The thing is, even if they got rid of A and B or reduced them to recurring status, it's not like S2 would come roaring back in all its glory. The damage is done.
I can't imagine it was an easy adjustment for the actors, either, to have an established group dynamic change that way. Of course, it was gradual, sort of, but that's still a big change.
If we'd had 3 or 4 full seasons with just the original 5, then I wouldn't feel cheated. I could just write-off whatever came afterwards and move on. It would be nice to have a very clear line of separation between "old TBBT" and "new TBBT." But TPTB were sneaky and they sort of snuck A and B in through the back door.
It pisses me off that they wouldn't even let us have three full seasons with the original 5.
ETA: This thread probably isn't the correct place for this type of bitterness, so I apologize.
