[No Spoilers] In Defense of David & Dan

They didn't necessarily agree to write entire new seasons of the show. They agreed to adapt an existing story and (wrongly) assumed it would be complete by the time they were near finishing. While they probably should not have assumed this would be the case, it is somewhat reasonable to expect the author to have completed the story if he claimed he would.

They adapted the story very well, especially with one of them being something of a newcomer. What they didn't do well was writing based on their own pure storytelling skills once the material ran dry.

The second huge mistake they made was allowing George to retreat from the show. They should have listened to his advice more and kept him attached, but instead I think they found their heads a bit too far up their own bum.

We really ought to be laying the blame on the trio.
