PP sounds like a nut job. CdP was treated like crap because she did not want to go past season 11 while Harmon/Glassbag were trying to move Weatherly out after season 11. They tried ramming contracts down her throat and basically had a gun to her head all June. In this case, Harmon did not want a repeat disaster and tried hard to make PP happy on her way out. Yet she still acted that way. She is mental.
Carter was out of gas by season 9. He had IWTB, 16 TV episodes to fire it back up. Didn't work. Then we wonder why Anderson was miffed and quit. You can go back home again, but CC doesn't know the directions.
I blame CC 75% for the failure 25% to the fans. It was the fans and their "motw" obsession that pressured CC into a outdated format. CC the idiot then destroys his entire mythology "the aliens just want nothing more to do with us junk" into 16 episodes of boring motw and a stripper down mythology based around William and Syndicate leftovers........Anderson was right, totally the wrong thing to do. Now it is dead for good.
