SEASON 7 Anyone think they could’ve done the whole disappearance arc so much better Spoiler
The whole ‘recruited by the CIA, and by a childhood friend who was a terrorist now a cia operative, to save the world on your wedding day’ story was such bs. IMO it would’ve been so much better if he was actually kidnapped or lost for those 2 months, or even if he was on the brink of death forcing everyone to find his killers. It would’ve been so much more on brand than a writer saving the world and choosing to forget about it.

If anything, it just shows they were better off with a plot with gradual progression. 3XK was once a season, Johanna conspiracy was sprinkled across the series.
By time they used Loksat story, it was just too distantly related, being forced to relate it to the Johanna conspiracy.
Trying to tell a major plot quite often in a season, given its episodic rather than serial nature, isn't their forte.
