Did Helix Plan This Idiotic Story From The Start

Or have they been flinging every risible idea anyone even remotely associated with the production ever had against the wall in order to fill the running time?  Now Helix has been renewed, and I'm wondering if they have any frakking idea what to do now?  The whole thing feels like a very low-scale Lost, with inanity piled onto inanity because there was not enough idea to go around.  Ronald D. Moore is famous for being a complete idiot and having no idea what to do with a story or even how to manage a production.  Maybe there was one decent idea in there, but whichever one it was, the producers didn't have enough power to make it work, so they went for the dog's breakfast of laughable, cheap tee vee.  Meegwun Fairbrother is good, though, kinda like the Chief Tyrol of this thing.  And Hiroyuki Sanada is always watchable--like Michael Hogan.
