I actually had a feeling you were gonna respond, considering I did mention SMS below, but anyways:

I'm overreacting a little bit, what I meant to imply was Heather was really bad during the second half of TDWT because it just seemed like all of the development she was getting was going backwards. People make her out to be the good guy of the season when she really wasn't. She was just the lesser of two evils, the other evil being Alejandro. Instead of befriending other characters and making a step from a villain to an anti-hero, she manipulates Sierra and Cody, and her character becomes stale and repetitive since all she does is plot to eliminate Alejandro, then one minute later, she's flirting with him, and then another she goes back to bickering with him. And speaking of Aleheather, it really comes across as a rehash of the fellow love hate couple Duncney, the only difference this one being done much better. She just became so stale and boring.

It's not like he's overrated or anything, but yeah, there's really nothing to his character that stands out about me.

Inconsistency or not, it seems clear to me the writers are intent on making her this over-dominant psycho witch. And this has been happening since TDI...yes, even Island had its faults and this was one of them. To see her performance in SMS was not surprising to me, We believed after TDA, Courtney was no longer a villain, but look at what happened when Duncan came back. So to see her betray Gwen and Scott like that was predictable...at least to me. But that's just my subjective opinion. Regardless of how you see her flanderization still doesn't excuse how overall terrible the episode was.
