My Take
What I admire most about Kitsis is not a single show but a sustained partnership. With Adam Horowitz he built the mythology of Lost and the fairy-tale tangle of Once Upon a Time, two series that lived or died on how patiently they doled out mystery. That patience, the discipline to keep an audience guessing without losing them, is rarer than raw invention, and the Writers Guild of America Award is fitting recognition. I have a soft spot for writers who thrive in a duo; the ego it takes to share credit for a decade says more than any solo triumph.
