My Take
Allan Heinberg is the kind of writer I have huge respect for precisely because most viewers never learn his name. From Tulsa to Yale to writers' rooms on Sex and the City, Gilmore Girls, The O.C., Grey's Anatomy, and Scandal, he built a career making characters talk like real people. Then he crossed into comics with Young Avengers and eventually scripted Wonder Woman. That range is rare. What impresses me most is his ear for dialogue in female-driven stories, a craft that rarely gets headlines but holds whole shows together. He is a quiet professional who earned every credit, and I find that genuinely admirable.
