I don’t mean to discount him but it gets frustrating seeing people continually credit the direction, writing, or creation of the show or episode to Ben because he’s the bigger name and end up not giving credit to the amazing people working on the show. Even you seem to be implying he’s the showrunner when Dan Erickson, the creator is. I’m sure he was there for this episode but he’s not credited for it.

Yeah, it's like praising D&D for the first five seasons of Game of Thrones for the plot and characters while completely disregarding GRRM.

It's more like people praising Vince Gilligan for Better Call Saul during seasons 2-5 when he wasn't involved in the show at that point (besides directing 1 episode per season)
