What I mean by that equation also is that it's like a balance.

Plot > Core character focus, plot driven story

Core character focus > Plot, character driven story

The Split so far has only increased the number of guest characters/ per episode amount. The writers increased the number of pointle--I mean quests or missions which they establish on an episodic basis. The action varies per episode. The core characters get less focus or just more diluted.

So, the only thing a splits have done is produce a pontentially lower quality story. So, the thing to help the split is greater core character focus or a stronger conflict. Don;t get me started on the suspension of disbelief the show has.
