but from what I've heard CC used to do quite a bit of rewriters with the final episodes,

Oh, definitely, but it was the same at ME. From what Jane said, basically the whole group wrote the story, then the writer writes the teleplay from a very detailed outline approved by the showrunners and network. Then they go through drafts and Joss/Marti did their final polishes. There were rumors that Joss basically rewrote everything in S1.

Maybe Joss is better at keeping the tone of the original script than Carter or perhaps Minear just fit better with ME. It doesn't surprise me that it's hard to break in, but I'm not sure what he means. I haven't checked, but I think he has more AtS S1 scripts than anyone. Or he could mean pitching ideas rather than the scripts themselves.
