@Unkown: In my opinion, TDPI only exists because of the 26 episode deal and Fresh TV didn't want to make a 26 episode TDAS (which obviously would've been the smart thing to do). For the most part, it feels just as hallow and lifeless as TDAS and if this season had been the one to air after TDRI it too would've been hated (not to the extent of TDAS, but still).
