The show's main script editor (Susan Dansby) is extremely weak.
Reading the dialogue aloud as she's editing (or even whispering the lines to herself as she reads them) should alert her that certain lines need to be purged entirely or, at the very least, a drastic rewrite to make them resemble real dialogue.
That's been a problem from Day One. The first five episodes of the series were supposedly written by Michele Val Jean, and the dialogue was often atrocious. Obviously no one edited those episodes. And it's set a certain clumsy tone in the dialogue that Susan Dansby has never bothered to rectify even after a year.
Do I enjoy the show? Yep. Does the dialogue need work? Yep.
