I think part of the problem is that in S1 they had a good bit of character development going on, and then in S2 they decided it was too dark, retconned the hell out of the whole thing, and didn't bother to stop and think about what they did next. Owen as 27 at death was part of that, but the implication from Fragments that Toshiko was at most 27-28? Please.
They don't need something written in stone--that would have nixed Janto from the word go, despite the onscreen clickage between JB and GDL or EM and KO--but they do need a rough draft form AND a good proofreader AND somebody to tell them where to go when things get too weird.
