This Show's Writing Is Lackluster/Bad. Too Much Travelling.

While I will not say this story has the best writing ever I will say some stuff in defense of the show.

1) that’s just a Hanna-Barbers esq writing. It may not be what you like but people like this type of stuff. Gives us something different to watch every week.

2) I feel like my point for number 1 kinda covers this to some extent, though I will add that these characters, while maybe not a whole lot, add to the depth of the world and make it seem like it’s not some closed in story.

3) what they’re doing right now is trying to recover from incorrectly using his character last season and I will agree it’s not coming off the best but they are trying. I for one am waiting for them to make him extremely dangerous again.

4) Most of the time they’ve spent either being misguided due to lack of information or they’ve had a goal to accomplish. I mean we don’t know they in’s and out’s of how boats and trains travel. And as for why they didn’t follow the track they fell down a hill and I know they almost certainly could have gotten back up, what about Yang’s bike, or their luggage?

5) Multiple answers 1) their phones for the most part are essentially useless for long distance communication due to the events of season 3 and 2) letters take forever to get places, plus with the boarder closing who knows if hey can even get letters there.
