I've Always Felt That Really Good Prequels

I'll Never Be Immune To Criticism, And That's Okay, And I'm Very Comfortable With That.

Sometimes We Get Frustrated Ourselves And Decide It's Time To Download A Big Chunk Of Mythology. And Then The Audience Says, 'i Find This Confusing And Alienating And Too Weird.' So Then We Pull Back, And They Say, 'you're Not Giving Us Enough'.

I Think That We, As Writers, Get Excited By Risk. When We Are Feeling Comfortable And Familiar, I Wouldn't Say That We Get Bored, But The Energy In The Room Gets Flat. When We're Most Excited And When The Show Is The Most Fun, It's When We're Duking Things Out.

Good Twists Are Enormously Hard To Come By, And I Think The Best Ones Are Earned Ones. The Idea That A Story Can Take A Left Turn On You, It's Easy To Do, But It Has To Be Done Very, Very Carefully, Or Else You Risk Losing The Audience's Trust.

I Think The Idea That Television Has Evolved To This Place Of Real Thematic Richness And The Fact That You No Longer Have To Get 10 Million People To Watch Your Show In Order To Propagate Its Survival Are The Best Things That Have Ever Happened To Storytelling In This Medium.
