If the show actually had Dot react to things the way she should've have, she'd be one pissed off woman.
-She specifically mentioned wanting to live a low key life away from TFs only for her own kids to bring home 2 new TFs and pretty much go, "We don't care about your feelings, here's our new siblings!" Not only does this happen once, BUT TWICE.
-Her dream job was a lie to get her to work with the very beings she wanted to get away from.
-Robby and Mo are pretty much trained to be child soldiers because of the cyber sleeves which also end up almost killing Robby.
-The amount of shenanigans the kids and Terrans get into by WANDERING OFF
Dot should've been the one to fight Mandroid in Prime Time. She's dealt with so much shit throughout the show that she would've probably welcomed the chance to use him as a punching bag.
I have found that my favourite characters tend to be the exasperated parents who need a vacation. Soundwave, Charlie Burns, Dottie, Ultra Magnus, Agent Fowler... what that says about me I'd rather not think about
