Maybe they got tired of doing it?

Decided to make a season so bad nobody would ever return? Seasons 1-3 are great and season 4 is a long boring slog with a bunch of characters you don't care about after the writers decided to go "woke."

Many have already said the aforementioned in many reviews here.... but I am a completist and struggling through, while really disliking it. Reason I write this is to warn others... it gets worse. After enduring 7 tortured episodes to date, episode 8 is actually not bad, although they choose to get rid of the only interesting characters.... so I am thinking, maybe a strong finish? NO!

Episode 9 takes any interest built in episode 8, and throws it out the window with some weird black and white flashback for the entire episode, with new characters we couldn't care less about. It's almost as if they said, "how can we lose anybody remaining.... let's do an unconnected, all B&W hour with a new story". What's next? Maybe an entire episode in claymation spoken in Italian, with subtitles?

Think the creators are done and want to make sure the former audience never asks for more....
