Impossible to follow has become the primary indicator that the show has jumped the shark.

Season 7 seems an attempt to revive or refresh the show by broadening the characters with the introduction of completely new story lines, but it all becomes a tangled mess.

I am currently trying to get through the fourth episode of the seventh season, but this is the third time I have stopped to wonder if I have missed something. Unfortunately, there is almost nothing to miss.

Catching up on Gold & Belle as a sort of epilogue is interesting, but another dark-curse dimension is not interesting.

Winding down existing story lines and developing existing characters to their natural conclusions is worth watching. Spinning out new plots and complicating them with new actors is nonsensical.
