I def think the dullers eps may seem better on re watch, sometimes all it takes is one good call back that I may have missed the first time to make a 1 minute dud scene awesome.

I thought the biggest problem S4 were the scenes with everyone together - maybe it was rushed because of scheduling, people's egos have changes, no one recognized Portia, w/e, but the chemistry just didn't seem to be there. That is a big change from the old seasons where family parties were always amazing. Also not enough maibe for me.

OTOH, they get soo much more out of Ron Howard, longer eps are great (maybe only George sr seemed too long?), all hail AD. If this is it I doubt another 50+ep show can ever do much better.
