To Baghead: I never said there wasn't a story, but the story in Darwin's Yearbook is a means to an end; it exists as contextualization for the clipshow.

I personally see no reason to see Darwin's Yearbook. Very little of the original staff is on board, and from what I have seen, it's not particularly engaging nor does it actually seem interested in picking up any supposed plot threads, but hey, I'm glad that you're able to get into it! It means the special is doing its job; don't let my jadedness ruin that for you!

To Africannative: I wouldn't say the writers have lost their mind; they're still very talented and creative even if they have been pretty bad about the relationships on the show. Still, as mentioned by another person in the comments, it's something I would love to see the writers answer to if they were ever to do an AMA of sorts.
