Days films so far in advance, (5-6 mos) it has to be difficult for the writers to juggle things when some actors refuse to be on contract, would rather be recurring, or do a couple weeks then be off, etc. etc. Maybe things will improve as I understand the entire cast was off most of the summer, and just now recently returned to work. Scripts are written about 3 mos. before filming, so, gonna be a while before we see anything different, (plus there IS a new exec producer).
