^^^ This.

Besides, you can't truly plan specifically too far in advance. When you start developing a show, of course you have a broad outline of what's going to occur, and specifics for each season, but as the seasons go on and the show goes on, those plans have to change. Maybe a character takes a different path than originally expected. Maybe an actor that was meant to have a big role is not available the next season. Every show has to adapt to these things. It's not bad writing or poor planning, it's the fact that you can't set things in stone.
