I believe that Sheridan’s ego got the better of him and he inserted himself in the end of the show since Costner left the show He had to know that the show could not continue with KC because he was what held the show together and he was jealous of the star I think he had too many shows he was working on at one time and yet he blamed Kevin Costner for wanting to work on another project because he didn’t have the scripts ready Kevin is a true iconic actor and has made many movies What was he supposed to do just sit around waiting for TS to continue writing for all the other shows? If the plan was to have John Hutton die he could have at least given him a dignified death
