I could write all of S5, but at this point there is no *need* to
do so, so why do it? Just for the record? No...I'm just as happy to
bring in a few outside scripts. Not many, only about 5, just to break
it up a little.

Yes, Peter David and Bill Mumy will jointly be writing at least
one script.

I'm keeping DC and David in my hip pocket for the moment; there
are an awful lot of writers who've wanted desperately to write for the
show in the last few years, who couldn't because I did two seasons
alone. I have kind of a moral obligation to give those folks a shot,
and since there are only about 5 open assignments, I have to be very
selective. If I can in good conscience give one to David or DC, I will
definitely consider doing so. But the new guys deserve a shot.

It's never any one thing...it always varies from writer to
writer.

Harlan is working on something now, and suggested something that
I then based an episode on, so we share story credit on "A View from
the Gallery."

It's an unrelated story.
