's message, "Too Much Information" on 5/02/03 11:51am
I don't recall the post by Ash. Could you post me to it. As to Keith, are you referring to the Ancestors Breath?
Anyway, yes I think sometimes know too much about the behind the scenes stuff can cloud a persons enjoyment. I find it interesting that the folks with the show post this kind of stuff to be honest.
As to Ash I don't know. I thougt he and Zack had moved on to a better job, at least that's what Zack indicated. Perhaps the changes in the show have been more than they want to bear. Perhaps they are much more like Robert, wanting dark stories, angst and more.
As to Keith, who knows. I know sometime back he posted something, I think before S3 and everyone thought he was leaving. He didn't. My understanding was that everyone had signed for S4.
All I can do is judge the show on what I see on screen. Yes, Ash and Zack are very talented writers, but there are other talented writers out there. Keith is wonderful and I hope he stays, but if not, well I will just have to see how it turns out.
Sometimes I also wonder if this kind of information is posted intentionally. I mean, if folks get in a tizzy, they are going to watch the show to see if what they believe they read is going to happen actaully does. Keeps ratings up.
Like I said though, what I find most surprising is to see someone from the show, who is still employed by the show presenting information that is written in a way to get fans in an uproar. I'm surprised the show would allow this, or they do and there is a reason for it.
