User blog comment:TDFanatic52/Ideas that Could've Helped AS/@comment-1037137-20160402233418

I'm actually starting to feel that Scourtney really wasn't the worst thing in this. It's stupid for sure, and nonsensical, but it in itself wasn't actually all too terrible, and before it self-destructed there was something real there. Scott and Courtney were both more fun for it. Same goes for Gwen and Courtney making up, before they killed it, it was great to see them fixing things back up.

Duncan struggling with his soft side wasn't too terrible either, its fault was that it got no resolution. They just dumped him before anything could really come of it. Which is just stupid on the writers' part, even if he is an overrated louse.

Sierra really should have developed without Cody or "Camcody" as a crutch. It would've opened her up to far more interesting interactions if they had not kept up the Cody schtick when Cody wasn't even there, and it derailed her game entirely. They had the chance to do it, and they didn't take it.

The Jo vs. Heather rivalry was a majorly missed opportunity. Keeping that in would've made for a great deal of better drama, giving Heather a new opponent in the form of someone just as cutting as she is. In fact, making Jo the villain even might've helped too. Imagine Heather just snapping at the idea of Jo having outlasted her, just as Lightning was majorly PO'd about this. Could've even hooked up with Duncan in an alliance as part of his struggle with his villainous edge, with perhaps Zoey serving to pull the other way giving the strange friendship those two seemed to have.

"Undesirable"? That's not the right word. Try "misplaced". Sam clearly didn't belong, let's just make clear that this was a very bad and lazy idea from the very start. Should've brought Brick back to serve as a foil to returning villains like Jo and perhaps even aid in the struggle to keep Mal at bay, if you were to keep that craphorse around. Or even bring back Harold, same voice actor, have him reignite his conflict with Duncan or get used by someone intimidating like Jo to advance himself and herself if it meant getting even with Duncan again. But maybe realizing after a certain point that being a pawn just ain't cool.

I'm just tossing stuff around here, there were some good ideas but this season did NONE of them any justice when done. And there was plenty of room for FAR better ideas than what they gave us.

But don't use WT as a reference, that season was truly terrible on so many levels. Especially in the character development department NEVER EVER use it as a reference for that.
