I was wondering if I should even post this entry, because the same things have been said so many times already. But apparently it's still necessary to repeat them over and over.

I can't even tell you how much I hope that you are right with your S4 parallel. Because that is exactly what I need to make this all be okay in the end. I really don't ask it to be the focus of the season, at all. But, like you say, I need to to BE THERE, and I need them to follow through with this. And without giving any spoilers away, because I know that you like to stay spoiler-free, but about 90% of what I'm hearing doesn't exactly make me confident that they will.
I'm not saying that all hope is lost. I'm just saying that I'm having a very hard time to trust in the show. I'm trying, but damn, it can be hard.
