It's not that I don't want Goo to have shining moments. It's that her recent appearances have overshadowed and even somewhat disrespected the characters that have been around since the beginning.
I'm never going to understand why Louise couldn't have been used instead of Goo at the end of "The Big Cheese"; I mean, she CREATED Cheese in the first place. And as much as I love Japanese Bloo, I REALLY don't like how Goo is powerful enough to create copies of the other characters(even if not entirely perfect) when they're missing like in "Bus the Two of Us".
About Goo being bossy: I do like that they've added a less-savory side to her personality. But I hate how she's repeatedly tormented Eduardo. I have no problem if she's being bossy to Frankie or Wilt, since these two are very mature and strong people who have put up with infinitely worse. But Eduardo is too innocent and vulnerable for such harassment to be considered funny by anyone outside of Ed-haters.
And about Goo saving the day: if there's a SEPARATE episode in which she's the protagonist and must save the house from some kind of threat, that's cool with me. In fact, "Make-Believe It Or Not" seems like it will be exactly that--which will debut the week after "Emancipation Complication". THAT is why I'll be displeased if she takes the spotlight in "EC" as well; Mac and Frankie(which are touted as the protagonists by the CN.com summary) should be the stars in that episode.
