Re: Mid-late season runs; Seinfeld didn't really get cooking until Season 4-5. It had its moments here and there before then (parking garage, book detective), but it wasn't until The Contest that it became a phenomenon.

zoux posted:It really is astonishing he couldn't get it done. When GoT was announced people were joking about it but here it is, it happened, the show finished before the books. Have any other authors basically wholly abanandoned their insanely popular series of books? I know ACD tried to but the people wouldn't let him. Not only that, the whole series will come out in the time it took him to write book 6.

bull3964 posted:The 4400 thing is so weird. It's a generic enough premise that was elevated by a cast that was pretty good and had great chemistry. It was also one of the things that launched Mahershala Ali's career I’m way late to this but I found the concept to be awesome but most of the cast was poo poo. I welcome a reboot.

esperterra posted:iirc he has it in his will to have his notes destroyed and not let anyone finish it. He's said in interviews before that he doesn't plan out anything he writes because he views it like gardening or something. Basically there are no notes to be destroyed, he just says stuff like that because people are mean to him for being a liar with no work ethic (I say as I post from work).

Syfy bought the rights 5 years ago, then another production house got the rights and said they are doing a TV show, and now Hulu says they are.

He talks about this on his blog, all the time...  The books had the same end-point as now when it was planned as a trilogy, he just planned to time-skip a lot. He's also made extensive notes and plotted the narratives and much of the dialogue for the 9, main POV characters, so the books will be (basically are) finished: he just has to write them. I completely understand why he doesn't finish: 1) it's a cash cow-ride that ends when the series is over and 2) would you really want to be working on the same art project for 25+ years? zoux posted:
Huh...I wonder if the Consortium gets a cut...

It's not a joke or "cruel", it's the truth

He does have notes, but yeah no detailed outlines like most writers do. He writes like I do tbh lmao. Figure out your main beats snd just let the characters take you there.
