@TheGoldenKey just brought up a good point in another thread about how all of 315 was plot based (nonsense <–my word, not hers) The Dark One’s curse didn’t come from the EF (says Blue in The Return) Why is there a giant vault of goo in the EF then? BECAUSE PLOT Plot devicey, contrived, overwrought, stupid plot #ThisHasBeenAnAngerRant
NO rhyme or reason except that A&E admittedly wanted to change course (see the interview I posted on page 1005). Not only did A&E want to go in a vastly different direction, but they wanted to do so as quickly as possible. It didn’t matter that they were changing their own mythology fundamentally, being inconsistent with plot, or screwing over a beloved character. All that matters is out with the old and on with the new.
So they want a reboot because why? Because the story made sense and had continuity? Because it was so poetic and they don’t like poetry??? I just don’t get it. I’m not a writer or a showrunner, I’m just a viewer so maybe I just don’t understand what was so wrong and bad about the story they were telling. Hmmm.
