This one should be easier than TDRI to me. I think TDAS has some of the lowest lows in the franchise, but I do think it has some very highs as well.

My favorite things in TDAS are actually mostly three specific characters: A) Scott's redemption, as Gideon said. I loathed him in TDRI, found him very annoying and not an enjoyable villain. In TDAS he's likeable, he's hilarious, and he has a good story. B) Courtney prior to Sundae Muddy Sundae. I loved that they were giving her a sort of redemption, and it seemed like she was finally having that amazing finish for her overall arc, like Heather did in TDWT, with finally letting go of Duncan and befriending Gwen and her relationship with Scott (both of which are also two of my favorite things in the season)... of course, they ruined it with the worst episode of all time. C) and last, Alejandro. I really liked him in TDWT, but I think he is actually much better this season, which is weird because I think the 13 episodes seasons doesn't work as well as the bigger ones. But he did.

The worst part, I'll just repeat what Space and Gideon said, but easily Mike. I actually think the season itself had a lot of potential (it was really good in the early episodes), and the cast is actually excellent. But then you have Mike being an offensive character, a ridiculous plot, and hogging all the screentime. I'll throw in Zoey as well since her entire character was Mike. Another thing that bugged me was how dirty they did some otherwise great characters, namely Lindsay, Sierra and Sam.
