[QUOTE="Alexis, post: 168121, member: 68"] So I am finally finishing season 5. Alyssa Milano has shown up as Michael's sister and she's all kinds of pointless and annoying. She doesn't even serve any purpose. This whole thing with Sidney and the fake lawsuit against D&D and then her relationship with Craig. All of it is nonsense. Especially her getting hired as an exec at D&D and then leaving with Craig to start a rival Add agency. Total bollocks. Peter's personality switch from a mostly good guy to a dominating chauvinistic asswipe is a bit of a reach. I mean I hate Taylor and all but I don't get the switch in personality. Then again I just don't get their relationship at all. I mean it's his dead wife's sister and he just doesn't even seem to like her at all. So why not just throw her out? It's a dumb stupid storyline and a waste of the Peter character. He worked much better with Amanda. This whole gaslighting by Michael and Taylor is daft. I don't know exactly when Peter became so utterly stupid. Amanda and Kyle is not even a thing. They have zero chemistry and I see it going nowhere. Or I hope it doesn't go anywhere.
