Season 4 came roaring like a thunder - bringing the same magic, but switching to a more mature and darker tone. The episodes are long, I mean, super long, but the season steamrolled through the first five episodes. It all comes together nicely at the end, but loses a lot of momentum by episode 6 - It feels as though the show creators decided to over indulge us with lots of detail and excessive (often mushy) character interactions. I would have prefer a more tightly knit storyline and faster pace, but I had no trouble investing myself in these characters amid all the chaos and spectacle.
