That's my exact same sentiment! I like how you think, dude. Angels had skewed and lopsided judgment and prioritization of their concerns, Season 8 arc has been dropped almost completely, and Kevin and the tablets are barely seen (for a character that is supposed to be central for seasons focusing on tablets, that's really bad!). Hopefully the mid-season finale would more than make up for it, and herald the start of a better half-season. Otherwise, at this rate, plot progression would be almost as slow as Season 7. Season 6 was noisy and messy, but at least we know things are actually happening--and they all tied up nicely in the second-half.
