And no premiere of DWTS....
Fans especially the shippers also tend to think that if they scream loud enough the PTB and writers will go their way. What I have found is the PTB and writers go the direction that they wanted to from the start.
I think the craziness of this season, the hit and misses of the episodes is far more to do with the last minute move to Vancouver. I don't really have anything in particular as far as story lines that I want to see next season, but I do hope that the episodes are far more cohesive and fluid. This season it's been like they start the season over every episode. lol
