This is crazy talk, Striking Vipers was the only episode that was at the level of a not-very-good episode from prior episodes(visually interesting in the tiny amount of the episode that happened in the game, well acted, Black Mirror style premise about tech and relationships).
Smithereens would be a bad episode of whatever the British NCIS is. Just a played straight hostage story with no hook or interesting characters. Even if the Miley episode had been a San Junipero level classic this would still be by far the worst season.
Season 4's
bottom three was Crocodile, Arkangel, and Metalhead. All of those were better than every episode this season.
