Tons? Let's count the episodes where he's had an actual purpose in appearing in:

1) The Good, The Bad, The Casey Jones

2) The Wrath of Tiger Claw

3) The Invasion

4) Casey Jones VS The Underworld

5) The Arena of Carnage

And no, episodes like The Wild World of Wyrm and Race with the Demon! don't count, as Casey was a major part of those episodes, but neither of those episodes contributed to any plot, meaning Casey (and, yes, everyone else) pretty much did nothing to affect their world in either of those.

But, yes, of the 53 episodes since his "true" first appearance in The Good, The Bad, The Casey Jones, he hasn't had an actual purpose of being in the episodes he was in besides the 5 episodes I've listed. In pretty much every other episode, he's just that guy that sits back and yells out that something is "awesome!" or "metal!" or "wicked!" which gets old very fast. And in action scenes, he's pretty much been a placeholder. Hell, at this point in Season 4, they've pretty much given up trying to shoehorn him in the episodes and just flat out say, "Hey Casey, we're leaving you behind again." Papen kinda has a point.

So... who has collective amnesia, Cubed?
