Nice Rhett drawing @Nanotyrannus!
That's an interesting thought, @Sneak--if Rhett actually got more screen time, he might prove to be an interesting character. The TV show wasted waaaay too much time on songs...and most of those songs were the worst! All those times when the characters would basically just start singing their conversation without it even rhyming...yuck!
@Flathead770 You have some really good points! Rhett's actions do make a lot of sense if you think about it. Growing up, I also met plenty of kids who, like him, were just doing whatever they could to fit with the crowd. Having some follow-up to this episode later on in the series could've gone deeper into this, which would've done a lot to make him a more sympathetic character. Giving Ali another episode where she actually had the chance for more screen time would've helped things, too!
This thread kinda seems to be pointing to the conclusion that without the Phony Ali problem, Rhett actually could have been a pretty decent character...
