Thank you for the observations! I do have trouble connecting individual writers to their different writing styles, aside from having noticed that Gero loves writing Rodney and tends to like writing slice-of-life or small set-piece episodes as opposed to sprawling "blowing stuff up" episodes.
Admittedly, while I do recognize *why* people are frustrated with the writers' focus on Rodney and, as a writer and a person, I think there are a ton of very valid points that have been made (both regarding the actual writing on the show and the larger sociopolitical picture that it paints), as a fan, if they changed the name to The David Hewlett Show: The Further Adventures of Rodney McKay, I'd be there with bells on. I feel ungrateful complaining about getting exactly what I want out of the show, even though I think other people are totally justified in being unhappy with it (and pointing that out) and I wish that everybody was getting what they want out of it...
