This is an absolute mess. Though I also heard TDROTI was delayed because they needed to rework it to avoid any unfortunate references to the 2011 earthquake in Japan, seeing how the season deals with a radioactive island when Japan experienced a meltdown. Or at least, that was the official story I heard. That at least sounded credible at the time.

But that said, man........is this how it operates on the inside? This is the environment that has given rise to all the frustrations we have with the series? Come on already, you need a team that can work together productively towards making something coherent and entertaining, and you need the time required to do it well. In order to make something good, it takes TIME. And in order to make sure the final product works, it takes cooperation as well as effort. All-Stars was a season that felt like it was flailing in every direction not having a clue what it wanted to accomplish, what story to tell, or how to tell them. Now we have a good idea of how something so broken emerged.
