Finally they lucked on a good writer who knows how to construct a story and make it entertaining.
We've still got the paid reviewers in here but they look like they might be up for unemployment if they keep Ashley on as series writer. No need for fake high score reviews when they deliver like this episode does.
John Dorie center story, delivering some great throw away lines. san antonio split, only the second time he's pulled it off etc, and the western theme, an obvious winner I mentioned way back in my review from Dorie's first appearance. We love the cowboy mystique and why no writer bothered to pull this through to the screen in the last season shows how inept last seasons writers were in general.
I'm going to go ahead and assume Ashley read my suggestion of focusing on this and incorporated it in her winning approach. She's not here to say she didn't so we'll leave it as fact until she challenges it personally.
Great to see Dwight back again, and delivering some serious deep thought and emotional content aimed for our brains and not zombies. No one else was too annoying which has been a common problem, we don't need to have the story cluttered up with stupid and annoying parts just to fill up an episode, Ashley show's there's plenty of decent content to fill the time. Ashley mercifully didn't use the annoying trope of smart people doing stupid things to move the script along (ok Dwight jumping off the roof etc, but that's nothing compared to what we've had to put up with), and some touching well paced character moments.
I see Ashley is listed as writing a large chunk of this season. eps 1-8,10, and 16. Let's hope who ever fills in the gaps doesn't blow it. I fear ep 9 and11-15, till we see who writes them.
You've got my attention, please use it wisely.
