They have written FOUR episodes this season while Edlund and even Glass (as shitty as he is) have only written three. You can't tell me that was not all Bob Singer.

In fact, part of me wonders how much Carver has to do with any of this anyway. I've always thought that Gamble got pushed out mid-S7 and that Singer was the silent puppetmaster for what a mess the back half became. Going by Singer's interviews, his views on the brothers seem completely reductive, and that fits with this one-note characterization going on this season.
