I guess I have the mindset that it could be all sorts of things. Maybe some staff they can't do without was in the hospital, or had a family emergency, or gave birth etc. Any that sort of thing can cause delays and frankly is none of our business.
Or maybe there were ready to go and the guys that give the green light were being a pain, or maybe Takeuchi had some demands, the reasons that could be go on and on.
It's not like they're saying to themselves, "gee, wouldn't it be funny to bait the fans? Teehee."
Some of the time was definitely on discussion on where to go from season 3, because -- this is not a knock on Crystal, just being matte of fact here -- Crystal was not as successful as they hoped it would be, so there would've been some talks on how to get that success they hoped for in the first place.
