Hi, I'm Jim Miller, and welcome to Origins.

You don't strike me as a guy who goes back and looks at things and wishes they were done differently.

But as you started the show in that first season in particular,

were there things that you later learned

about the show that you had wished you knew at the beginning?

I don't know.

I know that when I drove home every day,

you know, because we were improvising it,

a lot of times I would think,

would this scene have been better if I had

written it and 98% of the time I thought no it was better improvised you just get to

places that you couldn't get to writing.

Did you find though that the editing process was a form of writing for you?

Sure, definitely.

But the other thing is really hard.

It's tedious.

Takes a long time to edit a show. I mean compared to a written

show where you're doing two to three takes and they're all the same. This show every

take is different. It seems to me though and correct me if i'm wrong but

the first season you kind of let things play out

maybe like a beat or two more

than in subsequent seasons you it seemed like the editing was a little bit a little bit
