Well we are talking something that was started in 1992 and abandoned. It came back for awhile. But OAV 3 sucked ass.

The funny thing is, the unfinished nature of the OVA kinda created a theme for the TV shows that things never change for this group, they're just sort of destined to be together. I kinda liked that, even if it is sort of an anti-Bebop.

No, it's because Kajishima took over. TM was originally co-written by Kajishima and Hasegawa. Kajishima was primarily responsible for creating the characters and background universe, while Hasegawa took care of the characterization and relationships. When Kajishima went solo, the show started going in a downwards spiral. Basically, Kajishima is a polygamy loving pedophile, and wants Tenchi to end up with Sasami and/or everyone, and therefore completely ruined most of the other characters, and started introducing a bunch of character no one is interested in.
Ryoko was the heart and soul of the show, but Kajishima forced her into a secondary role, and turned her into a two dimensional stereotype.

On the other hand, while Hasegawa is pretty good at characterization, she's not good at background information or writing a decent story, so her continuity is also a bit lacking.

Except that Hasegawa left after the 1st OVA. The 2nd was all Kajishima, and it was even more Ryoko-centric than the 1st.

Kajishima probably just went senile and/or lost whatever talent he used to have in the decade between the 2nd & 3rd OVAs.

Second OAV doesn't hold a candle to the first, and you can see how much she's degenerated by the last episodes. She's a complete coward around the royals.

The only one she showed any "fear" of was Misaki, and that whole scene was 100% comedy.

For the lulz?

No, actually I think it's just a matter of Kajishima and Hasegawa having different ideas about how the story should procede. And possibly having egos to large to recognize that they work a lot better together than separately.
