• Being in writers' rooms turns you feral. You are swearing, you are going to very dark, mean places.

And then over the course of the year, after the production schedule grinds you down, it is just so mean and stupid.

But not everybody wants to read a story with those kinds of words and thoughts being expressed in the very first sentence. "Stop swearing," Jason screamed.
