I think the long break between Season 4 and Season 5 is what killed award momentum for the show. Still, the 4-year streak is impressive.

Yeah I mean if you're posting online about how the gap between something is too long, it means it isn't too long cos you're still thinking about it, and anyway as soon as the show is back on, it's on, and all that time it wasn't on doesn't really matter anymore. You slip back into it.

Damn excited for these final episodes!

Just to clarify - even if these promo images are new, everything we're about to see starting in April was filmed and finished over a year ago. Right?

Huh, I imagined Megan wouldn't be in the second half at all. Then again I thought so after the season 6 finale as well, but I'm not sure there is much worth showing left in that relationship now.

I'm a bit surprised that Megan will still be around...the last few episodes last year felt very much like the end of her story. That said, I like her so I'm pleased.

Whatever happens, it's going to be great. I'm going to miss this show terribly.
