Yes and no. While I don't demand a 'Babylon 5' style plot where pretty much the entire plot from start to finish is known in advance, I would expect them to have at least a basic idea of what CB is and what its goals are. After all, CB is the organization that the protagonists are all a part of, and the organization that drives the plot in pursuit of what appears to be a very unusual goal.
The writers need to have a basic idea of what CB's real goals are, or else they risk accidentally writing themselves into a corner. That doesn't keep them from suddenly deciding that Louise is going to join the Ptolemais bridge crew. But it does help prevent them from accidentally contradicting something seemingly minor that was in episode 1. >From time to time I read about authors who introduced big, seemingly powerful >organizations or characters into their storylines without worrying too much >about the why of those characters or groups.
