Definitely not. There was so much here working against exactly what the fans liked or wanted, there was enough fan disservice here to put off nearly every fan following in some way or another, and that's more or less all it did, which does not bode well for the show's standing. Yeah, the other seasons could be called mistakes, but THIS? Something much worse, and everything in it just screams how much it was not ready to air and how thoroughly unprepared they were for the idea they chose to tackle. This just ended up a dumping ground for all of their bad ideas, essentially. It will take a TON of work to make up for this disaster, and even if not everyone walked out after it aired, too much more of this crap will at the least wear and grate at the fanbase even if it doesn't shatter it. And improvements are urgently needed to get the series back to form and closer to its original season, Island.

Glad you agree, I really think Obvious Beta is the best term for this season as defined over on TVTropes, I mean it has all the hallmarks of something that was not properly looked overly and doublechecked or edited before it was put out. And the problems, stretched all the way to the first couple of episodes, even before everything really went to Hell from the merge onward. Clearly this should not have been put out.

Definitely not, it was an addition that proved poisonous. Whatever they do, they need to fess up to their mistakes with Mike/Mal/Zoke, and realize that all of those proved counterproductive and damaging elements to the whole series. They're widely seen as a black mark that has been killing the show by many, many fans, and their ludicrously overblown spotlight to no productive ends fully vindicates that hatedom. Those elements just seemed to play up the absolute worst aspects of the show and became the poster children for its worst problems.

Which again, is complete insanity. Hopefully it never sees undeserved figures like that again.

You did? Whoa, man, who was it you talked to? And if they did listen to you, do go for it again if you choose to address TDAS. You're a really smart guy, they'll be open to more of what you have to offer. Of course that's your call to make. But I'm glad you took that initiative, as that's what's needed as we try to make things right around here.

I hope so. I want a real explanation to the questions I bring up if possible.
