Yes, and what boths me, is that in IMO, writers showed the Jillow and May friendships as the only friendships Joy needed (the most)...that she was just "a poor girl who needed attention and care". In S2 *at some points*,  writers were pretty bad with Joy, but in S3, they glorified her too much. And they didn't even care if Patricia had the same need of a loyal friend. That's the thing. Joy had/has a loyal friend, af for those ppl who say Patricia was a bad friend in S2, let me ask...Does a bad friend tries to understand you when eveybody hates you? Does a bad friend tell you what you're doing wrong so you can become a better person? Well, the answer is NO.

Mara being Patricia...well...she's a lot tougher in S3 *i part, i liked that, not the dirty revenge, jsut that she became less naive* But she just can't replace her. Nobody has a replacement. Everybody is unique.

Heh, i reminded the Nina/Amber/Patricia trio that is kind of a paralell to the Joy/Willow/Mara thing. Sibuna original girls vs. Non Sibuna Girls. Of course N/A/P wins for me! They remind me of the PPG girls (you know, Nina=Blossom; Amber=Bubbles; Patricia=Buttercup).

Yuh, we're awesomesauce
