I'm sure they wanted Finn to be a certain type of character. But his change and deveolpment still has to make sense. There were too many contractictions with Finn, and abrupt changes. He went from A to Z in the space of an epsode with no L's M's or N's in between. For example, he was calm and reasonable when he told Bellamy that they should go with Kane to Alpha Station to get reinforcements and weapons before they looked for their friends. When Bellamy suggested that more of their friends could be dead by then, Finn didn't panic. Instead, he stayed by Raven's side during her surgery, Even after the surgery, Finn didn't get anxious. He remained with Raven until she told him to go get their friends. Then suddenly, Finn went into panic mode and was completely unreasonable. It's so contradictary because the change is too abrupt.

Finn was so upset at having killed a reaper in self defense that he frantically washed the blood off his hands. Two days later, he  tortured and executed a grounder in cold blood and walked away. We understand what was causing the change in him, but that whole breakdown still happened too fast. The writers were too busy moving the plot forward to take time to give us a  logical progression of Finn's unraveling. There were things in season 1, too.

There was so much more they could have done with Finn, and it's disappointing that they chose not to. At least they could have written him in a way that was more consistent and sensible.
