Agreed.

Now sad and pissed.

I would disagree on the severity of the drop. It did drop, and clearly wasn't as good as before, but it didn't go off a cliff. It had a (I'd argue mostly bad) season. And I wouldn't really, purely, say that.

I would say it wasn't satisfying. It didn't seem to pay off. The characters had arcs and developed, matured, but it just seemed like the writing/eps weren't as good despite that.

I would say more let-down and less shark-jump...

I've watched since day one. It's definitely on a down swing but it's happened before then it comes back.
The Ian gay boys story line is horrible. Kev and V have kinda jumped the shark. Frank is in a lull. The older he gets the less funny Carls thing is. Deb is nasty and too close to actual white trash.
Fiona's bra and panty dance is the best thing about her right now.
That and seeing Lip's chicks naked is the highlight of some episodes.

Looking back I see I'm a season behind.

I pretty much agree with all of this. To me Fiona is no longer that hot; She needs to eat a sandwich or two. My favorite character on this show by far is Svetlana. That scheming Russian knows how to play the game. Kev: Is that a dead body in that bag? Svetlana: I don't think she's quite dead yet.

Knew where that was going as soon as the geezer didn't recognize her.

And speaking of Kevin, saw Steve Howey in two episodes in a row on Seal Team. Wonder if he's about to jump ship, or if he's just multitasking.

The guy that plays Ian stayed even though he joined Gotham .
