Yeah, The Goliath Chronicles definitely featured a dip in both visual and narrative quality from what had come before. Although, to be fair, in the animation department, there were two distinct levels of animation throughout the second and, to a lesser extent, first seasons, which probably means there was something like a primary and secondary team of animators. And there were at least as many episodes with the less-than-beautiful art style (probably done by a secondary animation team) as there were episodes with the jaw-dropping, incredible style that graced the first 5-episode arc of the first season--and the number with the former style only grew while the latter style was used less and less through season 2.
That said, I wouldn't have minded if Weisman found some way to integrate The Goliath Chronicles. Although they weren't anywhere near the quality of the earlier episodes, there was nothing in those episodes that a little spit and polish in the comic couldn't have brought the series as a whole back from, and there were a few interesting ideas put forth in TGC that could've done with some more developing in a long-term format like a comic series. Que sera sera, though. I'm basically indifferent to TGC's being cut out--could've been good if it were in, but it'll probably be good with it cut out, too.
