Hollywood is stupid and they didn't want to pay writers after the first draft is written. It may not be so much the writer is shit (they came up with some good ideas after all) it's that they don't have time to make additional drafts to fix plotholes, improve the dialog, etc.

Writing isn't just banging out something on a typewriter and it's pure genius the moment is written. It's a process that usually involves multiple drafts.

You gotta admit a lot of things feel like a first draft, and it's probably because it is. Hopefully these issues were sorted out with the writer's strike.
