I've watched the show since the beginning and was really interested to see how it would transition without Rooster. I thought that was thoughtful and right. The only thing that is not in constant strife is the Dad softening. It would be nice to enjoy the characters for just a bit without over the ever present life altering drama. The new baby was great and so short lived...but things can't be positive for even a minute...couldn't the season have stayed happy for a little while longer?
