First, the new opening graphics threw me for a bit. It definitely telegraphed that the show is going in a different direction. Next, the copious cursing continues from the end of last season. The writing had been good enough not to need so much of the colorful language. Which brings up the current writing, where is the intelligent back and forth banter that we are accustomed to? I had always considered this a smart show but now it's coming into question. I know this is just the first episode of the season after a major personal change in one of the stars, but the producers had said that they were well prepared in advance for this change. Hopefully this isn't the extent of their preparation...
