Well, good thing I decided to do literally anything else besides watching these two episodes as a way of spending my birthday because I feel like I would've lost brain cells had I done so knowing it was a bad idea!

Wristy Business was both predictable and terrible, exactly how I figured it'd turn out as soon as it was announced. Hooray, the ending scene wasn't in the promo, but it was still just as crappy as I feared it'd be thus cementing it as one of the show's worst!

Melter Skelter was better, but nothing really noteworthy just that I had less of a miserable time watching it after Wristy Business.

She just cares for herself. She isnt the nice girl she used to be in the original TD Yeah, after these last two episodes I've decided that I really don't like DramaRama Beth. I wasn't the biggest fan of her on the original show, but she was fine enough. Here, it feels like in an attempt to appease those who thought she didn't have much character, they gave her more of a personality. But in the process, they made her not only worse but also pointless when we've got at least two characters who already inherit her current personality traits of being weird (Izzy) and gross/disgusting (Owen). Heck, Owen in this series is far less disgusting/gross than her even though they've occasionally resorted to those bottom of the barrel aspects of his character from the original series!

I've also decided that I don't really like this version of Leshawna either, yet I'll still say she's an improvement over her original counterpart post-Island.

So long as the majority of the fans who don't mind the fact that Gwen in this series is pretty much in-name only and are OK with being blatantly pandered to, their mindset is likely "It's broken, but let's not fix it!". All-Stars Gwen still feels more like Gwen then this Lucy Loud wannabe/Goths ripoff.
