I think they were inevitably going to run into this problem because the show was slow for too long. It needed to better balance the action/talking throughout the series. They tried to build up too many plot/character storylines and obviously didn't have the time or resources to fully develop them.

So they did a complete reversal of the show which was never going to work when you decide to throw characters and plot out the window. There are so many irrational choices made in these last two seasons that it just gives you a headache.
