Nick, I think, at least for me, it's just a case of the same thing over and over again.
I guess you can only come up with so much new stuff over 10 seasons, but it feels like a bunch of filler and pointless stuff that leads to nothing. To me the last several episodes are starting to feel like an extended season 2....lots of talk about feelings and a plot that is leading anywhere or keeping anyone hooked.
I'm not sure what anyone is looking for. Maybe we'd like to see the human struggle in a given situation, but there just isn't any of that. Morals are gone, unlike season 2. That's one thing that kept me coming back during 2...there was a moral/ethical debate at it's center. Not so much now, at least to me.
