@Codyfan12. I'm actually calm, but okay.

@FireEater. You hit the nail on the head. :) I feel so dumb that we fought so often in the past. I'd like to apologize for all of that. I got way too hotheaded and hasty.

But YEAH! In my opinion, Scott receives the praise he does not for his participation in the active storylines of the season, which didn't matter because arguably all of the stories were terrible, but for his sheer comedy. The merge consisted of Cameron, Courtney, Alejandro, Gwen, Mike, Zoey, and Scott. Alejandro wasn't funny. Gwen wasn't funny. Zoey wasn't funny. Nobody but Scott even remotely tried being humorous. In a way, that just made Scott the most upbeat character of the season. We rooted for him because he was the only character that made us laugh or smile, even if he was being out of character and impossibly dumb. I can forgive that since I personally feel like EVERY character was out of character and dumb in a way. After all, we have more than enough proof to show that everyone in the season was dumbed down as a smokescreen for Mal's defectiveness as a legitimate villain.
