You don't make a show into an onscreen experiment. That's not how it works. You're supposed to have thought it through thoroughly before its release. And we know from seasons like Island that they should be more capable than this in putting something decent together, so I can only speculate that they didn't even try to make this work or just threw it all together like a cheap glue job not caring about what consequences or implications it would have if it failed.
