That's the nature of this kind of show. They are writing it as they go and they constantly have to balance the overall story with the realities of working with real actors as well as gaging and adjusting to audience reaction. They mentioned that with the big hiatus this season, they're writing and shooting episodes further in the future than they have in previous seasons and it's been a challenge to not have that more immediate audience reaction to help steer them.
