Not trying to piss anybody off by mentioning this, but sometimes even they don't know how to write a story it seems. They do know how to write a story, though. They wrote Volume 3 which, by nearly all accounts, was fantastic, and Miles has written for RT in the past (and done fine work if you ask me). The problem, in my opinion, with Volume 5 was that they simply weren't that passionate about that particular story arc. And when a writer isn't passionate about a story arc, it usually ends up rushed, which Volume 5 absolutely was.

I've seen better writers than Miles and Kerry do the exact same thing. The glaring example that comes to mind is season 3 of Dexter. The first two seasons (and season four) were masterpieces, but man that third season was a trainwreck. Sometimes even great writers just get themselves stuck in a plotline that doesn't resonate with them. And the results are usually terrible. Just my two cents.
