Hi,
Ralphie was toned down by the writers to make him more human. Many of season 3s critics also believed Ralphie would have been whacked out at the end of season 3. They toned down the character and as a result Ralphie was given a pass. IMHO they should have left his character alone. He was funny as hell at the start of season 3. His Gladiator quotes were history making especially when he knocked the guy's eye out.
