That's really what I was getting at in the post about not being able to make up my mind: I kept being disappointed. And to a degree, the progressive elements gave me hopes that wouldn't have been there to begin with in another show. That's why I stuck with it past the disability fail and the tokenism and the disappointing revelation about the stutter.
The line of dialogue I referenced in the post was the proverbial last straw because it kind of summed up how the creators seem to view the cast. It was like a cherry on top of it all.
