So many good performances, so many exciting events that I've seen already. So many things still to come.
Anyway, for quite some time I have thought about this one little question: how good are television writers compared to professional athletes?
How good are these Lena Dunhams and Chuck Lorres compared to Jevgeni Malkins and Shaun Whites? Are they better or worse?
Now, this is just my opinion, but these athletes are like billion times better compared to most television writers.
They come from a different planet when it comes to abilities. They are so much better that it almost makes me want to become an athlete again.
Like for example figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu, who does quad jumps and triple axels. Jumps that I myself would never ever be able to pull off.
How can anyone be able to do stuff like that? It's almost impossible. Yet, he's able to do it:
Awesome stuff. Totally awesome. He's that good.
Can you name a writer who is as good as he is as a figure skater? I'm pretty sure you can't.
For me it's pretty simple. I'm supposed to be as good as they are. If I can't do 'quads' - or at least 'triples' as a writer, what's the point in writing scripts?
If only people in the business would see it this way too. Perhaps then we might get better tv shows. We can do so much better.
Less dick jokes, more quad jumps.
