How long does it take to write an episode versus how long it takes to shoot an episode?
Writing is an interesting process. First there’s the time we take planning the season and each episode. That can take weeks. Then there’s the time each writer takes to write an episode. Some people write slowly, carefully going over each line and word. Some spend a long time with the episode in their head and then barf it out onto the page quickly. Me? I’m a barf writer. But both ways result in great episodes. We shoot the episodes in 8 days. 8 fast, furious, exhausting days for the crew and the actors.
