Unless they start over from scratch after the mid-season finale (and raise Lincoln from the dead), there isn't any hope left for this season (except maybe the ALIE plot; that's been good for the most part). Sadly I think the writers started to believe their own positive reviews after season 2 and tried to compete with the Game of Thrones aspects, but they dont have the time or budget to make that succeed on the scale that they want. I am definitely not a fan of JR's interactions on twitter...it reminds me of Julie Plec and Vampire Diaries and how that sort of fan service bs is what took that show from decent to a total joke. But I don't watch this show for ships like some fans on twitter seem to.

Though I am not as negative about this season as you are (and granted they still get positive reviews and solid numbers for CW, and will probably be renewed for a season 4 at least) as I think there are still some very strong elements they are working with on the show. The ALIE storyline and tying that into the thirteenth station Polaris/Polis is really good stuff and keeps them in tune with the elements I think work better with this show which is the science fiction. And this particular story arc reminds me of great scifi like Battlestar Galatica. I am very intrigued by this upcoming episode with the 13th station backstory being a main plot point.
