I totally agree. I think it is a really big gamble. They might get a small number of new people to check out a live version of Elsa, but does anyone really think that they will stick around? I can barely keep up with everyone’s motivations and pasts….I can’t imagine trying to get into this show during the fourth season.
But it’s more than that. I think that they have really dropped the ball the last half of the third season. It used to be about learning about a small group of people and how they interconnect, how they relate to one another and change. Now it all feels gimmicky to me, and all the gimmicks are taking away from the core cast. I will bet Elsa is going to take a lot of screen time away from the core, and that is just going to make me not want to watch
