It could definitely be a good thing. But it could also be a very bad one. I seem to remember it floating around that the reason they split s3 into two 12 el arcs was because it turned out to be too hard to do a 24 ep story arc and 'they' (which i'm assuming to really mean Jeff) were more comfortable with twelve episode arcs. Which may have been to some extent due to Colton Haynes and Gage Golightly leaving and having to rework the story last minute. But we don't know if that's true, that's just speculation.
