Ending a season with a flashback that drags on for ages—especially one nobody wanted—is a seriously bold move. Not bold in a groundbreaking, genius kind of way, but bold like wearing socks with sandals to a black-tie event. It’s like the writers looked at all the exciting plotlines and thought, “Nah, let’s rewind to something irrelevant and stay there... forever.” You’ve gotta respect the audacity, but man, it’s a wild way to test your audience’s patience.
