   In fairness, Mr Templeton was probably operating on the assumption   
   that the overall plot of the series was going to make some sort of   
   sense.  If he'd started with the assumption "The writers are just   
   making up stuff with no plan whatever and no idea what to do", it's   
   not likely he'd have spent so much time trying to figure out what   
   their plan was.  You don't try to figure out a plan which you know   
   doesn't exist.   
      
   What they finally delivered was ridiculous on so many levels that I   
   doubt we can say anything was proved or disproved, except that you   
   shouldn't launch into a grand project with no clue where it's going,   
   because you might write yourself into a corner and have no way out.   
   Then you'd have to make up magical resurrections of characters you   
   killed and then poof them out once you're finished with them, and   
   do other moronic things.
