I never noticed that, but yeah wow. No offense to Owen, but Action is really at his best when he's not there. I feel like this is a very accurate summation of all my mixed feelings on the different seasons.

It's very hard for me to give credit to the writers. On the one hand this feels very deliberate on their part. On the other, they do so many other things that irk me that I question it. Not that they can both have a clever idea and being disappointing. That said, Alejandro winning kind of feels like a mistake then. No offense to him, but if he's a take down of villain/God Mode Sue's then him winning makes it feel less effective (though it would explain the absolutely brutal ending). I also think even if it's a clever idea, if you have to sacrifice established characters' personality and quirks for it than it's not a great idea. (Sorry, I feel like I'm being a little too TD bashy here...)
