TDWT was never a matter of good or bad, it is usually #2 on season rankings and was well-recieved in it's first time.There just happen to be flux of people calling it overrated lately.

TDROTI was never a matter of good or bad eitehr, it's placing is usually five (directly in front of TDAS) and talk about it is usually about how stuff like Dakotazoid and zoke were bad.. Personally I enjoyed the first half but got bored at how it had quite possibly the worst selected merge i've ever seen, but aside from that. I would literally argue that Pahkitew, World Tour and Island are really the only consitently liked seasons. There is a decent amount of people who liked TDROTI though.

Why would they even continue in the route TDAS went, though? I don't see any logical reaosn to do that.

Pahkitew was well recieved, but the finale is just considered a bad episode. There are still problems with Pahkitew but I believe it was a pretty big improvement from the two seasons that came before it. I've even seen people rank it above TDI before (even though that seems completley insane to me.)  There are still problems but I don't think it is the wrong direction.

Look I don't like seeing messed up stuff happening to these characters either, but I don't think going off of "how many characters came off on a good note from one to ten" is a very good way to judge a season when there's much more to it than that. There are some other problems like the ones you mentioned though.

Overall my point is that I think you need to try to be a bit more posititve about it. I feel like you're gravitating towards the negatitve aspects of things, and you end up blind to what good things might come out of what you consider a bad season.
