Yeah, pretty much. Time Zones, y'know? Fair enough by me, I can't stay up too late tonight anyway, got to go out of town for a few hours tomorrow.

Fair enough, but I don't think fans appreciated anyone being so out of character or stupid in TDAS, that is the main reason why it was so utterly killed. (Though why Scott still is off the hook for also being OOC is beyond me) Cameron's no exception, that made it even easier for the haters to single him out, that's the unfortunate reality of his TDAS participation. He had no purpose, no role, was extremely OOC and still tied to characters who had easily the most misguided focus of the series, and for that he became such an easy target for his most vicious critics. But ROTI should not be held against him, Cameron was not so unwatchable in that one. And that's not a problem, make whatever edits you want. I'd rather that it be edited by someone as unbiased as yourself, as is the entire point of TVTropes even as they go into detail with fanbase views.

Again he has his moments, but he is nowhere near as uproarious as these comments I've seen lately tend to suggest. They hype him up a little too much for me to take seriously. Personally, I rather point out the dead honest reality about him, that he isn't as funny as they want the rest of us to believe. Sure that kind of bluntness is not going to be received well, and I don't mean to be disrespectful, but doing my best to be unbiased, is he really THAT funny? No, I think that's giving him too much credit, and don't anyone ever try to claim to me that he had a plot in ROTI. He didn't. That's pretty much truth that he had virtually no plot up until the last minute, and even then it was too little, too late, and too forced. Lightning fans are free to love him, that's fine, go ahead and worship him, but let's not be distorting what was presented onscreen just to make our favorites look better. If anything, Lightning's comedy should be leaving fans asking for more, to up the ante a bit, to add more meat to the present comedy of the series, which has been getting progressively weaker, more juvenile, and too cruel to be passed off as legitimate comedy. He does have some funny moments, like whenever he screams like a kid or when squaring off against Heather on the blimp. But other than that and a few other scant moments, I'm using a laugh track to simulate the laughter that apparently I'm supposed to be dishing out for this guy.

S***. O_O THAT bad, huh? Well then he must be terrible. And I fully anticipate that he is. He doesn't look like or sound like anyone I could roll with for long, and he also looks incredibly bland. Yeah, I think I can already see why you wouldn't like him, this doesn't sound like a guy who should've lasted for half a season. And his gimmick is pretty much trash. If he didn't make merge, then maybe you'll get your wish.

I try my best, I still have a bit of a temper and some impatience though, so I still get into disputes. But I'm never let that series of events repeat itself, no debate should ever get that volatile over something so stupid.

Totally. Let's just face it, he was an epic fail as a villain and because they blew it on that call, they are not particularly eager to revisit him as a character. In fact, it doesn't sound like any effort went into making him convincing as a villain, not much more than Mal. He was there to be the one to take the axe to Gwent. Once that was done, they just..........stopped.
