I actually LOVED those because despite being formulaic, the earlier episodes were able to tie in the MOTW story with the brother's story arc

Yeah, exactly, i wouldn't call that exactly formalistic! It is, in the sense that there's a structure beign reused, but not in the sense that it is done thoughtlessly or without depth!

In contrast, the MOTW episodes in recent seasons have been almost ALL filler (which is a big pet peeve of mine for the obvious reasons, but also because then it leaves plot-heavy episodes with too much to do, and throws the pacing all off. Grrrr)

Yessss :-(

part of that is that it seems like J2 only work like 3 days a week now


Oh, wow, I didn't know that! Good for them, perhaps. At least they hopefully get to spend some more time with their families have wild four-way orgies sorry, six-way orgies pursue other projects.


Which is good for them, but I wish the writers would be able to write the scenes they DO have in a more meaningful way.

YES!

And I'm going to friend you now because it seems like you have an interesting viewpoint on the show :)

Aww, thanks for the compliment :)
Friending right back :)
