And that's why all the crap this show pulls frusterates me so much: what's good is REALLY good but the Romantic Plot Tumor and Unfortunate Implications stuff absolutely plague the show. I wish they'd go away.
The Mystery Inc. parallels are great too. Like how Ricky's become such a powerful, ominous figure but is still kind of a whiney, cowardly slob like Shaggy. Or how Cassidy is as unlucky as Velma is but is competent and works to set things right like her too. Or how Professor Pericles is such a total opposite of Scooby in every way: smart, bold, well-spoken, and totally evil. And no, MI Scooby isn't even that last part despite how he behaves at times, especially during the earliest episodes.
