I remember being very frustrated by the first half of S4 as it originally aired, but about halfway in (Lethal Weapon onward) it got better, IMO. It still didn't compare to the earlier seasons, but there was some decent stuff in there. I think the writers just all got whacked on the head and started doing some lunkheaded things. There were also reports that ABC was dictating a lot of what should happen as far as story arcs. They really did have to chase ratings and sometimes the stories suffered because of it. ;(
Many fans were happy when L&C got together. One noticeable difference in season 4, though, was that L&C kissed a lot less than in season 3. I mean, what the heck? Hello! But I don't know who to blame for that... the writers? The directors?
