User blog comment:Mattalamode/A Season 5 Retrospective Review: The Problem Child/@comment-29346007-20171109015229/@comment-31194372-20171109053305

It's kind of hard to fault the show for not choosing to keep trying narrative storytelling, in all honesty; that's not the core of the show. I say that "The Disaster" and "The Rerun" cornered the show a lot, but it's even true here; without much narrative fulfillment since, Season 5 feels hollow despite staying faithful to how the show operates, more than less.

Also, I definitely think it's worth rewatching Season 5, especially because the beginning of it feels so long ago and so far removed from where we're at now; even upon looking back, I found out that I was giving a relatively unfair assessment because my mind was stuck thinking about the admittedly-far-weaker second half while ignoring everything that the first half did right.

Get writing, bro!
