1. Yes, and this is just my opinion... but ... the TV audience for the series is huge and includes a lot of younger fans who may not have the literacy (or digital skills) to be active online. The creators are trying to listen more to the online community (the community that I love) but they tend to make their decisions around popular / returning characters based on fan favourites, and who can bring the most drama and interesting story lines to the show.

2. It's a very interesting proposition, and one that I could see developing as we transition from the world of broadcast TV to the world of Internet streaming. However, animation is still an expenseive thing to create (it involves a lot of people hours) so until we can finance spin-off webisodes the minor characters may have to take a back seat.

3. We have (big) plans for Owen... Yes, I would comic relief is a consideration. We are also telling a story in under 30 minutes per episode so things have to keep moving forward... something comedy is really good at doing.

I'd be interested in talking further with you if you have additional questions.
