Definitely agree about the dangers of splitting the seasons. Too few episodes means moving at too fast a pace and not giving time for things to develop or make an impression in the process. Focus on getting better writers to get us back to the TDI days already. That's what we need. We need more serious interactions, plots, and actual consistency, and plots that are actually resolved and not blown out of the blue. TDI stood strong on its own footing and was relatively self-contained, and that's something we need again I think. As for all of the other characters outside of the regulars, I think it's a question of the crew refusing to recognize their untapped potential rather than them not being mains themselves, they got robbed, someone was trying to gradually force 'em out of the spotlight in playing their own favorites. It still makes no sense to me why at least a few, one or two of any of the forgotten ones can't ever come back, no reason they can't have a few of them while keeping the regulars if they insist on keeping the regulars as the mains for the foreseeable time. I never got the logic behind that. But that's just me.
