Zašto je pisanje likova tako teško? U ovoj epizodi pričamo o konzistentnosti likova, njihovoj karakterizaciji, što se dogodi kad pisci imaju previše moćne protagoniste, kako pristupiti pisanju likova i još štošta drugo. Od stripova, serija do knjiga. Ovo je prvi dio priče o likovima, teme kojoj ćemo se vratiti više puta u ovoj sezoni, jer je tako široka.
