the writers actually said they're doing that on purpose this year... we got RF and episode 9 in season 1 with the Merry Christmas line...
in season 1 and 2 We the audience found out before the characters.. this season they said the characters will find out one by one before we do ....
I posted that article here some pages back
I guess, but there's only four episodes left in the Season.
I'm just wondering if they'll even have time to explain his backstory (and much less defeat him in a convincing way and wrap up the storyline) if they're not even going to reveal his identity until almost the finale. It'll be even worse if they wait all this time only for the reveal to be anticlimactic. But I digress...I'll wait and see how it goes, for them to wait this long they must be pretty confident the reveal won't be disappointing.
But I will say this, it better be a good reveal otherwise the writers are gonna get a lot of shyt for dragging it out this long.
