User blog comment:GwenwinsTDI/Thoughts on Cameron, Mike & Zoey/@comment-1037137-20140829191404

Cameron was a lot of fun in TDROTI and was perhaps the only one to get truly serious and committed character development. He was much more deserving of the prize than most others who have been within reach of it and was amusing in that season. I have no clue why they threw all of that away in TDAS, where he was reduced to an afterthought. A derailed afterthought.

Mike. I hate him. He's got no depth, he's got no personality, he's too wrapped up in his alter-egos and relationship with Zoey to develop beyond that, and was an insultingly pathetic villain. He's a total wreck and I seriously urge them not to bring him back anytime soon.

Zoey. Deeply flawed and unfortunately made to look really dumb in TDAS, and was way overplayed there like Mike. I think she's held back by the emphasis on her relationship with Mike, which has for too long been a major plot tumor. And yeah, she doesn't live up to her Indie Chick stereotype either, should've assigned her a new archetype if they really had no clue how to work that one in. But I don't hate her. I still like her and do think she can be salvaged with some effort. But they absolutely cannot play up that romantic relationship again or the apparent godplaying. Focus on developing her rather than overplaying her.

That's my two cents on my current feelings of them there.
