My guess is that she worked on Measure for several months, but maybe Ladder was written in a desperate couple of weeks during the writers strike, with some weird assistance from Gene R. too?? Who knows....

I would rate
Samaritan Snare: A-
Up the Long Ladder: C


I suggest that we do like we did for the first season, and post our grades for various episodes. There's a list of the episodes here:
