They're back!", and that's super great. I just hope they don't mess it up.

It feels like a lot of the press for this season was very nostalgia-based, as opposed to last season's more clean slate approach. They did their season of the pendulum swinging towards New Fresh Start, now this year it swings back in favor of The Greatest Hits. I hope you're right, that is all a really smart mega-arc, but I'm just not that convinced. Still, I'd rather you be right than me be right!
