Copy of Document Plot Armor
slibby-4000330 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
When it came to issue of getting copy of agreement in the safe it is hard to believe NONE of these people thought to just take the HP printer/scanner/copier that was used to copy the document. Most copiers actually have something of a hard drive on them.

Otherwise, it's a good episode that moves a lot of things along, a lot of bang for the buck. But it runs into one of my common criticisms of this show. Comedy at sacrifice of real story. Not to be too critical, but The Spyros character, while comically great, difficult to believe they would keep him around, much less count on him to be a capable actor in an true deception.

No character wasted

I think what I love about this show is the character writing. Each person serves a purpose to drive the plot forward. Like an intricate chess game. And just when you think someone has been gone or not as important, they step into the foreground again and make their purpose known. Superb show.

Bad writing
coffeemaddan11 October 2023
Really can't wait for this season to just end. The characters have lost their consistency and the plot is a tangled mess. Feels like the 'B' team were drunk when this was sketched out.

The revenge plot has lost depth and the actions of the characters are not a natural arc from previous seasons.

Each and every one of the regular cast have been turned into dumb, highly flawed individuals. There's no sense of subtlety or smart humour. It's more akin to a poorly scripted soap or drama.

Like lots of other productions, it feels like the rookie writers were let loose and they've really destroyed this for me. I don't think I'll be binging the 5th season... I'm done.
