Well, even writers who have a good track record manage to make a mess of it at times, so you can't always trust even that. :) *I'm looking at you, 'Shark'!* But for the most part the writer is a pretty good yardstick of how the drama will eventually turn out. The script IS the foundation and if that's wonky, there's not much even a good PD or great cast can do to make it better. That's something that became glaringly obvious last year.

Happy 2014 to you too! I do hope this will turn out to be a better drama year than 2013.
