@CoGreen2.0 (Before I start, sorry for this incredibly late reply; lousy internet connection)

Yeah, there is virtually nothing redeemable about All-Stars, let alone any need to rewatch it. It adds nothing of value to Total Drama, and I think it only aggravated some of the biggest problems with the show, such as with the negative character development and total lack of consistency. It constantly contradicted itself and every other season, and aside from the one plot that we had already seen in ROTI, I don't think any others mattered by the end. Sure we got Aleheather and Scott became a better character, but that's it. And even then Scott had no purpose in this by the end, his plot didn't matter. Neither did Courtney's, Gwen's, Sierra's, Cameron's, none of them. I don't think we've really exaggerated just how bad it is,  it doesn't do its characters any justice and I'm very bitter that this is what we got with the originals after they were away for so long. Next to nothing would be lost if this was said to be non-canon, I don't think.

That lack of closure is seriously frustrating. I really don't know who was supposed to feel satisfied with that outside the Zoke fandom. They may be popular with the younger crowd but there's no excuse for how everyone else became an afterthought by the time they reached the finale. I'll never understand that. Everything about that ending was just one big screwjob, even if it somehow was not intended to come across that way.

Man, every time I try not to ramble, that's exactly what I end up doing, LOL.

Let me ask you CoGreen, outside of Mike, what do you find to be the worst aspect of All-Stars? I don't think it is unfair to blame him for a lot of what went wrong with it, but what is the next worst thing about it to you?
