I waited until tonight to watch this season because I was losing interest but it's redeeming itself already. The dialogue writing is as good/better than the show has ever seen; it's not so ham-fisted anymore. The acting seems better all around , too, but given what the actors have had to work with for the past several years, maybe the improved material is giving them a chance to shine. Characters that I had disliked in prior seasons actually had me reconsidering them. On top of all this, the pace has been great, although the show historically slows to a crawl after the first 3 or 4 epsisodes; time will tell.
I didn't know that they reworked the show from the inside out but it definitely shows.
