User blog comment:Cody Kins TD Fan/Is Ed McDonald REALLY That Bad of a Writer?/@comment-35640410-20140302054102

You know what? I'm just gonna say it.

No.

That's right, I said it. No.

Now please let me explain first before anyone starts jumping down my throat:

I'll admit, I don't feel he's the best writer, but not the worst one either. I didn't like the challenges for episode 8 and 11, like they just seemed kinda bland, but putting that aside, they aren't all that bad.

I really liked what happened with Duncan in episode 8; cause ya know what? He was long overdue for karma, and a lot of fans out there felt Duncan became an annoying karma houdini since World Tour (and maybe even Action, but for me it was World Tour).

Also, and I'm sure a lot of people will disagree with me on this, but in quite honesty, Courtney really also needed the elimination. Why? Well, what kind of bugs me is how a lot of people act like Courtney was always innocent about the whole Gwuncey love triangle and how Gwen was the only one having everything thrown at her. And in all honesty, looking at her and Gwen becoming friends again, I feel it just kind of came out of no where; because she kept acting like she wanted Gwen's head served on a platter till suddenly through episode 7 and 8 those two are acting like Katie and Sadie! Plus honestly it was kind of foreshadowed that their friendship would die out soon (episodes 9 and 10 imo kinda hinted it). Plus, this is Courtney we're talking about; she has these kind of schemes up her sleeve and I'm glad Gwen managed to figure things out.

Also, to the people who say it's Ed's fault why Courtney's character was inconsistent, it isn't. It goes into the "TDA doesn't exist and "Certain things of World Tour" don't exist games.
