So he may have started with a functional outline and slowly began to change it when constraints on the show affected how things were going to be done in the future. By the fifth season, the most effective ideas in terms of filming, display, function and appearance were the ones being used, first season's issues resolved and choices made, and yes they may be quite different!

Jul 26, 2012 at 20:15 comment added John O While your answer is good, it should be noted that there were practical story development problems, so the writers sort of ignored this. It wasn't decided that they'd take an Abrahamic direction with the show until much later, and doing so would confuse the mythology they (at that time) wanted to create.
