[QUOTE="tommie, post: 416699, member: 370"] Yes, exactly. You'd kind of expect she would've just, I don't know, just tried cutting back on her own? It felt like they skipped a step in the storyline. The slow build up would've been nice, but it feels like they skipped the entire middle of the story. What's frustrating with season 8 is that I don't necessarily disagree with what they're trying to do, because in many ways it was right to try and cut back, ground it and try to center the story. But getting rid of Ana Alicia was a mistake. I thought going back to having a conflict with the working class on the yards wasn't a bad idea per se, but I think they probably introduced too many Ortegas at the same time. Same with the Agrettis really - in hindsight, we probably should've seen more of the Agretti family at this point in the show, but introducing them as Melissa exited just made them feel further disconnected.
