User blog comment:Epic~00/Why Total Drama All Stars Was Such An Abysmal Season (PART 4)/@comment-27588345-20141030221457/@comment-1037137-20141031023214

I felt that sense of dread going into ROTI, lucky I enjoyed that season as much as I did even with its very real problems. Too bad it was merely dumb luck in the end. And I know that I'm not really keen on watching TDPI for the same reason you nearly didn't. Yeah I guess it did well, but I still cannot work up the motivation to watch the whole thing. After TDAS I just felt bitter with those who let this mess slip by.

Nor I man, no I. Which is exactly why I want to see redemption for them, I know plenty of others do too. I cannot stand what they keep doing to the same characters over and over again. It's not just getting repetitive, but it's also difficult to watch and rather sick at that. Two characters they love to bring back the most, and they don't even treat them well, I cannot make sense of that. I would love to know what the hell is up with that, because they've taken it too far and those two are in especially great need of a break from all the torture and derailment they get. They ought to both be able to go out with one more season on a high note, because they have not been afforded that in a long time. They need their characters repaired to make up for all this past crap.

This season is definitely full of almost nothing but regrets. And it affected a lot of opinions negatively, I also lost my liking of Mike because he did enormous damage to this season with the focus given to him. And he truly was an offensive and uninteresting character, I know that now. In Revenge it didn't seem so bad by the reset button, I know I am deadset on never seeing Mike again. They'd best not bring him back again. And Zoey, while I still like her, I am not going to defend her like I used to. Because she was awful in this season. Not as offensive, but she did not deserve to get that far, and she was hopelessly stupid here and far too prominent for her own good. I still hope she gets redeemed but I am done trying to defend her flaws, and I am so done with Zoke as well. And yes, that finale is complete and utter garbage. Everything about it was crap. Why can't things ever end on a high note?

Actually, it may give you comfort to know that nobody's been killed off, my friend. They're all alive. But it is still NO excuse at all for this scene, for this cliffhanger, for their continued torment or for the zero mention of where they ended up. I don't care what their intents or ideas are, I don't give a crap what their big scam is, it was a horrible sendoff to them. We deserved to see them all in the finale as we always have and they deserved better as characters. They should not have put that scene in. And I'm ticked that that's the last we'll see of them until later seasons if they come. That's really the only comfort you can take in it, that they are in fact still alive. But it still excuses nothing.
