And they're so smugly proud of it, as if they don't realise that the reason people are surprised by where they're taking the story isn't that it's brave and challenging but really obviously bad and lazy writing.
Oh, and I get annoyed by this in general. It seems to happen in later seasons of shows, where the writers just talk about how brilliant everything is, and how this is the natural progression of the story line (and how if you don't like it, you're just not *getting* it). Instead of, you know, it just being bad writing. I remember being baffled by one interview that came out after last year's finale, which was particularly talking about Dexter/Deb. The writers were just so set on the story line, and kept going on about how ~important Deb's new feelings that had always been there for Dexter were.
