hard
It's always really hard to kill off someone who you just really enjoy working with, writing for, and seeing on the screen.

It's funny: I like being surprised as a reader, so it's difficult for me to spoil my own stuff.
both characters good whenever
Whenever you can manoeuvre your characters into a situation where they both have a good argument to make, you're on the right track.

There's a lot of downtime where you're filling your car up with gas, you're driving to work, you're stuck in traffic - it's Los Angeles, and so much of it is a car lifestyle.

In the writers' room, when we talk about each episode, we first talk about the character journey of the episode.
answers audiences develop longer noticed patient sort worn
I noticed that 'Lost' had sort of worn out our welcome; because of 'Lost,' audiences were no longer being patient with slow reveals: they wanted answers quickly, and they wanted story to develop much faster.
