Yep I was quite disappointed with the whole Hollow Earth story arc. When they discovered the virtual city in the library and then the actual city in Pax Romana I was like : wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww !!!!!! But then I felt like it was wrapped up in 5 seconds and they moved on to something else... I think it had potential and I wish it had been developed more.
But I also think that we have to get used to seeing Hollow Earth / The Five and our favourite actors less and less because of budget issues. If we get a season 5, that would probably be with just a few regular characters and more standalones, because that would be cheaper.
And I agree with what you said about Will (and we can add Abby and her colleague to the list). They are just stupid and unbearable. If I were not a fan of the show and just wanted to give it a shot I would probably not try again to watch it because of the new characters (+ Will who's been SO disappointing!).
Still, I think standalones are better for the ratings (if they're good, of course...) but I prefer story arcs. Unfortunately, at that point - after 4 season and especially after all the poor episodes of the 2nd half of Season 3 - I don't see how the show could recover.
