 I'm just going to ignore the writer's canon &

stick to my own headcanon if things don't turn out the way I'd like them to. 

I would say the writers don't go out of their way to make a bad show. I mean, why would they want to hope that their show sucks? Of course, there are more than a few instances in which I can't figure out what they saw in their material.

@Number62 I'm sure they're very  much trying to make a satisfying conclusion to this show, but I'm baffled as to why they this is what they think that looks like.
