Well hopefully you're moving on to bigger and better things. We can't go backward, we can only move forward. And I trust you'll do fine with that.

Also true. And hey if nothing else, I'll know some of these basic facts about home improvement I was often so ignorant of.

So far Kitty has been consistently lovable. And even if Nemma turns out to suck, that doesn't really damage Emma and Noah so badly past the point of being enjoyable right? Surely what makes them good characters still shines through, am I wrong?

Damn it. Well, I'm going to try to judge objectively upon the progression of their story. But I am not optimistic that I will be impressed with Devin or Carrie before their time is up.

Yeah, Mary is a total throwaway. Ellody kind of stands out, has the charm of Emilie-Claire's voice, and gets more lines than Mary. But no effort was put into Mary. Her design is not so great and they're too late to give her any relevance. So Ellody fares slightly better between the two.

The goths weren't doing a great deal for me until the Transylvania episode, where them finally smiling over the experience was one of its highlights. Their deadpan snark puts that of all others to shame right now. Unleash these guys on Chris, let them haunt his nightmares XD

Taylor is really hard to actually like, that's for sure. And Kelly is an ineffectual parent, but that is kind of the point. I know she tries to take a stand for herself before the end, so I look forward to seeing that.

The original cast had the strongest and best dynamic, by far, no contest. All were widely appealing upon introduction, so it's extremely sad and frustrating that they've really been used and written like crap through and through over the seasons, especially the All-Stars, that is beyond inexcusable. Equally inexcusable is how badly shafted almost all the others have been. Anyone who gives a damn about their own work would've worked a lot harder to treat these guys with justice, because it's such a good cast that it deserves far better than what Action, World Tour and All-Stars have all given such a large number of them. No other cast has quite compared to them, especially not the third cast.

At least Laurie wasn't constantly being made out as a bad person or deliberately written as such to manipulate the reaction to her elimination. The writers may or may not like it, but throwing away everything surrounding Courtney that was remotely positive for the drama fest they put together in that episode, that was one of the worst decisions they ever made as a team. And yes, I believe you've told me that. From what I understand from a friend of ours who did talk to Christine Thompson, certain people wanted to keep the Gwen-Courtney drama going, even though Christine apparently said she had reservations over that decision. So this was done mostly for the sake of drama, if what she said is to be believed. I mean Good Lord. How did they not appreciate the consequences of that decision before going through with it? Seeing how badly it was received, hopefully they aren't feeling too proud about it.

He is rather endearing, surprisingly enough. Thankfully with him there's no hidden agenda, they're just playing straight laughs with him.
