Yep. As much as I hate it, this show needed a big ass cliche' "Hero vs Villain" fight. We never got it with these two. They have similar powers, so it would've been awesome.

Agreed.

I actually like Trish. She's kinda in the way sometimes ( and always manages to make a mess of things), but I like the character.

Yep.

Absolutely. I found myself yelling "Stop being such a bitch all the time!!!" at my TV. We get it. She doesn't like opening up to people, but she's a surly, unpleasant person for about 95% of the show. It gets old.
