Though that seems like a harsh stance, I completely agree. People always want so many new characters (and that's not what this thread is about) and not once do I see someone ever talk about what they want the core cast to do and how their character would develop in that arc.

As I said, once the characters stop developing, the shpow ends. Can't throw more shiny things at it and expect it to work. Plus, Once only does popular and well-known things. I like the broad range of new shiny toys, but they aren't going to do 99 % of that because it makes no sense narratively and it really isn't that popular. The show is like a business. It's not doing what the hardcore consumers want, they are trying to do what it takes to attract new customers and keep the new ones they gain.
