As in sticking with Medpacks?

Exactly. This series has almost never pulled any punches, it always gets you in a big way with the shocks and sense of loss it evokes. So to go against Cortana is really bizarre. I mean do we really want to be brought to the point of having to destroy her? She's half the reason humanity is still standing, now she's seeking to take charge of it. Even after destroying the Covenant, it's clear that peace is still not restored yet.

Hopefully so. Hopefully this is just a momentary error of judgement.

Agreed. Do not endanger the Halo brand by straying from what has consistently worked and has kept fans coming and kept fans more than simply satisfied. Lots of game series have fallen into obscurity or become an afterthought by doing something someone else did and applying it to a series where it simply went against what made it great to begin with.

I try to. For the most part. I like to think that I've done better since that crap I embroiled myself in during All-Stars. Let's just try to forget that mess since that really was just a plain bad time to be a TD fan. I know what I should not have been doing during that whole mess. Yeah, this is a fandom where unpopular views do often clash with the popular ones, with both sides known for getting extremely defensive over them. Like if you don't enjoy World Tour, people think you can't appreciate great art, or some crap like that. And that's not even getting into every character's individual fanbase/hatedom, but that's a different story.

I do, I know the Total Drama series could've done, and should be doing a lot better than this. And I don't think that's a judgement based solely out of personal dissatisfaction with it, though it has a lot to do with it. There have been many times where the series pulled a lot of BS that put off the masses and in favor of one thing neglected everything else or just made things plain frustrating to sit through. It's a trend I'd like to help eliminate if I can help it. I do demand better quality writing than what we've so often got, and I hope the show gets its act together before it draws too close to the end to realize what it could be. I mean between Action, the triangle in World Tour, Revenge, and everything about All-Stars, that's a pretty chaotic track record where the bad trends have become far too obvious. And they're at a point where they need to be rolled back before anymore damage is realized.

You bet it did. I've basically refused to invest myself in anything they do for fear that they'll do something to suck the enjoyment out of it, and usually just wait to hear everyone else's feedback after it's all said and done before even considering flipping anything of it on. Playing it safe now, which I wish I didn't feel the need to do all the time with this show. Yeah, I sped through TDPI, marathoned that and was done in three days. With RR I may poke at it later. Definitely not watching it all at once, I'll take my time. Though I'm still not impressed by the look of the cast and it's hard to overlook this distrust I still am feeling.
