User blog comment:Raised By Wolves/Total Dramarama Review – Episode 1: Venthalla/@comment-22317052-20180730195154

I'm actually pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable this episode was, though I kind of wish it were longer. I agree with the lack of necessity of Jude's inclusion, since they could just have used Geoff in his place. The characters all have very cute designs and stay mostly true to their TD personas. The only exceptions so far are Noah, who seems less sarcastic, which makes sense considering his age, and Gwen, who seems way more goth than her teenage self. Also, an episode focused on Owen with zero toilet humor - has that even happened in TD? I like how Chef retains his original personality, yet is still shown to clearly care about the kids. His scenes with Noah were the highlight of the episode for me. Also, is it just me or did the marble Duncan used to substitute Chef's eye look kinda similar to a Mega Stone? I also didn't expect Cody being one of the characters, even though this episode didn't really feature him. Also, Lindsay isn't in the intro, even though I thought she was a shoe-in to make it.
