Every choice you make as a writer, boxes you in, limiting what you can do future.

And that’s not a bad thing.

It just means you’re developing your characters, establishing who they are, and fleshing out your story.

Simply, the further you get in the story, the less flexibility you have.

The problem is that when you continually make bad choices, it’s very hard to write your way out of them without changing who your characters are or breaking continuity.

So I would be very surprised if they turn it around.

It’s just frustrating to me that a story which has shown the ability to be so deep, literally universe expanding, and action packed, spends significant amount of time on random characters well beings (like the refugees on Ilas all of season 4). The entire plot line of the colonizers, the big bad company guy coming to take their land, and all of the issues on that planet, could have been done just as effectively in 2-3 episodes instead of 10
