the buck stops there, so to a certain extent if we hated certain parts of the show then he is the person most responsible. But, if that's our logic then we should also hold him most responsible for the things we loved about the show, too.
And there are a great many things I think he did or tried to do that were great, but the buck does stop with him so when the rage comes, it's his. ;)
Oddly, I think he was just better at coming up with ideas than executing them and not great, IMO, at going with the natural flow of the action so end results frequently felt manipulated and forced. *shrug* At the same time, I love the idea of writing episode acrs that tie together 3-5 episodes before moving on to something else. And I think he created great characters and jumping off points for his stories.
