Ugh, I just couldn't stand TDAS! I feel like every season that goes by, the producers get lazier and worse at writing the characters and plots. I mean, I don't want them to stop TD but if they're going to be like this...

And I'm split with Zoey. She's my favourite character because I can see parallels between her and me: we both went through a long period with no friends and like her, I'm nice (lol) and very helpful and sweet when I want to be. I'm also socially inept and one of my friends has to guide me through the whole 'social' process. I also like Mike because, well, I find him cool and he's got me researching MPD (which is so much more fascinating but grimmer than how the TD producers wrote it). Zoke is also one of my OTPs and they're very cute together IMO.

But Zoey has virtually no personality. Seriously, she's characterised better in fanfiction. I suppose you could argue that she's kind, nice, sweet, etc. but she has virtually no flaws. Oh, she's dependent on Mike to the point of not being able to do anything without him (she only got to the final two because of Mal 'helping' her) but it's not actually acknowledged as a flaw and that's why Bella Swan isn't a Mary Sue despite being an arrogant b***h - because it wasn't canonically acknowledged.

But I really do like Zoey. I'd love to be her friend if I had the chance and I think she's pretty. I also like Courtney, despite her bossiness and all. But I'm not a super fan who goes "Squeeee! I totally agree with the producers and how they characterise everyone 'cause, like, they know best!" I wish the producers would stop hating on Courtney (Gwen stole her boyfriend, yet she came out of the whole thing way better than my favourite CIT) - it feels like they hate her and make all the bad things happen to her just because they can.

Whew. Well, that's all from me. Believe me, I'm just warming up. And I'm not a fan who goes all 'Japanese anime anger rage' on people who dislike who I like - I actually like reading both sides of an argument.
