I can almost excuse a mid season break if the season were more than 8 episodes. I really miss the days of 26 episode seasons of shows. You really got to get to know characters back then. Now I feel like I watch a whole season of a show and then forget almost everything that happened in it as soon as it’s over.
Right?! I also think those “filler” episodes gave writers an opportunity to try to stuff out and see what stuck. I get that that’s way more costly in animation but… Yeah. Like both chunks of this season I kept thinking “I know this is really cool but I entirely forget why”
