I think it is fascinating that he wanted to get out in front of it before the fandom freaked out. Very interesting.
Me too, Tamara.

I wonder if TV would look the same if they could write and shoot in a bubble and neither the craxxies nor the sane fans could get any feedback to them from writing to calling wrap on the season finale.
Isn't British TV more like that? Because don't they have everything in the can before airing, pretty much?
I think it would look like pre-1990s TV.

My friend works on Doctor Who. That shoots all it's episodes each series before anything airs. The crew are under confidentiality agreements, and very little gets out. For the 2005-2009 run the rule with fans amongst the writers staff was/is to ignore their complaints. (which are constant, and loud)
It's also the BBC's most successful series, pulling in 9 million viewers in the UK regularly.

Who, me? I'm a collection of pixels.

Don't look at me, I'm a cartoon character.
