A couple of points that don't seem to have been considered in all of this...
1. Yes, we all love Beckett ... which means we're all hurting like hell that he's gone. Isn't the fact that we care about the character a sign that the writers *did* do their job? It was an effective departure because we didn't want it to happen.
2. Anyone considered any external factors in his departure? As Paul is (rather obviously) not a Canadian local, maybe there's been some restrictions on how long he's allowed to remain in Canada working. (Mind you, if that was really the problem then TPTB should've been able to sort that out, but its just an example).
All I'm saying is, consider the possibility that PM's departure might have been out of his hands, but it might also have been out of the production team's hands, too. Until someone in a position to know says otherwise, the writers and producers entirely do NOT deserve your wrath and scorn.
Farewell, and thanks for listening.
