I liked that the ROTI cast literally required the producers to try new things. Without the original cast to fall back on, it opened up a lot of room for more unique TD content and while they didn't always get it right – Mike wasn't really a good idea and Dakota going permanently mutant wasn't exactly my cup of tea – the experimental vibe of the season is kind of cool and is why it's always really interesting to me whenever ROTI discussion comes up. That entire season was a huge leap of faith for the producers.
