This whole season seemed largely like a stall. Or, more accurately, like a big, long set up to the Terminus storyline season. There were definitely some worthwhile substories this season. "The Grove" was disturbing, intense, and well-done. Contrast that with the whole "I need a drink" episode, which constituted an hour of my life that I won't get back.
It really just felt like this season was largely a bunch of semi-inconsequential stuff that happens while we slowly march toward Terminus-- whereas Terminus feels like the story the writers were actually interested in telling all along.
