Well, well, I can't believe it's been almost two years since I've seen season 3. I also had no recollection on how that last one went or ended for that matter. It's been that long. My last post dates from March 19 2020. That's the beginning of the pandemic. But it indeed lasted as long as it did since season 4 and 5 got aired back to back last fall. So I have 28 episodes to get through.

So suddenly we're 18 months further in the timeline. Like I said, I had not recollection whatsoever where season 3 ended so I had no idea where this was going. I felt this one was quite basic when it comes down to the plot. They're just getting recruited to do a mission and as so it happens the guy had bought Phoenix so they could re-emerge. Or maybe that was just to keep it simple. An simple easy relaxed start of the season. I've only seen one episode so far but I've got the feeling the mood on set is a lot relaxter now that Lenkov is gone. It's an absolute breath of fresh air they finally stepped off of squeezing three storylines in these 45 minute episodes. Also I couldn't believe I totally missed Xander Berkeley. I thought there was someone I knew but I didn't place it. I was also very tired actually. But in all I did like the episode and I sure welcome Russ Taylor and the actor with open arms. "See you in the next life brother."

Lenkov was still showrunner for Season 4 (and for a handful of episodes filmed for Season 4 but airing in Season 5).

But they had brought on Terry Matalas as Co-Showrunner and Lenkov was busy with Magnum PI, so I'm assuming he was less involved. I think he was only on set once or twice for Season 4.

Didn't they fire him?

They did.

They filmed Season 4 and had to go on hiatus early in April 2020 due to the pandemic; in the middle of filming Episode 4x20. CBS cut the Season short and only aired 13 episodes; keeping the "leftover" episodes for Season 5.

In July, Lenkov was fired and a new showrunner brought in. So she had to deal with Lenkov's "leftover" episodes and put in her new episodes in between. Although Season 5 got 15 episodes, she only got to be showrunner for 7,5 or so. The rest of 4x20 was filmed half a year later and was aired as Episode 5x09. And I think parts of the Season 4 Finale were re-worked into Episode 5x03.
