Character development is key. If you can get it right, if you can see a continued and meaningful evolution of the characters while still keeping them true to themselves and in a way that flows with the still-moving continuity, then everything else will easily fall into place swimmingly. That's the making of a great show. Tragically, this show rarely gets it right anymore and Gwen is one of the handful to have it worse than virtually anybody else, so much so that she is now losing fans because of it despite being a fan favorite from Day One. You are right, they need to be taught a lesson in what separates development from derailment, and bring in people who actually know this intimately or heck, actually care about this factor in the writing. You'd be a fool not to recognize what kind of toll this failure's taken on the series, am I right? (BTW, who are your two favorites to get the best development?)

Somebody should try it and see what happens. I'd be curious as well what their response would be. Because forgetting one of your own characters is not a good sign.

I'll never get his popularity because it counts as derailment, he was nothing like his ROTI self. And it did not help Courtney either, who in the first episode admitted that her relationship with Duncan had no chance of lasting due to his bad boy nature, and that was a very meaningful statement, rendered moot by this idiotic idea. And since they only ended up nuking it later before the season concluded, that just adds to the whole "What The Hell" nature of it. It was a moron move, plain and simple. And if that was the logic in pairing the two of them up.............Well, that still does not save it from the profound absurdity of such an idea. It did no favors to either character. Admittedly, it was nice to see Courtney getting along with other people and turning a new leaf on her chaotic romantic life (Before that got shot to Hell, anyway), but I have to ask WHY with Scott of all people as a boyfriend? He's even less a match for her than Duncan!

In fact, why not ask them upfront? I'm going to write to Julie on her wall and ask for an answer. Feel free to comment on it when I post it if you so choose.

That's insanity! I am shocked that they of all places never aired The Legend of Korra or brought it over, the Hell? Not that I'm a very big fan of The Legend of Korra, in truth I'm not even sure I consider it a passable sequel. But Korra has been phenomenally huge regardless, I would think it would get some acknowledgement there. That just defies all logic that they haven't imported it yet.

IF ONLY. That would solve all our problems. There's a profound air of incompetence in the current standard of this series.

It might as well have been titled that, because there's simply no denying that they were so hard on for those two to be the center of attention that they were willing to blow everything else to have their way. And boy, is it backfiring horribly on Fresh. They deserve all of the heat they have gotten for it, I do not feel sorry for them. They brought this on themselves with their own foolishness.

The dog thing?

Man, I had no idea. The game looked INSANE from what I saw on YouTube, a freaking space station being hijacked and literally shattering entire American cities, it was like a scene from 2012. Not even the graphics impressed? Holy Crap. What a mess, I guess we won't be seeing Ghosts 2 for a while then.

There probably is, in my opinion. At least partially. I think you'd like COD 2, it is a near-perfect World War II shooter. I actually had more fun with MW3 than even MW2, honestly.

The games have a tendency for holding your hand too much, all in the name of a highly cinematic and climactic ending they never let you determine the course of your own actions, it ends with the usual button sequences and you being knocked out by (Insert exploding object here) so that you're lying on the ground in your death throes left with like one bullet, a knife, a crowbar, etc. or whatever to finish off your opponent depending on the button actions instructed to you. It's dumb to have so many actions result in that throughout, the linearity gets ridiculous sometimes. These aren't rail shooters, they're first-person shooters on the freaking Xbox, give us some lousy path choices damn it.

Fair enough, hopefully you'll like at least a good chunk of what you see upon closer inspection.
