Thank you so much for this post! Robbie Thompson is hands-down my favorite writer on the show, and I've been grieving (quietly) ever since he left :)
Thank you for asking him about the timeline discrepancies. They drive me crazy as a fan-fic writer, and I'm so glad one of the show writers feels that way too. It's nuts trying to decide whether to write a birthday party scene (is Dean turning 38 or 40?!) and then just leaving it out because it's not canon-compliant feels so restricting!
Anyway, fascinating insight into the show and the process from writer's room to filming to post-production. Interesting that shows gets smaller budgets as they age? I always thought the stars got bigger and bigger raises each year, so maybe that's why the rest of the budget shrinks? Of course, the J's were young and virtually unknown at the beginning, so they must have been fairly cheap.

Thanks again! So much to think about!
