File me under cautious optimism for S4.
Its no secret that S2 is one of my favorite seasons of television - so fucking perfect. Its also no secret that S3 managed to almost destroy my love for the show completely (unequivocally dire opening eps, beating the long dead Chuck/Sarah angst horse, Shaw, near character assassination of Chuck by making him a completely unlikable douche for most of the season, Jeffster and their performances feeling "off", etc.), but they managed to pull out of the descent in the final few eps (Tic Tac and Honeymooners being among the cream of the series' crop).
So Im not as excited or as in love with the show as I once was, but I also feel confident that Schwartz and Fedak have learned from their S3 blunders and may well make a return towards the show I used to love so much.
