I'm still scratching my head over how DH and/or Joss thought that this was a good idea especially executed the way it has been without even a stab at explanations. I don't know what DH was thinking. I can't help that Joss's thought process may have been passive-aggressive issues with his most famous and most successful project, the way that it holds on even as his newer, younger babies (that never got old enough to disappoint him) died. Ubi4soft linked to that quote where Joss called it an albatross, and I can't help but think that sentiment shows.
