This was the end of all direct involvement from showrunner David Greenwalt and in many way created a schism between this and the seasons that came before and those after. 0verall the feel and tone of the show took on a noticeable chance in Season 4. It was a lot to take in that I would no longer have the certainty of every season premiere/finale being written & directed by Greenwalt. Just as Joss Whedon having a less direct involvement in Season 6 of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, the same was felt here. I can understand Greenwalt's desire to move onto other projects, but there was so much missing from Season 4 as a direct result. 0nly until Season 5 being run by Whedon did this show gets Its old school mojo back. But I give props to Greenwalt for coming back to direct Season 5's THE GIRL IN QUESTION. Still too much to take on following the network breakup of both shows.
