I'll Never Be Immune To Criticism, And

I Think That 'the Shield' Was A Phenomenal Series Finale.

I Feel Like The Big Twist Shows Are Now Off The Table. I Think Westworld Was Probably The Last One To Trojan Horse This Idea Of The Young Man In Black. They Were Doing Non-linear Storytelling, But Disguising It. Jonah Nolan And Lisa Joy Have Spoken Openly About How They Just Didn't Think People Were Going To Figure It Out That Fast.

I've Always Believed That A Good Twist Is One That, When It Is Presented To The Audience, Half Of Them Say, 'i Saw That Coming.' And Half Of Them Are Completely And Totally Shocked. Because If You Don't Have The Half That Saw It Coming, Then It Wasn't Fair: You Never Gave The Audience A Chance To Guess It.

One Person's Magical Thinking Is Another Person's Cynicism.

I've Always Been Into Having Stories Told To Me. I Was A Voracious Reader, My Father Was Also A Teller Of Tales; And The Kind Of Baron Munchausen Proxy Of A Tall Tale Was Much More Interesting Than A True Tale.
