I feel like, up until episode 3x12, the writing was actually really cohesive and good. I think the break (the hiatus of doom during Christmas) messed up alot of things for them (pacing-wise). Just my opinion, of course. :shrug:
I do really hope that Season 4 is the last season, too. :nod:
But I will really miss seeing Blake's face every week. :bawl:
