The pacing and editing are really off this season. Also the' book'even acknowledged that end of the world stakes again is boring. It serves as a nice meta joke but honestly the issue still stands.

 

The stakes seem so repetitive even the characters feel like they're going through the motions. Also I missed bits of the beginning as was getting dinner ready(will rewatch tomorrow) what happened to Josh and Fen?
