I could NOT possibly agree more with every word you have placed here, Trae, except to say that words like "vile" & "horrific" are simply not strong enough words. Sadly no words exist to convey the level of disgust we feel, and many others should.
I think your mentioning of Aaron Sorkin leaving the West Wing is somewhat illustrative of why fans are harder pressed to put up with this sort of thing. That was a perfect example of a blatantly noticable change in the rhythm, tone, and overall feel of a show without it's originator.
In this case, it is bad enough that they would choose to replace him, but it is far worse that they would allow for it to happen without him being told properly.
I think perhaps that is why so many... I don't want to say fail as such, but cannot think of a better word. The importance of the craft of writing is placed above a trust in the characters (or development thereof) to take the writer on the journey. I have found myself all-too guilty of this often.
I thoroughly enjoyed this insight into he creative writing process. This is the sort of character development that is rarely considered by those that don't write, or by those that teach any sort of creative writing. Thanks!
