Day 18: Character Who Didn't Get Enough Screen Time
The character I think didn't get enough screen time would have to be Jonathan Levinson. Not him in high school, but him from the point he realized the darkness Warren brought into the Trio and beyond. I think there was some depth to Jonathan's realization of the evil that was emerging in the group that could have been more meaningfully explored. And from that point on, I always wanted to see him join the Scoobies. He would have added an interesting dynamic, and I came to feel for him as he found himself trapped in a bad situation in which he no longer had any sort of control, so of course I wanted to see him join the "good" side in a significant way. I held out hope even through most of "Conversations with Dead People," but then Andrew killed him. And then for the rest of the season we were stuck with... Andrew. I do appreciate Andrew's arc, particularly from "Storyteller" through "Chosen," but I would have been much less annoyed if Jonathan had been the one to join forces with the Scoobies.
