Yes, I think you could be right. Perhaps I'm being a little harsh in my
*****sment of season 4. I'm just a bit concerned about the prospects
for season 5 in this area of teen angst, as I know they introduced a lot
more of it in this season than they did in previous ones. It's almost as
if they were setting the stage for how it's going to be. I hope I'm
wrong.
