   They constantly changed the story - important characters / ideas got thrown   
   out, unimportant characters / ideas suddenly became major ones, others were   
   put in and then dropped ... the whole thing was just messily made up as they   
   went along, and it definitely shows.

   Some were answered (either sensibly or stupidly), but a lot apparently   
   weren't.
