I have to say. I love that for the first time in a long we have a (what appears to be, anyway) season-long mystery. The unraveling of things isn't any slower than it was in seasons 1-4, it might even be a little bit faster than in some of them, because there's a new twist in every episode. Not to mention that the mystery is so layered, everything falls into place, with Chuck serving a purpose as an antagonist, with the ringing cell phone thingy eventually evolving into Ramón's family coming to town... even Susan's art story was brought in to help complicate matters. Every loose tie has been gradually dealt with, or apparently will be in the next few episodes. Even Katherine's mystery had some flaws to it, for example, and that was during the golden age of the show. I, for one, can't say enough good things about this season's mystery.
