YouTube copyright claim is so funny. I wanted to put up a fanedit of airplane 2 (basically I took out all of the jokes that were just repeats from Airplane and ended up with a funnier -I think anyway- 60 minute version) and got copyright striked for... 7 minutes in the middle, the only part they noticed was from airplane 2, not the rest of the movie including the paramount logo and title

One thing that really bothered me in the first book, and this is assuming im remembering it correctly, is that he's injured the whole time, doesn't get to sleep, eats a single hamburger...and is just doing action hero shit the whole time. I had trouble suspending my disbelief, a few hours of sleep for him would have really helped the plausibility

As tv shifts towards shorter seasons that drop all at once or are in post production for months, it's getting easier to work around the production problems others have mentioned that stop a season from having a single director. One other thing I haven't seen anyone say yet is that the director of the pilot IS extremely important as, with very rare exceptions, they set the tone and look of the series that future directors imitate and build on.

I typically let a pilot do its thing. I've seen a lot of pilots, and a lot of the time it's just like "OK, that was neat, not really interested in seeing more" but sometimes I get hooked. Of course if I see people raving about something I gave up on quickly, I'll sometimes reevaluate.

It got a lot easier once I gave up "having" to see a show all the way to the end once I'd started, which I gave up on because Glee and Once Upon A Time both crashed creatively in their second seasons then went on for YEARS more.
