''" Many would place it as the 4th best or as high as the Top 3 and thought the characters introduced were the best since the original cast." ''

TDA and TDAS are generally disliked. So out of "6" seasons 4th position or top 3 (I guess above ROTI) isn't that much of an accomplishment tbh. And "best characters since the original cast" in other words -> some people prefer these characters over the ROTI gang (which contained gems like Mike, Zoey and Staci) so also not a very impressive statement ;)

My point being, while Pahkitew got generally positively received I think it's flaws have always been acknowledged, I don't think it was ever overrated. Therefore I don't expect a huge backlash. There might be a little, as happens with every show and season eventually. I think the opposite might even happen, unfortunately I must say I'm not impressed with what I've seen of RR so far (especially the characters who come across as rushed and uninspired IMO). I fear that it will fail... hard. And when it does people might look back on what got previously broadcasted (Pahkitew) and appreciate it a little more.

For me personally I still feel the same way about the season as a year ago. Some of the characters I disliked have grown a bit on me, so I might even like it a little more.
