ok i dont want to maintag but just finished s4 of tdp and is it just me or was it kind of wack??? (spoilers in tags)

#like i love terry. i thought viren was pretty good. ezran was great and soren was pretty good too #but everyone else just like???? felt completely ooff #which is so weird bc i feel like this show usually has such a pulse on these characters #and as someone who didnt read any of the tie in novels i felt completely lost re: rayla and callum which is. wack. #the last ep or 2 also lost me. so much deus ex machina for no reason. #why is there a lemur. #the season is called the mystery of aaravos and yet hes barely in it #and it feels like there is hardly any payoff for anything #also i feel like they did claudia so dirty like she was such a compelling character so why did her motivations change to be completely wack #in that scene with soren #i liked the amaya and janai plot but it felt so disconnected from everything #idk man i havent rewatched it in a while but s1-3 were just. good. tight writing and characters. the humor pretty much always fell flat #but thats finr #but like. ????? #wack. #bee post #the last episode is almost comical with how many fakeouts and deus ex machina there is like im sorry but i cant take it seriously #maybe i really am too old for this. watching a show at 15 wont be the same as watching a show at 19. #but like part of why i liked tdp so much was bc it never felt like it was talking down to its audience???? it told it how it was!! #like it treated the audience like it was smart and it would catch onto nuances and here its just #cheap tropes and characters that are all over the place #am i going insane??? #ok anyway give me a few days to be salty about it and then i will calm down probably
