I thought it would be neat to put together a FOL database grouping the episodes by writer. :typing: This way maybe we can get an idea of what writers liked to write for certain characters or situations, and what seasons they were actively writing.
For those not familiar with writing, when episodes say "story" and "teleplay" instead of just "written by", "story" is who came up with the plot for the episode, and "teleplay" is for who took that story and wrote it out into a script. If a credit here says "with" so-and-so, it means those two both wrote the episode together. And the ampersand, or "and sign"---&---denotes the two people connected by that are writing partners.
The database will be listed in order of writing credit. So I took the writer for the first episode and listed all their episodes in order, then the same for writer of the second episode, and so on.

For those not familiar with writing, when episodes say "story" and "teleplay" instead of just "written by", "story" is who came up with the plot for the episode, and "teleplay" is for who took that story and wrote it out into a script. If a credit here says "with" so-and-so, it means those two both wrote the episode together. And the ampersand, or "and sign"---&---denotes the two people connected by that are writing partners.
The database will be listed in order of writing credit. So I took the writer for the first episode and listed all their episodes in order, then the same for writer of the second episode, and so on.
