I really like season 4. Though I think its more that as I got older (aka out of my gawky early 20’s existence) the more I appreciated that season.

It’s not my favorite season, but it certainly has its strengths- and I agree, its worst weaknesses tend to be all the untapped potential there- though I wonder how excellent it might’ve been if Lindsay Crouse could have been there throughout the season. The strengths of the Initiative plot seem to me to be tied to Riley’s arc (Goodbye Iowa still blows me away with the “what could have been” of the arc), but there just isn’t enough of it? Idk. I’d love to see an analysis of Adam and his function in the series sometime, giving me better perspective on how he makes the plot work (if he does at all).

There are definitely a couple of seasons that become more enjoyable with age, I think- S4 and 6 come to mind, and maybe S7, too. Though I don’t know if that’s about existing within the season’s frame of mind or just more time to allow it to settle in your head.
