I’ll give 1000th Chopper Flight this, I honestly don’t know where they might take things now. Having CJ be the main instigator of chaos in this episode (if you don’t count Mordecai’s notoriously bad timing) does a few things. CJ no longer holds the same moral high ground she did in Merry Christmas Mordecai and Sad Sax, since in this instance she was the one who made the lapse in judgment. At the same time, it does potentially give way for more in-depth character development. CJ’s main flaw since the beginning had always been her fiery temper. She’s not unreasonably angered, but once her tolerance threshold is passed, she’s quick to judge and makes rash decisions without thinking them through. 1000th Chopper Flight, more than any other episode (though it was also touched upon in Daddy Issues and I See Turtles), gives direct reason for her to address this aspect of herself. Her temper isn’t just a trait anymore but something that legitimately causes problems for her those around her. That’s pretty good writing for a kids show. I feel like this is something they’ve been slowly building up in terms of her character, so I too really hope there’ll be some kind of resolution and this isn’t just used as a quick excuse to write her off.
