I'm reading the reviews for season 4 and seeing them all saying stuff like the writing is disjointed and the characters have become bastardized. I haven't noticed this at all, maybe it's because it's been a while since the last season, but it seems to just be business as usual to me. Maybe it's not quite as hard hitting as some of the show's earlier moments, but I certainly don't think it's half a star quality like a lot of these reviews say (it seems especially quick to jump to conclusions this early also). Is this just a cope for all the stragglers finally realizing where the show's politics lie, or there actually some drop off I'm not picking up on?
