I can see that, yeah; his character development and arc were a little inconsistent, and I can definitely see why, as a writer, one might be glad to depart from it into surer waters. Though I feel like that applies to the Divergent Universe arc generally. But I dunno; the first time I listened to the Divergent Universe arc, I was pretty unmoved by him, but the second time, I went, AHHH C'RIZZ, ILU. It might just be that I'm generally charmed by Conrad Westmaas's delivery, or possibly C'rizz is one of those characters whose potential I like more than the actual execution. I am not sure.

Speaking of C'rizz and fandom, have you ever read this fic? http://bigfinishlove.livejournal.com/16767.html I highly recommend it.
