This is also a part of the problem.

Mike Schur is a veteran showrunner and he explained that because of the current system, writers don't get to go on set after they write a script so they don't get the experience of how things actually work on the ground.

A veteran writer who knows the ins and outs of on set production would think twice before suggesting something off the cuff like the example you outlined. But these days writers don't get anywhere near the set so they do shyt like that and it costs time money and effort that isn't necessary.
I mean, even I know filming a scene like that would be strenuous and costly. Some people just don’t have awareness.

Why is there a writer's strike? It's not like these bozos come up with anything good or original. Everything is a remake or a sequel nobody wanted or asked for!
:unimpressed:

They want a fair share of the billions their shyt ideas generate. Nothing wrong with that.

Don’t you want the same for yourself?

“We are the Writers Guild of America (WGA), a labor union composed of the thousands of writers who write the content for television shows, movies, news programs, documentaries, animation, and Internet and mobile phones (new media) that keep audiences constantly entertained and informed.”

:troll: Without the WGA it be Reruns, Reality TV and Sports. :blessed: ENDLESS REALITY TV

honestly, how do people sit in a room and write this shyt? I can’t even wrap my head around how you write such authentic dialogue between 4 very different mourning characters, like its wild.

Writing one eulogy is hard enough

Detective Jimmy McNulty, tired and disillusioned with the never-ending cycle of crime in Baltimore, stumbles upon a hidden laboratory while investigating a seemingly ordinary case. Unbeknownst to him, this laboratory houses an experimental substance capable of granting extraordinary abilities.

In a twist of fate, McNulty accidentally spills the mysterious substance on himself, and to his astonishment, he gains superhuman powers. He discovers that he possesses incredible strength, speed, and the ability to manipulate electricity. McNulty realizes that with his newfound abilities, he has the chance to bring an end to the city's rampant crime.

Embracing his alter ego, "The Wire," McNulty begins a one-man crusade against the criminal underworld. Criminals fear him, and law-abiding citizens find solace in his presence. With each passing day, he grows more adept at using his powers, honing them to perfection.

"The Wire" becomes a symbol of hope and justice, striking fear into the hearts of those who prey on the weak. His actions catch the attention of both the police and the criminal organizations, who are baffled by this mysterious and unstoppable force.

As his powers grow, McNulty starts to uncover the true depths of corruption in Baltimore. With his superhuman senses, he uncovers hidden connections between politicians, police officials, and drug kingpins, who have been orchestrating the city's criminal underworld for their personal gain.

In a climactic showdown, "The Wire" confronts the most influential figures behind the city's crime, using his powers to outmaneuver and overpower them. With each victory, he exposes their dirty secrets to the public, leading to the downfall of the entire corrupt network.

The people of Baltimore rejoice as crime rates plummet and the city begins to heal. McNulty's super-powered alter ego becomes a legend, a symbol of what one man can achieve when armed with extraordinary abilities and unwavering determination.

But the power takes its toll on McNulty. The lines between his civilian life and his alter ego blur, and he struggles to maintain his identity. He becomes consumed by the responsibility he has taken upon himself, sacrificing personal relationships and his own well-being in the process.

In the end, "The Wire" realizes that relying solely on his powers is not the answer. True change requires systemic reform and a collective effort from the community. He steps out of the spotlight, retiring his alter ego, and uses his knowledge of the city's corruption to advocate for reform within the police force.

"The Wire" becomes an enigmatic figure, a legend whispered among the streets of Baltimore. His legacy serves as a reminder that even the most extraordinary powers are only as strong as the dedication and integrity behind them. And with that, a new chapter begins for Baltimore, one where hope and justice prevail.

I remember reading a comment from someone who was apparently a PA on Vampire Diaries. He said one day one of the staff writers was like "Hey, you know what we should add? A car crash, with a flip and explosion:myman:." Everyone agreed so they added an extra day of filming and the staff writer wrote the new scene. They ended up having to close 2 roads, have the police/firefighters/EMT on hand and do a bunch of stunt rehearsals. On top of that, it was raining and cold, and it took all night just to film that small sequence. The writer then said "Man guys, If I knew that it was going to be this complicated, I wouldn't have wrote this scene:skip:." The PA said he was very close to breaking his jaw on set :russ:


:childplease: :childplease: :childplease:this has to be bullshyt, even film classes at a community college wouldve provided perspective.
