JEFF DAVIS HAS FINALLY REVEALED THE REASON BEHIND THE CONTINUITY PROBLEMS!
Which is that no one looks over the scripts before they’re shot because they’re written so last minute.
FUCKING A.
either hire someone to be a continuity hawk or rework the writing schedule SO THAT NOT EVERY. SINGLE. SCRIPT. IS A RUSH JOB.
I’m surprised that he’s admitting how bad he is at his job. He’s the *showrunner*. Having a workable schedule and keeping to it is the core of his job; writing every episode is *not*. He is being fundamentally unprofessional, and he’s telling everyone about it! Who does that?
I’ve found that white dudes are often proud of being sloppy and last-minute because they’ve never experienced any negative consequences for it. Meeting tolerance for their sloppiness and mistakes everywhere (“Boys will be boys!”)(“Oh well, it’s readable, wouldn’t want to embarrass him when he’s probably already aware of all these typos”), they mistake their noticeably error-ridden efforts for essentially meeting expectations. They then imagine that this nonexistent ability (to carelessly and quickly meet expectations which other people would have to work carefully to meet) is a sign of how they’re so rebellious (read: cool) and amazingly talented and ~good under pressure~ (because they imagine that lesser creative beings would be incapable of producing at the last minute, or would be even lower quality).
Damn, you’re right. I’d never put it together that way before, but that’s it *exactly*. Pernicious Consequences of Privilege #2347.
