    Astrid, Broyles and Nina in Fringe though I understand a lot of the reasons why they didn't was budgetary.

    To be fair about Arrow, Felicity was supposed to be a minor recurring character until midway through the season when the producers decided they were impressed with the actress and character enough to basically make her a series regular.

    If I had to pick someone, Alexis from Castle. She seemed to have a more diminished role.

  12. lostrocks4everMay 19, 2013 at 11:57 AM

    a lot of good choices here but this one has to go to astrid (and broyles and nina too). it was our finale season and we barely saw her!!! at least she got a proper goodbye with walter.
    also would have liked to see more of jefferson in OUAT, diggle in arrow, troy in community (i felt we had too much abed/jeff/britta/chang) and crowley in supernatural (and maybe cas but too much cas can not always be a good thing)

  13. CanadagraphsMay 19, 2013 at 12:03 PM

    While I think Felicity Smoak is a terrific character who deserves more time, theres not much I think they coulda did to implement her into more scenes.

    My choices would be-
    The Newsroom - Neal Sampat or Lonny Church
    Castle - Alexis
    Psych - Buzz or Woody
    Supernatural - Charlie

    Be interesting to see a poll of characters people wanted to see LESS of.
    I'm sure Shaw from Person Of Interest or Sophie on 2 Broke Girls would win, just wonder what other ones people would pick.

    definitely jefferson. he was only in the first few episodes and then it's like they forgot that he even existed... also pretty bummed that ruby/red didn't appear in much of OUAT season 2 since she was billed as a 'regular', or that grumpy had a lot of screen time without talking about nova/astrid (i know that amy acker is now on POI, but surely grumpy can at least drop in the name and an explanation as to their reunion etc. so that we know she is not forgotten)... same goes for characters like sydney glass, cinderella, hansel and gretel, abigail and fredrick etc...

    Plus, Castiel and Dean need more screen time together because they have a chemistry that no other characters can beat. It's a waste not to take advantage of that.

  32. Compass_1May 19, 2013 at 3:42 PM

    I wish there was more Jefferson in Once Upon a Time but he's busy so.. the character I think missed the most development in Once is not Hook nor Belle but Ruby. I can't believe they just let her go the way they did and didn't even bother to integrate her to more storylines.

    As for Arrow, looking back I think I missed more Thea and Tommy in some episodes, but I think they included Felicity in as many scenes as they could and frankly, I enjoyed her development and the development of the Arrow team. I think the show massively improved from episode 1.14, where she found out Oliver's secret, and I'm glad we'll see more of her next season.
    As for TVD, I missed more Jeremy, and now I think I'll miss more Bonnie..

    1. William Bell - Fringe. Although I am SO grateful that Mr. Nimoy came out of retirement twice for Bad Robot (Fringe, Star Trek), I think a season 5 appearance and somehow stringing him with the Observers intentions would have made season 4 more relative and would have helped add onto Olivia's and Walter's story, as in some ways, I think Olivia's story was a little neglected in season 5.

    2. August -OUAT - For Emma's season 1 Story, he seemed like such an integral part of her character development and even mythology relating to Henry's book that it would have been nice if he was used sooner to continue to gives insights into Emma, who's story this season become (perhaps intentionally) more insignificant...

    I really don't have many other scrooples with lack of appearances. Just because I like characters like Jefferson, Dr. Whale, Astrid, Nina Sharp, Nick Lane, ect I know that they were not necessarily in telling the stories told.

    SPN Sam & Dean in scenes together. It was an actual policy of the writers to write them separately, probably to give Jared & Jensen time off. And it was extremely annoying.

    Absolutely and I don't mean screen time as wallpaper, which was their biggest role this season.

  52. Aria RedMay 19, 2013 at 6:39 PM

    wtf Dean and Sam have more than enough screen time in every episode, seeing them glued to each other for the whole duration of it would be boring like heck. I love the dynamics added when every brother is teamed up with different characters, specially the chemistry between Misha and Jensen makes the interactions between Dean and Cas the best thing of the show, hands down. So my vote is for Castiel (with more screen time with Dean)

    ReplyDelete
  53. DahneMay 19, 2013 at 6:40 PM

    Agreed. The same could be said of Dean and Sam Winchester in Supernatural this season. Some of my favorite characters had a lot of technical screen time this year, but they were often used as wallpaper and seat fillers. I would have liked Astrid to be more a part of the action instead of in the background.

    ReplyDelete
  54. DahneMay 19, 2013 at 6:43 PM

    And even when they were in scenes together, they were often watching the action from the sidelines or sniping at each other and on different pages. True brother time was in rare supply and most missed.

  55. Wilson CrawfordMay 19, 2013 at 6:46 PM

    I voted for Cary Agos. I think as. Character he had a lot of growing to do this season and he did that mostly in the background. I would have also voted for Kalinda Sharma because she had absolutely nothing to do this season except that dreadful husband storyline at the beginning of the season.

  56. Wilson CrawfordMay 19, 2013 at 6:49 PM

    My thoughts align with yours as well. When we did get some winchesters in the spotlight it was only for some contrived soapy moment... Unfortunately that means that I enjoyed this season primarily due to the new and/or other characters they had this season. It's almost a catch 22 for me.

  57. Wilson CrawfordMay 19, 2013 at 6:51 PM

    The sad thing is the Astrid issue was a series long event that had her perennially stuck in the fringe lab doing something random only to get one or two lines in here and there. :/

    Very true. I remember thinking that if anyone was going to die it would be Astrid because she was the main character with the least actual tie to the events. I am pleased she made it through the whole series but many times the character was wasted.

    I also thought William Bell would of made an appearance in S5,but since they did make that connection of Bell and the Observers maybe they didn't have enough time (or money for special effects) to tell that part of the story? If they only had a full season......


    I was thinking of Nina and honestly i can't complain.Her part this season was pure perfection,she shined. Wish i could say the same for Astrid..


    Totally agree about August!

    There can never be enough Cary Agos on The Good Wife. I'm excited to see more of him next season with Alicia branching out. I also really felt the lack of Castiel this season on Supernatural, though it made sense for him to be absent a lot of that time. I know that's not a problem for a good deal of fans on this site, but I miss the nerd angel when he's not around haha

    I voted for Astrid. I understand that there was lack of time, but I would love to have seen more of her. Also the alt world. I missed red verse on the 5th season. :(
    I would also say Tina, on Glee (aside from the characters like Sugar who are completely forgotten about on the show) since she should now be leading the Glee Team, not just in the background.

    Amen. I seriously worry for S9, especially for Dean's story. They now have to write for 3 "human" characters, and someone is getting shorted with these writers.

    Sam, even when they mangle his story, still has his own. Cas I predict, will be the main story in S9. Dean, they have clearly shown in this last half season, only has a passive story, as he watches things happen to Sam & Cas.
    It will take much better writers to juggle these 3 balls in the air, without dropping one to lay there on the floor all season [except for a clever one-off or two, with "original" guest characters they can watch instead.]

    ReplyDelete
  74. ZoeFMay 20, 2013 at 12:38 AM

    They had tons of screen time... watching eveyone else do things instead of them, and rarely together in the room at the same time. It was "boring like heck" for you precisely because they don't really try to write active stories for the brothers anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Aria RedMay 20, 2013 at 2:18 AM

    Don't go assuming what's boring for others. I had to quit watching season 7 after they killed everybody else off because only the two brothers doing the same thing every episode, well that was boring for me, and annoying, the show was getting stagnant. Keeping them isolated didn't work for a lot of people. If it wasn't for Castiel's return I wouldn't have bother with the show any longer. I liked most of season 8 because there was a variety of new characters interacting with the brothers, making things much more interesting. It was refreshing for once not seeing the two same characters glued to each other and letting new people in their lives.

    More Sam and Dean together but I think they got the balance of guest stars (Crowley, Kevin, Charlie, Garth, Abadon, Cas, Metatron) about right. I just wish some of the MOTW episodes had been stronger and there were a couple of times where cannon and common scense went out the window. I like Sam and Dean together, their scenes together were the strongest of the season especially in the second half of the season.
    Sam and Dean are in a good place now, lets hope they stay that way and JC doesnt decide they need more fake bullshit conflict that doesnt even make sense and isnt written well.

    ReplyDelete
  79. TyranaMay 20, 2013 at 12:32 PM

    Castiel
    obviously, with more scenes with Dean because their interactions
    together are pure magic and the few we enjoyed this season were the
    most intense and brilliant. It was a shame Cas was in so very few
    episodes, I was thrilled when I heard Misha will be a regular next
    season, but I hope that means Dean and Cas will have more onscreen
    time together, because if Cas is left mostly on his own, it will be a
    waste and that's not something I will watch.

  80. ZoeFMay 20, 2013 at 3:27 PM

    My point wasn't to question what you find interesting. It was to point out that the writers stopped trying to write interesting things for the brothers to do together, and that is why it is boring for some.

    Bonnie in VD. She was completely underused and mistreated by the writers and the last two episodes of the season for her storyline wise actually disgusts me. I think pretty much every character on this poll needed more screen time, with the exception of Cary Agos in The Good Wife, Cho in The Mentalist (don't watch either), David Rosen in Scandal (don't like him) and Castiel for Supernatural (the sole reason I don't watch the show anymore.)

    I can get Jefferson as an OUAT choice (although I think most people know that it wasn't a writer's decision, but the actor's simply not available), but Hook? He had a character centric episode early on, did some evil meddling with various characters throughout the season and the finale was very Hook centric. There are so many other characters on OUAT who had way less than him although they deserved more.
