Why is it every time someone is sad about how something turned out people assume they're whining? Isn't it possible say "I don't like how things are going" without gaining the ire of everyone else? I like the show but I'm not gone a lie and pretend it is always good IMO. I don't need cussing. It was just something I pictured at least the adults doing. For too long the show came off as just a teenage school life romp. That's why I was happy when things got dire in season 3. But I just don't want to go backward to a "villain/monster of the day" approach. And now there's talk that adding in more strategy was never where the show was headed. That somehow power levels and who's OP was the name of the game all along. Weak.

I feel like the show was growing. Maturing and then it hit a wall and stopped. Even if we're three episodes in what happens if it 6 episodes in and still nothing? How long do we wait for answers to villain motives? How long before Raven appears for longer than a sentence? How long before Adam fights a full fight? What about Salem's past or Watts or any of the villains? Glynda is in Vale fixing it up? Really? Hows that going? Will we get hear it first hand? Merc killed his father? Why? Em's orphan? What city was she from? Where is Salem' HQ for that matter? Why was a dragon in a fucking mountain?

Heres my point: piling on questions and tossing in fight scenes isnt progression. Why dont they set certsin seasons to answering certain questions and defeating certain villains. Too many shows have villains stay unknown and alive till the last episode and then we grg cliff deaths and random info dumps to try a quickly explain what the could have explained little by little since episode one.
