Precisely. Like 90% of the cast he was not USED well. I think he was okay in TDROTI, and his personas were quite fun if you ask me. And back then his struggle seemed to be taken a bit more seriously. I don't think it was really so bad how they were using it back then, but TDAS just wanted to repeat the same storyline and not do jack with it. And what they did do was crude and poorly thought out, and the ending is loaded with unfortunate implications that are out of touch with the realities of what is a very serious disorder for some in real life. And yeah, the rock thing could also be seen as an unfortunate implication. Kind of like a subtle parallel to suicide, even?

Mal is one of the worst things in TDAS, next to poor/abandoned character development and an astoundingly bad third act of the season. Mal does suck, I think they had potential for a story there with Mike fighting a very literal Inner Demon......but they chucked that out the window and thought that the scary accent was all that would suffice. Total BS.

Well until they start taking a hint and start fessing up to their mistakes, we must continue  the charge. And if someone at Fresh needs to be fired to force the change in direction, well then so be it.
