No problem.

I'm going to admit, Chris definitely wasn't perfect this season. While I didn't mind what he did in the finale, since I liked the twist, Scarlett Fever was back to bad Chris. I don't think he had a bad episode while Topher was there though. He may have been more fair in TDI and TDA, but he wasn't entertaining; this is the only season I found myself enjoying him. I also only know one person who thought this was his worst season.

Yeah, I agree that his status of being a satellite character is his biggest problem. An extra interaction that was brought up more than once would have definitely been nice. But it is harder to do when Chris is the designated interactor since he cannot be with his team. It does limit him, but at the same time, I feel like it is harder to incorporate them with the way it unfolded.

I thought Topher was semi-explored. We know his characteristics, his goal, and most importantly, how he wants to obtain his goal, which isn't bad all things considered. If he never actually got Chris's phone I probably wouldn't like him, but he showed he had initiative. The lack of interactions doesn't necessarily make him less explored, either. What he does lack is hidden depths, but I feel like that a lot of characters in the series lack these, even if they do have a lot of interactions. He might have just acted the same as he normally does if he interacted with someone else anyway.

Won't talk about Sampher, but Tophella existed before the designs were even finalized, and a lot of people just stuck with it. It also isn't exactly fair to hate on a character because of their fans. But hey, someone doesn't like his personality, all the power to them. I just don't think that it makes him a bad character is all. I agree.
