Are you saying here, that I obviously didn't "love Todd," because if I did, I'd be in some kind of deep mourning?
Puhlease... I'm not even going to get into one of those "deep discussions" about who loves Todd "the most", because I really don't care. I AM a Todd fan, I have been for years. It made me sad as hell to see Roger leave, even if my couple seemed to be burnt to a crisp. Hell, it's not like it was the first time, anyway.
Pfft, Trevor is doing a great job, and Malone is writing the Todd that I understood as I understood him to be. I've sat through a lot of shit, that I didn't understand and a whole lot more that I didn't care to understand, just to see Roger. I've finally decided, that a competent recast, and writers who understand the character, is better than that guy who LOOKS like Todd being written by some bitch with a short attention span (Phelps), a twisted bimbo (Long), and incomeptent (Laiman), she who needs serious medication (McTrash) and some twisted mom and brat (the Labines) who thought that it was all about "their muse".
I'm happy for Roger, because he's got a happy gig. I'm happy for Trevor, because he's strutting his stuff. Mostly though, I'm happy for ME, because it's not nearly as hard to love Todd as it was say... a year ago.
