Do I think I would be up to the monumental, life-consuming task of helming a show. Fuck no. But there are definitely shows where I look at the writing aspect of it and think, "Even I could do a way better job than this. WTF are they even THINKING? Do they know their own characters AT ALL??!"

However, it's notable that I definitely don't feel this way about all shows, and I don't tend to imagine myself as the one who would come in and make the show better. It's usually someone else, or several someone elses working as a team. Some non-specific group of writers who really GET the story's potential and the characters' potential and who turn the whole thing around and manage to capture at least a little of the greatness the story is capable of. (It's not an ego trip where I come in and be awesome, is what I'm saying. In the cases where I think I could write a show better, I also think many, many other people could also write the show better, and would be candidates waaaay up the list from me.)

Yeah, I think there's a vast difference between saying, "Oh, I don't like how that storyline was written/played out" and the belief that you could run a show without any issues or whatever. There are story arcs that I've seen and thought, "Hm, I think I would've taken that in a different direction, personally." Or, "I wish the show had touched on this topic or issue a little more." And if there's contradictions in a character's backstory or canon, I'll notice it and be like, "Um...".

But then that's why I go and write fanfiction dealing with my reaction to those sorts of moments :p. Or discuss and debate it in fandom conversation. Beyond that, however, I'm certainly not sitting there thinking, "If I ran the show, everything would be better!" or anything like that.

And if I did have that dream, your comments about group efforts and letting those who are way better at writing/running things take over are mine as well.
