That sign thing makes it sound cheesy. And spilling your guts out on the battlefield absolutely should not have that effect.

They do, but this is still a shock. I mean apparently all those attacks on human colonies, guess who's giving the order? It's alarming. How the Chief snaps her out of it is what I want to know. He's not going to want to kill Cortana, and will only do so if there is honest to God no other alternative.

Totally. You don't need that crap in gameplay. That's just silly and distracting. And how much does the gaming aesthetic really change between installments? Not much in most cases.

I agree, do not fall into that pit or the series could become a parody of itself or one of its clones or competitors. I don't think Halo will fall into that rut, but it's no less vulnerable to it than any other series and so must remain cautious regardless.

I appreciate you being so understanding and patient. You're not like most people who would say that I'm pissing too much and that I should just get over it. Most people would have done that by now in this kind of situation. And maybe to some extent I am being too stubborn and bitter. Wouldn't be a first for me, really. XP But the fact that you're so understanding of why I feel that way does mean a lot.

Well that's good to know that I'm no unique case. I still consider myself a fan, but that's why I invest most of my energies in addressing the problems with the series here rather than focusing on watching it, as Total Drama has not been as much fun to watch as it used to be. The canon's actually become more of a turnoff while the fanon is more preferable, at least to me. When you think of all the missteps, derailments, missed opportunities and some well-known insutls that have been committed over the seasons, it's a show where the regrets are becoming too many. Hard to just trust a crew that for whatever reason or another can't tell their story without demolishing its characters and plots in the process. That doesn't really make me want to tune in. And I just feel like I'm giving up that time watching it to those who I don't think deserve it. Action, World Tour.....after All-Stars, I pretty much decided I wasn't going to let them sucker me in just for them to spring that crap on us again.

Part of me does kind of regret not watching RR when everyone else was, but I wasn't going to watch something that might've gone south in a similar fashion later. And I do not regret waiting on TDPI, what we were given was not spectacular and they definitely did not have my trust. I mean what's the last few TD seasons been in my experience? Just hoping to get through each episode without more bull happening to cramp the ride. That's definitely not entertaining.
