What do you mean character development without character interaction? Bold concept, though I must note with all due respect that the interactions we see them have are a big part of the appeal in seeing them develop. That was why the combination of two casts sounded so promising before it fell subject to this poor execution of it. It's still a good idea that could be done so much better. Of course, maybe I'm reading what you're saying strictly by face value and if I am, please forgive me. What is it you mean exactly? I'm quite curious.

Oh please put a heavy emphasis on the character development thing if you can, man. Because I really think this show started lagging on character development after Island ended. Too many of the characters are getting derailed or aren't growing past their initial portrayals, and that needs to be addressed bigtime. TDAS was really where it hit a low, wouldn't you agree? Abandoning so many opportunities for positive character growth?
