what does it mean for the future of the show when the showrunner is replaced? Does this happen often?
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

The Minearverse 6: Fiery Thread of Death
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It means the show will die a fiery death.
Which is to say, I don't think it means anything in particular other than someone else has their hands on the reins, for good or for bad.

I know Polter-Cow (I think) had expressed concerns when it was announced the current showrunner was leaving.
That was me! I mentioned it a few weeks back in Premium.

I've been a bit timid to think of myself as a Dexter fan for fear of what that says about me.
For what it's worth, I was much bloodthirstier as an Angel fan than as a Dexter fan.

Aha. Well, we do look alike.
And it turns out I didn't even find the right showrunner before. It looks like he was "co-showrunner," though, according to HR. Not the creator. So that's good.

The creator, or really developer of the show, left after Season 1, I think.

Ack, my apologies Kristen. I have no idea why I thought it was P-C, except maybe that he's posted about the show.

I have posted about it, and I think I've talked about it in here, which is what confused you.

It's okay. I have one of those faces. (hee)
