Some here will have seen me say this before, but: Dramatic presentations 
have beginnings, middles, and ends. Trouble with series TV is that it 
gets into an eternal middle (and usually never gets to an end). 

With the premise of the show, much as I have enjoyed it and wish it 
would go on, the creators have painted themselves into a corner. God 
must have had a solid reason to talk to Joan, but if they moved to the 
conclusion quickly the show would have been over, so they got stuck in 
the middle.
