I wish we could just brand this non-canon and start over from scratch. I mean damn it, they really blew it in a big way on nearly every count. Instead of developing anyone positively or redeeming them, they just made an even worse mess out of it. There were so many better ways to do all of these plots without destroying or backtracking or confusing the characters further than they already had.

Fresh's inabiility or refusal to understand how we feel about all of these guys, that we actually do care about the integrity of the characters and the stories is what is killing this deal. They've shown utter disregard for the fact that we do care when that integrity is constantly violated. Simply can't keep letting them ignore that, enough damage has been dealt through this blatant ignorance of what effect it is having on the show and its fans.

If there was no Pahkitew Island tied to this, if All-Stars was truly a standalone and had nothing else immediately following in its wake less than a year after its end, then All-Stars probably would be branded an outright showkiller, the final jump the shark moment. It just has no place in the canon and I am sorry that we're stuck with it. Somebody should've pulled the plug on this thing before it aired and started over.
