You mean "sixth" member: Scooby counts as a member too. I didn't get it either. The whole logic behind it was "well, we only brought you in to be the new Daphne, but now that the one, true Daphne is back, the old gang can be back together again, making you out of place. GET OUT!" Never mind that Daphne had done nothing to EARN her place back in the gang: she just came crawling back to them when her boy toy turned out to be a crazy method actor. Marcy did more for them at the time. They ought to have kept her until Daphne did something that proved she really cared about them, and Fred did something that showed the same for her. Which is why I HATED the resolution to the Crybaby Clown: it was a contrived as hell way to return to the status quo.
Yep! It pointed out all that went wrong with that movie (including ACTUALLY not making "Scrappy as the bad guy" work!), and had Roger the Angel in it, too!
That makes sense. Accidental Ship Teases in kiddie shows happen sometimes.
Agreed with that too. And after the Mai Lee episode seemed to redeem Velma and demonize Shaggy, Velma was made to look like a b**** again afterwards! "Trainwreck of a relationship" is right on more than one level! The Shaggy/Scooby/Velma triangle just sucked so much as a plot point, was entirely meaningless to anything in the end, and I'm glad it's been thrown away as of season 2 aside from one reference to the fact that Velma and Shaggy used to date.
If Shaggy wasn't loopy and did it on purpose, he's a terrible person. But even if he wasn't, he's STILL a jerk if he shows no shame in it and GLOATS about it as well! That's why that episode and "The Night The Clown Cried 2" are the only episodes from this season so far that I can't stand. (I'm not a big fan of the Ghost Pilgrim one either, but I don't HATE it like you do XD) Oddly enough, the same guy wrote both those episodes, but he also wrote the Krampus one that re-aired today. My guess is that the material for that episode was SO awesome that he just couldn't mess it up. ;)
