I dont watch but just saw on twitter that Kristin Schall directed the ep which I feel is important bc like I’m glad a woman had a hand in bringing this to screen

i mean, the episode was still definitely…written by a man. very cringy and angering in some places–as per usual–but that doesn’t take away from the main plot and the fantastic acting. directing was awesome, too, so props to kschall 100%

I went and had a look at the writers for each episode and honestly, all the best Erica/Gail ones – heck, most of the best ones in general – were written by women. (Nope, I’m not surprised either.) I’m curious about the makeup of the s4 writers/directors room though. From 4×01 to 4×07, there’s been four female writers and three female directors, including Kristen. I was hoping it would be a 50/50 split, but… it is not.
