I'll agree that his terror of berserkers seemed to come from nowhere -- like, it didn't even start until a couple episodes later, if I remember correctly. It felt like they were like "what are we doing with Liam for the rest of the season?" and then they were like "Oh, how about this!" It made sense to me, but it wasn't particularly well done in terms of telling the arc. It was one of several things this past season where it seemed like they had too much to tell so they just decided not to tell some of the more important parts.

And that -- bringing us squarely back onto the original topic :P -- is one of the issues with having so many new characters each season. It means the writers have too much to tell and all of the stories suffer because of it.
