Something like that I suppose, you are right. I honestly don't know for sure I guess, it just seems safe to assume he is a Scrappy because of all the flak he has gotten since TDAS aired. Sure, some of that heat might be unfair, but that's the reality of his present reception, he's been flamed as hard as the other members of the so-called trio.

I wish Fresh would get serious about rescuing the whole lot of its characters from the Scrappy heap, I'd rather see most characters moved over to that page someday.

Topher's a definite base breaker. You either find him amusing, or pointless and/or insufferable. Mike is unquestionably a Scrappy, and like the original Scrappy has been deemed by many a major hindrance to the series, which is undeniably true in the wake of TDAS. To argue against how damaging and audience-insulting his arc was in that season isn't even worth the effort, and he probably cannot be redeemed in the eyes of his growing hatedom. More than any other character, he's the one most fans would most like to see disappear.

Understandable, and thanks for understanding. Trust me, I know how it is. I burned a lot of bridges last year and spent all of this year trying to make up for that and to move past all of that. Trust me, I know where you're coming from.

Fair enough sense on both counts I suppose. I don't think fans are gonna be too upset to hear Justin called a gimmick, the guy barely has a fandom nowadays.

Somehow, that man keeps falling into the same pattern and keeps pulling the same stunts that has every fan demanding what the hell they just sat through. First he helms two of the most hated episodes in the series, and then his second finale proves the one black mark on TDPI. If that's not indicative of a problem with how he himself operates as a writer overall, I don't know what is.

I would be hugely appreciative if you did that, thank you. If Owen is surely coming back, give this guy a meaning and a purpose. I pray this time they did. Let me know how you fare on that end when you get around to it.

No problem, I understand. And yeah, we both do. I got half a odzen appointments in the week ahead of me to attend, including ones out of town.
