The attitude of "synching up with canon" seems directed squarely at the haters who think the show is nothing but one massive canon violation and they were desperate to gain their trust.
They might catch the interest of haters if they worked harder to make the stories compelling and coherent. Well, a few of them. The rest were and are going to continue to hate it regardless of what they do.
So the goal should be to tell the best stories possible and let the chips fall where they may.
