Reception
Season 4 took a bigger and risker approach and went with the time travel route. Some users did not like this idea because it was executed poorly and thought the story was finding the way it was, while some were very excited for FSP to be implanting Time Travel. However, as the season began to progress many people started to believe that Season 4 contradicted many of the plot elements already established in the previous seasons.

'Lauren - "It's like they forgot what their story was. It's not very consistent and is really messy." - September 5th, 2020'

'Mackenzie - "Not too bad. Not too good. Needs a lot of work. The season would have done very well if not for that Time Machine idea." - August 18th, 2020'

XCalibur - "I wanted to enjoy it. But at the end of the day, this season only left me asking more questions than what it was intended to be. Isn't this supposed to be a prequel before everything else happens? " - September 14th, 2020

Because of the circumstances above: Season 4 is often regarded as one of the worst seasons of all time in the entire series, completely dethroning Season 2 in its place. It was criticized for its story, pacing, and violence (as sad it is, it's true).
