having a big bad for a season and building the finale to a final fight with that big bad requires some filler episodes. They were there since season 1. But for season 4, there was no build up. Half way through the season, even Malia could turn out to be the final villain. The writer seemed to have no idea who the big bad would be at the end. There were multiple storylines going on; Malia's adaptation and family issues, the benefactor, Peter's vendetta, Kate's return, berserkers, hunters, etc. But he had no clue how to end them, so he just sort of did and was done with them. The benefactor, who turned out to be Meredith, was stopped with a key that came from a fake wine bottle, which Lydia found for some reason so stupid that I can't even remember. Kate didn't do a thing except killing that one dude in the gas station, which nobody even remembers. The only things this season added to the story was Liam and the name Desert Wolf. Rest was filler stuff. I could've watched 2 or 3 specific episodes in season 4 and still missed nothing. Less filler makes a better season. That's why s4 felt worse than the others. But it was still good in many ways.
