While Damon Lindelof has received much of the upfront attention (and deservedly so) for the success of his "remix" pseudo-sequel to The-Writer-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, David Gibbons, and John Higgins' comic book classic Watchmen, he's never missed an opportunity to give much of the credit to his writers' room: Cord Jefferson, Stacy Osei-Kuffour, Christal Henry, Lila Byock, Carly Wray, […]
