That meant starting with a three-year time jump, which allowed Seitzman to hit reset on the core characters.

The problem is that storytelling is more often than not about conflict, so its about frustrating the audience.

The question thats asked of her is, Who are you?

If this season has a theme, its often about her figuring that out.

I feel like we kept everything you love, and we left everything you dont.
