Not bad, been away on vacation all week, hence why I was almost completely nonexistent for the past few days. Five days on the Jersey Shore did me a lot of good.

It didn't help Action's case that it came immediately after Island, especially seeing how Action never took full advantage of its movie genre setup and was where the characters went into decay. But even now, that is not even close to my most hated season. I'd still rank Action as watchable. Not good, merely watchable. Though that doesn't let it off the hook in my book.

Why that wasn't how it was done is beyond me. Were the writers actually foolish enough to believe that wouldn't make everybody angry? That came out of nowhere and was totally unwarranted, and even by Total Drama standards it was a viciously cruel episode. Booty-ful and Wreck-ening are also horrible to sit through for similar reasons. Your idea would've been the far more sensible approach and actually given one of the season's only points of actual focus the conclusion it needed. But I am pretty convinced that All-Stars was deliberately designed to be offensive because who could possibly excuse that kind of writing that plagued it from beginning to end? Hence, why I say it's one of the worst things I ever watched. There is simply no way they cared at all what audiences would think when they put that together. The writing is beyond inept in its handling of the characters and the plot.

True, but it's going to be a while before I work up the motivation for Pahkitew Island. Maybe I'll see it eventually, but the desire simply isn't there right now.
