As a screenwriter myself, I think these are quickly becoming my favorite episodes. Can't wait for the next one.

They're a little spread out for their drop dates, but there are a bunch more coming with the writers! I'm so glad you're liking these. We are getting some serious scoop from all of the writers being interviewed! Lisa is a star!

Another great interview and I think in a weird way, Lisa is right, if Halt had got all the love perhaps there wouldn't have been such a connection between the cast and crew. It's so interesting to hear about the decisions and how things happen in the writers room.

The more I hear from the writers, the clearer it is to me how terrible it must be when writers don't get along. This group seems so cohesive. They've been all about giving each other credit. They're still in touch with each other. I think we feel all of that in the finished product somehow.

Great interview! I'm looking forward to the interview with Alison Tatlock and hopefully more writers. LOL at "Jonathan Lisco is real". He is currently the showrunner of Yellowjackets. I wonder what exactly the division of duties was in the first 2 seasons. He's also credited with 1x04 and 2x02, but I assume he was gone after season 2, to be the showrunner of a show called Animal Kingdom.

You'll definitely be seeing more writer interviews - they are just going to be a bit spaced out in their drop dates. But the writers are giving very insightful interviews, to a person! From what I am hearing about Jonathan Lisco, he's built a reputation for being really good at nurturing/showrunning for a season or two and then handing off those responsibilities, and it doesn't seem like it is just from his time at HACF. It's an interesting skill set and implies he is a great mentor. I've heard only good things about him!

Lisa Albert's Wikipedia entry has no date or year of birth. Maybe there was one before and it has been removed.

[@takethedoughnut]

Interesting! I do know that the person who has control of the HACF Wikipedia watches these interviews, and I saw that he liked the IG post about this interview yesterday. So, it could have been removed!

@takethedoughnut There is a special HACF Wikipedia? I was looking at regular Wikipedia
