Yeah, I guess. It's kinda sad 'cause S8 was all about big changes while returning to the show's roots. Musa and Riven could've been one of those big changes; just have him attempt to win Musa over, Musa remains unsure if he's really changed and if she's just trying to get back with him so she won't feel lonely whenever her friends have their boyfriends around, and ultimately have Musa reaffirm what she did in the last season: that their breakup wasn't a mistake and that they shouldn't be together. Riven could accept those feelings by the end and stay with the Specialists because he still has a place to come back to, regardless of whether or not Musa takes him back.

But considering how hard it sounds like they're pushing yet another romantic reunion, I guess it is too late. I know it's ridiculous but I was really hoping they'd do something along those lines. It also doesn't help that they're pulling Diaspro out from her Romantic Hindrance Shelf yet again (so it's not like they were lying all that much about a return to roots, huh).
