We added a fairy baby, why not add a fairy dog? That's new, that's fresh! You're obviously getting bored of the original cast, right? So we'll give you a mutt for your viewing pleasure! ........I'd have to say that if Poof didn't backfire, then Sparky absolutely did. Mr. Enter even went so far as to compare him to Scrappy-Doo. You know you've failed when your character is compared to one of the most hated in animation.

Exactly, and it's that sheer lack of respect for what their tackling and for the intelligence of their audience, both young and old that makes such behavior ill-advised and out of place. I would not put them in anyway, but they way they go about handling them is disgusting, and clearly offensive. And I don't know how you can make that sort of stuff funny, and in this show it's especially inappropriate. They don't seem to be even trying with legit humor anymore, they seem to be investing more in how much of a jerk*** they can make every character, and telling a straight story rather than focusing on comedy........straight stories that are too heavily laden with said cruelty and increasing sadism of the characters to be considered even remotely entertaining. And it shows with a lot of their newer episodes which have drawn vitriolic hatred all across the board. Are they still not getting the message four years after One Coarse Meal, easily one of their most hated, if not THE most hated episode? Nickelodeon's forgotten what comedy is, it's sinking to Cartoon Network's level. Not a level you ever want to sink to.

Mike is such a bloody mess that it could fry a guy's brain just thinking about it, there are SO MANY problems with his character and how he is written. So many that it's hard to imagine how anybody involved with production ever let it get past them. Guess they're too preoccupied with timetables and saving money to give a crap about quality control. He's clearly designed to appeal mostly to children, since the show's backers have been far too eager to talk down to younger viewers, a crowd that was not this show's original target audience (And again, I think the show, even with its lack of maturity since TDI, is still unfit to be marketed to kids as of late). And a crowd that could be potentially misguided and misled on the truth about MPD/DID. Displaying any real life disorder is a risky move that demands you handle it with some class since they are things people have lifelong struggles with and really isn't funny business by any stretch. This show tried it, and they abused the hell out of it. And I have no idea why they even went through with Mal or the reset button, the character is horrendously written and a highly ineffective villain who coasted the whole way due to plot contrivances and audience-insulting stupidities like dumbing down the cast, and the reset button is not only a massive anticlimax to something that got such crazed buildup, but implies too much that such disorders can be fixed easily. NOT EVEN CLOSE to what the reality is.

And yet we're supposed to be happy for Mike and Zoey when they smack lips at the end even after that insult has been delivered, after what happened to the cast and what happened to the island? How dare they. Seriously. How Dare They.

Let us pray to God they can Mike for good, he deserves all the hate he has received since that thing aired. Doesn't really sound like they want to risk pushing their luck even further with him, they will get burned in a big way by his hatedom if they try.

There's unfortunately way too many bad episodes of Total Drama all the way from Action to All-Stars, enough to fill an entire season of Animated Atrocities all by itself. But Mr. Enter presently is not interested in that prospect, though I am sure he'd wreak hell on the series for all of its crimes over the years if he tried, there is so much there for him to take a pot shot at, and every one would be fully deserved. No professional can honestly try to defend the kind of writing we saw with TDAS or even some of the previous seasons. I'm not sure what they think they're doing.

I'm still FURIOUS about those last three episodes. They'd better not dare let that happen again.

And I am extremely angry that we don't have any info on what became of the eight who flew off, I want to know if they're okay! And even Al and Heather were being chased by crocs last time we saw them, that's ten people who are in danger. Anyone justifying that kind of cruelty needs to get out of the business, I want answers on what happened to the cast and I want them sooner, not later. This cruelty to the cast has to stop.
