I wonder if they stopped pulling their punches once they realized that their ratings were tanking. Because really, when you're going down the toilet anyway, why not take chances with the storytelling?

I've long since stopped believing showrunners who claim they know Everywhere the story's going. They're always lying.

And I'm also cranky because they swore at WonderCon they had the whole cast back and we still haven't seen Gale. Pffft.
