Well, for starters, they didn't use the Dakotazoid joke for 22 episodes, they used it in three.

Second, Dakota is still intelligible, unlike Zeke. She still is Dakota and she still retains her mind, which is much more than can be said for the zombie freak who can only grunt and not talk.

And at least the cause of her mutation makes more sense than Zeke's. Not to justify it, but it still didn't feel as forced as Zeke's, which from what little we can make of it resulted from him spending too much time in cramped quarters of the plane's innards.

And despite her physical changes, Dakota is still a functional individual. Zeke truly has become more of a true animal than anything else.

That's why I think it's the lesser of the two offenses.
