@Epic, Yeah, but those only last for like 3-4 episodes at most. Heather was his only long-running threat while every other threat he had besides her, Owen, and Duncan were quickly terminated once they started to catch on (Bridgette & Noah).

@Stryzzar I guess him dumbing down other characters is a valid criticism, but it's nowhere near as bad as Mal.

So long as people actually acknowledge that he was the first one to dumb the cast down, I'll take it.
