Here's what continues to puzzle me

[serafina20]

Why is it that Mahone is a crazy, bad, irredemable, stupid, dumb, annoying character who must die a horrible horrible death but Kellerman--a man who hunted a teenage boy, bragged to him about killing his parents, killed his own partner in cold blood, and is undeinably not as smart as Mahone--a wonderful, masterful character?

I like Kellerman (as a bad guy), don't get me wrong, but I don't get what's so great about him and what's so bad about Mahone.

*grr*
