Well, first of all, the possibility of Dregg having a piece was not raised in the episode at all.

But to answer your question: It no longer feels important or urgent to me as a viewer. My suspension of disbelief has since been lost. I've no longer been watching an engaging show&mdash;instead I see an increasingly predictable plot, and everything in it disassembled to its plot devices. The show feels lifeless now, and my analysis feels more like an autopsy.

I guess I'm only still here because I once really loved this show, and I also feel somewhat responsible for making more GIFs (like for the new ). But even that is something I am increasingly finding it hard to care about. I make GIFs about scenes I at least kinda care about, with characters I care about, and so forth. My fandom for this show has been dying a slow and rather unsightly death.

Lately, my interest has been shifting to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Amazing Adventures (hence all my recent edits in those articles), which is based on the 2K12 show's continuity but been split away and will not share any new continuity with the show. I still genuinely wonder what will happen next in those stories, and I still care about its characters, because so far its writing has actually been a lot better than the show's. Making sure Amazing Adventures has the freedom to have original content has been a very smart move for IDW, because at this rate there either won't be a season 5 of the show (the execs will change their mind and cancel it before then), or there really shouldn't be a season 5. After the epic mismanagement of season 3, there really shouldn't have even been a season 4. The show had some promise, but its production has become poor.

So, rather than caring about the Heart of Darkness, I care decidedly more about Amazing Adventure's recent stories with or Zodiac. I wish more of us were reading those, because I feel pretty alone doing all the edits by myself. It's better than the show now, and shouldn't we be more interested in a story being good than whether it limps on like some zombie?
