^ Agreed. They were easily the most(if not the only) interesting characters from that cast and Brick and Dakota were the few who actually HAD real development. I don't hate Sam and kind of liked him in TDRI. but there was no reason why they picked him for the first All Stars season over Brick and Dakota. Only reason why he came back was due to Brian Froud being so high ranking in the TD world.
