...feeling of being rushed and disjointed is specifically *because* the final season was split up. They had to shoot and edit both seasons at totally separate times which naturally lends itself to a feeling of inconsistency. Had the crew had the option to write it as one full season and edit everything all in the same time period this may not be an issue.

I mean, I'm just firing off my own thoughts here, I really have no idea, and for all we know this will all add up to something great at the end of the season...but right now it does seem pretty poor. We may slightly disagree on who's to blame for the disjointedness but we at least both agree that it is poor so far.
