Like I said, it doesn't take much to do a time travel story right. If one writer does a crappy job, you would think that one of the other writers, or one of the producers or execs or ANYBODY would look at that and say, "Hang on, this doesn't make a lick of sense."
I was only confused because your comment implied that an Oprah Book Club selection is of an obvious low standard.

But still, it takes a lot of work to do any story right, especially something as convoluted as a time-travel plot. Most writers on a team probably get saddled with their own scenarios to work on. There's probably some criticism of each other, but unless they're really taking the story seriously and have enough time to go over it, there's probably going to be holes. When it comes to Square, this is a company who released FFVIII - I'm willing to bet that not a lot of hole-poking takes place once all the time and money has been spent putting the game together.
