I think that it was important that the show focused on its core cast after the previous season spent so much time on guest characters. I also think that the only people who thought 5A was the worst were anti-CSers. Let's not generalize with absolutes. XD

There are a lot of pros and cons with every season/ half-season. Each could define "worst" in their own way based on differing criteria. Some could be sensitive to dropped storylines/pay-off and proclaim that 5A is worst due to them really looking forward to pay-off. Some could be turned off by lazy storytelling like "vial of magic", "Don't use your magic. It's DARK now!", or "Something, something, you're a Dark One...now, you've suddenly went all evil". Some see various distractions like Brave and consider that a huge damper over other Disney inserts.

I'd change pretty much everything I listed (though I don't claim 5A being the worst). Point is, let's not label and over-generalize.
