This could fall victim to "try something new, but end up making it worse". I'm going to check out some further reviews just to see if the Chief's absence was that big of an issue to others.

Well a game is a game. But RTS isn't something I'll be pouring a lot of my time into. I think I mentioned I had checked out some Halo novels before, which I did quite enjoy, and served as more of an extra to the game. Not too surprised, Halo Wars may be different, but from what I've seen it works.

Yeah, no. If he thinks that's character development, he clearly has a misunderstanding of the term. Even though all that baloney did technically give an irrelevant character some "purpose", the cost it came at was completely destroying an existing character. If you hadn't know, could you imagine that green-skinned golum is the same character as toque-wearing home-school from TDI? I think not. Total Drama does seem to like introducing those really random "out-there" characters for random cameos: Sasquatchanakwa, Mr. Coconut, Drama Machine, Fang, Scuba Bear .etc - But what draws the line for Zeke is they had to completely desecrate an existing character to achieve that. The gag wasn't too bad at first when they were just playing Where's Waldo, but past "I See London ..." where he loses his humanity was where it went too far. I'm surprised that Peter Oldring has no problem in playing him and even returned to voice him in TDAS.

It's like Duncan suddenly sucked up Alejandro's charm and Gwen was powerless to resist. I can't think of any better explanation as to Gwen's abrupt attraction towards him. Well they tried to appease the fanbase with their fan-preferred couple, and the result was very poor. So they should just drop it entirely. I can't see that relationship ever being revived given it's horrid history. Gwen's love-life has been screwed over enough, and she's much better flying solo.

Holy crap, is he freaking kidding me?! Firstly, Alejandro not having any obstacles was what caused a good half of the fanbase to have a problem with him. Secondly, even if that's the case there are much better, non-damaging ways of "clearing the path" for them. I just can't understand the point of getting rid of Duncan early on, just to have him return. As well as the fact the sole reason for his return, was to set up that triangle and he had almost no other purpose (other than replacing Noah as Owen's friend and Al's biggest threat). Plus, the biggest blunder they made was tossing out two of the most popular characters of the season, Noah and Tyler, in order to have Duncan advance further. It's like he was just there to advertise he's a creator's pet and a screenhog.

Not really a fool's fantasy, considering that was the logical expectation from everyone. With Sierra, like many characters, they just didn't know what to do with them. Most of them were given very silly plots in order to force a purpose for them lasting long. That whole Camody nonsense was pretty much Cameron's only purpose in the season prior to Sierra getting eliminated. Indication that zero planning was put into what they were actually going to do with their characters.

Oh wow, that bad? I didn't realize you were in that deep trouble. In that case, happy to have been there to help you through. And rest assured, you're definitely not that disliked (if at all), these days. Now that most people have seen past the aggressiveness you used to display, all that remains is your really indepth analysis to topics.

Once again, don't worry, there's no pressure for you to watch TDRR. No one's expecting this as a duty from you. It's supposed to be entertainment to pass the time.

Okay that I agree with. One thing that he definitely needs, and has been lacking as of late, is difficulty and consequences in his actions. Back in the day he had to worry about lawsuits and the producers on his back. As well as his "brilliant" cruel plans not turning out as hoped. But these days, he just crosses the line every episode and doesn't have any trouble.
