Levani, that is not how it works. Sure, you can have all of that stuff, but you gotta play your cards right or it doesn't work. It can't just be a season of references, it has to be a good season in its own right, which we all know it was not. Besides, referencing past stuff may not have been for the wiser, as a lot of the past seasons were clunkers and a lot of the returning All-Stars unlikable or poorly chosen regardless of their "All-Star" qualifications.

Again, can't ride solely on nostalgia to get you by. That's like them thinking all Mal needed was a scary Machiavellian accent to justify himself as a villain. And look how epically that failed.

Yeah, there's like about a hundred bad trends and tics in this series that need to be deconstructed and set right to avoid another disaster like this or the seasons prior.
