I've definitely gotten around on that site. Yes, thank you for your feedback there, it seemed appropriate to expand on that entry given Total Drama's crazy history with sequels. It's unfortunate that it fell into that pattern immediately after TDI ended.

Oh yeah, that. Yes, Total Drama falls under that trope too. But honestly, it's more how these changes have been executed than the changes themselves that's hampering the series on a whole. I mean Action and All-Stars had some good ideas that was handled so poorly and without much in the line of any structure or integrity so they ended up amounting to nothing that anybody liked. Definite bad changes however do include the shortened length of the seasons, the shortened intro, the destruction of Wawanakwa, and BS of that like. Those are inherently negative for sure. And changing the casts is always going to divide people, especially since we've been greeted with such an inherently dissatsifying treatment of the still beloved originals.

They really do, they need us to tell them that? That isn't good news. But they've been charging forward doing the same HS for ages now and that's what landed us with the more recent disasters this show has endured. That's the problem with having no communication with your fandom, other shows have maintained a much healthier connection than Fresh TV ever did. There's more to this show than just drama, anyone who actually has the right to call themselves a professional in this business ought to know that. Regardless, that was still a frustrating and poisonous episode, as were those that came immediately after it, and the ones that have come later under his penning. His worst contributions to the series have to be these aforementioned episodes, episodes like Wreck-ening deserve all of the flak they got. I would love to know who keeps saying yes to the scripts writers like McGurrin put out, I firmly believe that quality control has not been in place at Fresh for a long time, if ever. And probably the bare minimum of editing. These types of episodes are chock full of all kinds of bad judgement.

As far as I'm concerned, Owen is a waste of time. He's more of an annoyance than a character now, much like Mike or Feral Zeke. Maybe not as bad as those two, but I'm tired of such a weak character coming back to eat up more spotlight when you've got infinitely more interesting people to choose from.
