Thanks Breakingmikey, I think that's how most people felt about Alejandro and Heather. But I have to lean over to Alejandro as well since he just ruled TDWT, he really was the puppet master and played everyone at his fingertips.

Heather as a hero is up to interpretation, I agree she adopted a bit of a protagonist role nearing the end of the season, but she's simply to mean to fit the role as a stereotypical hero. Hence it's best to describe her as an antihero. I think Harold specifically brings this up when he sings "Now it's Evil vs. Wicked."

Mal had no strategy alright. And the only reason Lightning's there and not Jo is because she just missed out on the end of Scott's villainous reign. I might be wrong, but how I see it, a season can have a lot of villains, but there can only be one main antagonist at any given time. As Lightning was the only one who was left, who was still evil the role went to him. Personally I would rather have Jo get left rather than that brainless mountain of muscle. Having said that, I have gotten a fair few requests to add Jo, so I'll put her in next round as a wildcard.

I personally think of Courtney as usually being an antivillain, but she frequently dips below the line. But I think we can all agree that she was an antagonist in TDA.
