The writers were originally planning to kill him off, and really, it showed.
I didn't know that! Makes sense, and it clarifies a lot.
I hear Chibnall is leaving for good (and it really is for good; that is, I think it's worth celebrating). I'll probably wait for reviews of the first episode or so. If the new characters don't hit an Owen-style low, I may well tune in.
