S4 In Retrospection

So, I kind of took a semi-break from the show and fandom over this hiatus for various reasons. I mean, I re-watched S1-4, but that’s about it. No fanart, no metas, barely some fanfiction and only the odd discussion here and there. But the hiatus is nearing its end (where did it go?!), and I am slowly trying to get back in the swing of things, so I thought a general meta about S4 is a good starting point, especially since I had that one on my to-do list all summer. Usually I do a midseason compare&contrast about the current season and the one that came before, but S4 went into the winter hiatus with Heaven and Hell, which I hated so fiercely that I felt disconnected from the show and it left me with no interest in writing up a meta. I hope this little essay makes up for that negligence. :)
