Didn’t like: Gideon’s goal

Durand’s campy (yet deadly) performance as Gideon was never tiring, but the character’s ultimate goal—collecting all the magical keys and opening a portal to the demon world large enough to consume the human world—just didn’t feel as dangerous as it should have. In seasons one and two, the villainous Dodge, in all her disguises, created malevolent chaos by tracking down individual keys and delighting in using them against the Lockes and their friends. Gideon didn’t care about using the keys in any way except smushing them together to create his hellmouth—a bit boring, to be honest.
