i miss when tv shows got upwards of 20 episodes/season. hate that we’ve spurned the value of “filler” episodes. not every episode needs to move the plot forward in a concrete way. i want character development. i want relationships to have time to grow and breathe. bring me the heads of every studio executive who killed long seasons with filler episodes for the sake of capital on a spike.

#this has been the downfall of wwdits tbh.#season five was overwhelmingly bad imo bc they didn’t have enough episodes #they tried to bring back filler episodes which I LOVE but bc they were limited to ten eps/season it destroyed the development of the plot #season 5 had a couple stellar episodes but as a whole the season fell flat and I was so unhappy with it #bc the writers were forced to choose between having fun with filler episodes or writing a cohesive plot w/ an ending that felt earned #they shouldn’t have to choose #tv shows should have be given enough episodes to do both.#op - who me?
