This has ruined almost every storyline this season. The Clexa plot is boring and preachy and just all-around absurd (I've read much better Clexa fanfic that was more realistic than what we've been given). The Pike plot is illogical and ridiculously forced. I can't stand pretty much any of the characters, including Monty of all people! It's just an all-around bad story.

I can understand ans see what the writers intentions are, I just think the application of those intentions was sloppy. That said maybe they will find some way to surprise us, for that I will continue to give them the benefit of doubt. My doubt is no longer beneficial. This is Season Three, not Season One. Someone, somewhere should have been aware and seen all these holes and problems BEFORE they started filming. Sloppy and unprofessional and inappropriate for a THIRD season. It's laziness and shows a complete lack of care for the story or the characters (especially the characters) and is rude and insulting to the fans. We deserved so much better after such a long hiatus than this clunky, choppy mess.

This season has turned into a joke on us (and the way JR interacts with the fans makes me continually feel like I'm being punked or trolled by this show and/or network). 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).
