I am throwing this in, because when you look at the stories and plots of an episode you should consider that they’re often not the original idea of the writer of that episode but drafted in the writers room together. Of course though there are different ways and styles to put that into the words of a script. So a suggestion, and something not easily done, I know, but if you look at the episodes, try to put somewhat aside what part of the story, what plot you like or dislike, and look at how the story and plot are put into action and dialogue, when you want to talk about specific writers that is. So an episode can be weak in the story and plot and still be quite strong in the specific writer’s writing. Not sure if everyone is aware of writers’ room, so thought, better bring it up.
Adam and Eddy have said it’s very collaborative–they don’t just doll out ideas to the writers. They’ve also said it can get pretty heated, which I think is “nice” in that it means they really care/respect the other writers opinions. Wish I could be a fly on that, sometimes. 🙂
