Lightning is still the most fun character ever produced on this show for me. The rest of my thoughts are here and I still agree with everything I wrote.

Already went through Duncan, too. Note that I like Duncan in TDI for pretty much the same reason I like him in TDA and because his personality fits in very well with the scheme of the show. Takes a simple premise, makes it very complex, and never gets too far off track.

Lindsay and Shawn are the other two in "da best" category for me because they are well developed comic relief characters who are part of an awesome relationship, so they work in almost every way possible. Lindsay's dumb blond humor is almost always funny, as is Shawn's zombie gag or general paranoia. Lindsay and Tyler is a very pleasant, drama-free relationship that only exists to enjoy and be adorable, which it definitely does, while Shawn and Jasmine have a very nice story with them, filled with many of the elements that make you want them to hook up, and they have similarities and real feelings for each other that are properly developed. They develop throughout the story, with Lindsay learning that Heather is not who she seems and then learning to work on her own and be a leader in TDA, and with Shawn putting things in front of his fear of zombies. They are both consistent, never really had an episode I would consider bad, and in general are both characters that I would consider ideal. While I think Shawn is slightly funnier and more creative, Lindsay ranks ahead of Shawn due to having more fleshed out interactions, which is a byproduct of having more screentime.

And fortunately, as 90% of people seem to like both of them, there really isn't anything I disagree with on the general consensus, which makes my job easier!

In Island, she didn't exsisted up until she stood up to Heather. That was her only good, and bearable moment throughout all of TDI.

In Action, she was extremely annoying, insufferable, mostly because she had too much screen time, her winning (or being alternate winner), was very predictable, and her Brady-blabbing was unfunny. She was just outdone by Lindsay. When the ladder was out, she got slightly better. But overall? MEH.

And then she was non-exsistent in World Tour though she had few good moments in the aftermath show.

Basically this. Although it honestly doesn't get worse than Katie and Sadie :P
