^yeah there were several instances for me personally where I was like...where did that come from?...it felt like they hadn't even investigated it and yet they automatically had the answers.

You may have hit the nail on the head with "maybe they are heading in another direction"...S3A felt like a transitional season...I guess Jeff alluded to it being as much when he said that what happened would open the door for a new direction for the show (I'm paraphrasing that...too early to remember of look up exact quotes lol) but anyway it felt much different than S1 and S2.
