Yeah. Lydia's storyline this season made me sad (when she wasn't lying at Eichen it was all about Parrish), and last season (which I actually liked otherwise) wasn't great for her either. Seasons 2 and maybe even 3 were the best for her.
I'm not usually against huge casts because yeah, LOST had a massive cast and new characters were added all the time, but somehow it worked cause the general pacing of the actual plot was slower, so it took its time to give each character some depth, usually with flashbacks. TW on the other hand is much more rushed and plot-centric so the characters feel like plot devices and we don't really learn that much about the new ones and if something interesting emerges (like Liam's anger issues - I actually liked him better that way, now he's so basic :c ) it's quickly forgotten and the character is dulled down. But this might be a minority opinion cause TW has a lot of fans who want characters to be perfectly likeable, while here I am still thinking Peter Hale is the best :D annd I actually love Malia, so, not a typical fan.
I'm sad you missed theiconquest! It was really something. I participated, but not as much as I would have liked to, the lack of deadlines made it hard for me to get anything done in any decent time lol. But this won't be a problem at the new comm. I'm super excited and hope I'll have enough time to enter some of the challenges as well as keep up with this project, enter 20muses occasionally and write my thesis... but anyway I mostly joined for the social aspect, I'd love to chat with my teammates sometimes and get to know other iconers better :)
