I get what you are saying about it being different. But I can't pretend its not canon, and personally have no interest in another season from the same writers, etc.
If they do make another season I'd probably give it a chance though. I'm apathetic towards BF now, but there was one really good episode (it didn't really involve him much of course).
And realistically, I don't think fans really have anything to do with whether this show gets another season. This character could easily be redeemed. But to do that would require an implied admission that the people who made the first season screwed it all up. I honestly think they'd rather pretend the audience is fatigued (or a bunch of bigots) before admitting a mistake and course correcting.
