The TDA storylines would have been good with a new cast. That was the creative team's big mistake--shoehorning the original cast into new storylines that didn't fit them instead of bringing in new characters.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: TDA was okay on its on merits (although I still consider it the weakest season to date), but a new or mostly-new cast would have avoided most of TDA's problems.
