Which is of course a really good reason as of late, especially when you take her previous behavior and history into account, since she clearly began to crumble ages ago, this just happen to epitomize how bad that fall has become. But we do appreciate her in TDI of course, that was when she was Gwen, that was when she was awesome and likable. Not this sappy, impulsive, somewhat ***holish clone we're saddled with now, I don't like this new Gwen we have on our hands. I feel my distaste for her continuing to worsen unfortunately. And oh man, that post about B.............Yeah, it must be worse than we realized. Yeah, this requires a serious and bracing intervention of some kind, I suggest that sometime soon we discuss how we can play a part in reminding them of what they have allowed to fall into this prolonged decay.

You're very welcome, I greatly value your commentary. Yeah, I'm still doing these massive things as you can plainly see, but it's something I can't help no matter how hard I remind myself of it. But writing for me is one of my niches, and I'm a guy with a helluva lot to say. More than even I can handle, honestly. ^^;

And good riddance! I never want to see that man's name attached to this again, and I hope that we never do. Bringing some new guy on board when he didn't even research the series, knew nothing about it, in the middle of a season focusing on the most prominent, iconic, and longrunning fan favorites where continuity and development should've been priority number one? Who the Hell made that call? But anyway, I'll stop ranting about him, but let me tell you I do not miss him. I've heard too many bad things about him.

Oh don't even bother wasting your energy on cooking up names for that or any of the others, they're too stupid to devote that kind of thought to. Yeah if this is what kids are doing then God help us, because it brings nothing but foolish and blind hopes and nonsense ideas to the table, personally I wouldn't be wrecked if the focus shifted away from the romance completely. Nice easy solution to the plot tumor called love triangles. :D (Actually it's Nizzy, but close enough) And I won't even touch Scarlett x Dave, again too stupid to devote that kind of thinking to, like Gwuncan, Scourtney, Sampher, I mean it's just idiotic, I don't know how else to say it. And the show ought not to be letting this sort of thing run as rampant as it has. I'm seriously starting to think these people don't know jack about the basics of writing a show. >_< Draw some lines, you're absolutely right. And yes, that trend is annoying too, it just adds to the shallowness of the entire phenomenon.

Yep, mostly with Zuko and Mako, probably. (Before the latter became unpopular, anyway, but the former still counts) And Korra gets paired with a lot of people and Katara gets paired with a lot of people. For better or for worse, depending on the ship. Some have nothing backing them up, some the show actually did touch on but openly established were not the endgame pairings. But thank your lucky stars the shippng nightmare surrounding Avatar has lost much of its steam in recent years. After all, we had actual "Shipping Wars".

You're absolutely right, the chemistry was absolutely wonderful. Makes you wish you could join their circle, they were so cool together. But they still had their disputes and their slips, but boy were they tight and were they ever fun to watch. Sucks that they just forgot what a power trio those three were, they NEED to come back. The Terrible Trio is just abysmal. Like you said, it all revolves around their "niceness" and their Designated Hero status which is woefully misguided in the way it's played. Hell, they're too nice for their own good, many of their most vocal critics claim they're portrayed as too perfect and therefore, are too bland to be compelling.

That episode is just hideous. It has no purpose, it accomplished nothing, it obviously tested the patience of a lot of people, and is another one Fresh should just erase all traces of. Sorry your cameo was wasted on this, Slenderman.

They are undoubtedly complex, but that's no excuse. It's because they're so refreshingly complex that greater pains should be taken to maintain some consistency, productive growth, and integrity with them. Everyone falls into that boat, they may not all have the same level of complexity, but as the characters of the show, characters beloved by many even now (Gwen and Courtney still being in the upper tiers), the writers do have the obligation to ensure their continued appeal and to not alienate their respective fandoms. They may not see it as an obligation, but to do anything less is being purely unprofessional. Any good show knows some degree of integrity is necessary throughout, why don't these guys? The TDI writers definitely had it figured out and if they had been kept aboard, maybe we wouldn't be at this low with them and so many others, or at least it would not be nearly as severe and upsetting for many. What you need it writers smart enough and caring enough to take these things into account, this constant abuse and distortion of the characters isn't entertaining, and I can't imagine how anyone can justify it. We've seen from countless shows how tampering with popular main characters is a bad thing for any series and the fans who follow them. It's just simple reality and common sense.

Oh they had no idea what they were doing with TDAS, I have no idea how that even made it onto the air, or how anyone looked at this script and thought that this was acceptable. They said the Ford Edsel was an unmitigated disaster but you know what? At least that piece of crap ran with the right amount of tweaking, TDAS cannot hide the poor work ethic that shaped it, it was like a season designed by committee.

Well I don't know if that's true, man. True, people might be tired of the influx of COD games and COD "clones" out there, but the games have all been massively successful. Maybe they feel the genre is getting tired, repetitive, lacking its original innovation seen in the old World War II titles and Modern Warfare, I don't know. COD gets mocked by a fair amount of people, but I have no idea why. The reasons are not clear to me at all, probably just looking for something to harp on because it's popular. But COD is a huge success story and is not showing signs of slowing down. I only just got Advanced Warfare for Christmas so if you want my opinion on this apparent "revival", you might have to wait until I've played that as it's the most recent game. Sorry I couldn't provide a better explanation.

Thanks man, I appreciate that a lot.
