WHY HAVE A TV WRITER ON SET? Since they already wrote the script (and rewrote it 8 times, and tweaked it after the table read)? Glad you asked, here's a thread.

Such an amazing adaptation, so faithful to the game (w/ countless easter eggs!) while surprising us with fantastic new material. Can’t wait to see what @clmazin and @Neil_Druckmann do in S2!!! Biting my tongue so hard watching with husband who doesn’t know the game. #LastOfUsHBO

HUGE fan of #TheLastOfUs game. LOVED every second of @TheLastofUsHBO tonight. The perfect combo of story we know (and love) and new material that fits in so well. Amazing job @clmazin @Neil_Druckmann and all the cast and crew. Can’t wait to see the rest!!!

We consult with real firefighters who are truly everyday heroes. Working on this show has given me a new perspective on these brave men and women, and tonight’s episode has a storyline I’m particularly proud of. It also has a fire. Two of them, actually. 🔥🔥 #ChicagoFire

All my emails
Me, writing an email: I'm using an exclamation point so you know I'm friendly and excited! But now I'm using a period so that you know I'm not crazy. Here's another sentence with a period as a buffer, proving my normalness. Thanks so much!

Tonight's @NBCChicagoFire (written by @Mattney) has one of my FAVORITE Kidd storylines and I can't wait for the #onechicago fam to see it. Ah!!

Not gonna lie: little drunk. But watch #TheBoysTV in ONE FUCKING WEEK. 7/26 on @PrimeVideo. Also, we’ve been picked up for season 2, so that shit won’t be cancelled on you! I’m so proud of it, would mean a lot if you RT & WATCHED! #spn #SPNFamily @TheBoysTV

If you’re in Los Angeles I highly recommend seeing “Brain Problems” from the mad genius brain of @malcolmbarrett. It’s a whimsical and wild ride, full of fun surprises. Only 3 weekends left!!
“Brain Problems” made @StageRaw’s TOP TEN along with @NiaVardalos’ “Tiny Beautiful Things,” so now I’m as famous as Nia Vardalos. stageraw.com/our-top-ten-the…
Another no brainer hire is @David_C_Hoffman. Check out his #Timeless eps! Tho I have a feeling we could all be meeting on HIS show before too long... so start sucking up to him now! #WGAStaffingBoost

ATTENTION ‼️⚠️‼️⚠️‼️ Calling all showrunners... @LaurenGreer1419 is amazing. Much like @ShawnRyanTV already stated, I would hire her immediately. But I can only assume she won’t be available because @arikalisanne got her first. #WGAStaffingBoost
I’m a staff writer, female athlete (🏑🏒)raised by tough New England winters. Lover of history &Harry Potter, worked my way up as an assistant on @TimelessSPTV into two freelance episodes, but sadly our story ended too soon. Put me in coach, I’m ready to play! #WGAStaffingBoost
