It's a question of intent and you have explained this well. As soon as they began to 'think' about a direction for the characters they lost their way. During the first three seasons the writers seemed to be on a creative roll. Each episode was insular, there were no consequences for the characters, no narrative to follow. Each episode was world of its own, no growth, the show was driven on characterisation, not outcome.
But there was so much criticism about this. For some reason US shows get controlled by their audiences. At some point the creators get paid off and the watchers project their ideas on the show. It's very strange. It creates a lot of money but it takes away the power of those who have the talent to write it in the first place. There are expectations and where there are expectations there is no art.
