SMG's singing in OMWF was excellent. "I touch the fire and it freezes me..."

I noticed that Joss had screenwriting talent when I found out that he did the uncredited rewrite of Speed, with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. I just think that Joss sometimes needs a proofreader, because while he's great with dialogue, his story structure often lacks logic or discipline.

Not needing logic or discipline in my stories.

I'm not sure what discipline means in terms of storytelling?

I guess I mean focus. Attention to detail and continuity. Character development that doesn't contradict character traits. Stories that can suspend disbelief without taking insurmountable leaps in logic.

Joss usually did pretty well with h. Sure, he messed up in some places (the AR), but not more than most show bosses. I mean, look at X-Files, where Scully spends years refusing to believe in the supernatural despite endless evidence for it. And you're not supposed to think she's s dumb as a post. Really bad writing.

Scully's in denial mode. Not sure why though. Perhaps believing would be too scary.

Just limited old-style tv writing. Joss moved past that.

Has anybody here ever seen The Crazy Ones, SMG's project with Robin Williams?
