"These writers are beyond unimaginative. It's all they know how to do. It doesn't make the show interesting. It's just a cheap gimmick in order to fill the season with fluff."
I definitely agree with you there, I'm beyond sick of the filler. I really don't think Gimple has any end goal for the show, he's just milking it for what it's worth, popping out gimmicks to keep people watching. What also drives me nuts is how back-and-forth the characters are. They jump between extremes in their viewpoints, with no clear transition. A character says "A" one episode and "B" the next. And it seems to me that whenever a character starts to become a moral compass, especially if it happens suddenly, you can pretty much bet that they're going to die soon. It's like Gimple thinks, "Okay, so we're killing off this character. Quick, we gotta make sure the audience warms up to them right before they go--that way their death will be sadder!" It's contrived and amateurish.

Your last point is spot on. The writers may as well come out and say, "hey, we're killing this character." The change in personality is so awkward, you know they're going to die. I thought that type of writing went out years ago. It's pathetic. That also goes hand in hand with the other personality changes. The characters are only the characters by name now. Their personalities change so drastically it's unnatural and unbelievable. These writers are one trick ponies, but the trick boring and the ponies are lame.
