all exist in the same space.

Anyway, that's my rant. Carry on.
