Thanks for your reply! I'm glad Edlund hasn't cut back as much as I feared.
Regarding directorial control -- I was under the impression that the Director does the final cut -- deciding what ends up on the cutting room floor? and I guess, I had also assumed that the Director, in reading the script, might make certain alterations -- though I'd always thought that was subject to show-runner approval -- since actors can make alterations in their lines with directorial approval. I don't know, it seems like it is a huge group effort, but every so often it might be that a line is cut by the director.
It does seem that Dean is on some kind of trajectory. It reminds me a lot of when John died, Dean spending all the time working on the Impala, pretending to be find, but with violence tearing out of him when it gets too much to handle. :(
