Oh, yes, excellent point. Peter used to be a competent individual who kept being stymied by a combination of his priorities being elsewhere, and amusingly bad luck. Whereas in BND, things go wrong and we're apparently supposed to feel bad for him -- and once or twice, okay, it is actually bad luck or his responsibilities or both, like the Microverse thing -- but mostly you kinda just sit there and go, "Hey Peter, if you used your brain for two minutes, your overwhelming problems wouldn't be half so bad. Stop whining, whiner."
