You know, if I wasn't absolutely sure that S5B - or S6, whatever you want to call it - would be the last - the ratings are atrocious! - I would be actually tempted to drop the show because S5A was a huge, HUGE disappointment for me. Out of the 13 eps, 2 at the most were actually interesting. The rest was a bore, the same storyline on repeat week in, week out.
The whole Audrey/Mara thing should've been solved in 6 episodes tops and I still can't believe that Duke was dumb enough to ( spoilers! ) Like what the hell, OOC much? These three - Audrey, Nathan and Duke - have been to hell and back together and since Duke dropped his macho "I'm a bad guy and I don't need you" act in S2 and actually made up to Nathan all the horrible things he had done to him as a child, they always, ALWAYS had each other back. So, Duke's sudden mistrust, the fact that he actually ( spoilers ) was absolutely unbelievable. Also, I used to like Dwight? Now, I almost can't stand him. From a great ally he turned into a dictator. IMO, the writers dropped the ball big time this season.
There WERE some awesome OT3 moments over the course of the season when I felt like pointing at the screen and yelling, "YES, YES, THAT'S THE SHOW I FELL IN LOVE WITH!" but they were few and far between. I hope the writers do better next time and give us a great last season and a satisfying finale.
