Season 4 pacing has been perfect imo. One more episode of season finale and there's been a lot of plot / reveal all season and the interaction with the so far main antagonist Man in yellow.

I will say part of me thinks the man in yellow is also just a player in the game with what's been said. His observance of various rituals and with him being sophia he's not some omnipresent figure. He doesn't know what's happening unless people tell him and on some level he has to make sacrifices for his 'magic' or whatever to work. I've also never seen him really interact with the nightmare face suckers cause he's only been seen eating people during the daytime.
 
Episode 9 of Nothing Ever Fucking Happens lives up the name. Was the set up for Fat Chick actually set up? Sure seemed like they pulled that out entirely of their ass, it actually made me kind of mad because it really did feel like the writers just up and decided to add something out of nothing.

I've recently been rewatching Lost and it's easy to draw comparisons between the two shows, they both rely on the mystery box premise. The thing is Lost was always doing something, even the worst of episodes (looking at you 'Jack gets a tattoo') there was a decent B plot of characters you gave a shit about were doing something. I just don't give a shit about the vast majority of these characters and the ones they do highlight are the least likeable.

This episode had minimal Donna, 3/10.
 
Season finale is frustrating in one sense...I want more.

If you're not watching and reading this you're retarded. But the fatima resolution is very satisfying to witness and the obvious but again satisfying "confrontation" between BIW and MIY at the end does add to the lore of this town lost in time.
 
Not too bad a season ending I suppose? I’m grading on a curve though at this point.
My biggest problem is that this whole season was poorly paced and plotted. A viewer could get by with just watching episodes 1, 5 and 10 of this season and not really lose anything.
 
I'm so pissed. I tolerated the nothing happening for nine episodes, thinking "surely this is building up to a great season ender where everything happens", and then the season ended with nothing happening! Victor didn't die, the yellow suit didn't get found out... Nothing happened except inconsequential red lightning. And the monster's mother is a monster.

Really feels like they had one season of plot left and decided to stretch it out into two.

Agreed the entire lake subplot served zero purpose. But I assume that and all of the story walking bullshit will be barely resolved in the final season after they introduce another half dozen red herrings. Thinking back they have a lot of weird plot lines to resolve since introducing time contrivances. Like the three people from the town ending up trapped in the lighthouse. As well as the idea there is someone above The Man in Yellow controlling everything. Since originally I thought he was the voice on the radio but after his/her reaction to the events of the final episode of season four I have doubt. If this all ends up being some play on "I Have No Mouth" I am going to loose it.
