Right. Well if it's only because they like Sierra, then that's even worse, because that's not liking Cody for who he is as a character, that's liking him because of another character who's entire role in the series is leeching off of him. And that makes no sense. And it has not helped Sierra in turn, since TDAS insisted on making her obsession with him her only character trait, reducing her to a one-note character. An insufferably annoying one-note character.

I don't know, but if that's the reasoning for why he's so praised, then I'm still lost.
