I’ve been haunted by a tweet (sent to Adam shortly after the spoiler of doom was released) from a SF/Neal fan who threatened to abandon the show if they kill off Neal. Adam’s reply was somewhat like this:
“I hope you give it a chance. You might like it! We hope to surprise you all!”
(I can only imagine how that fan is feeling right now.)
YOU MIGHT LIKE IT. WE HOPE TO SURPRISE YOU ALL.
What the heck, Adam?
Either he was being mean or there’s shenanigans going on.. I guess we just have to wait and watch the rest of the season to find out.
:: snort :: Yeah. Because killing my favourite character is definitely something I would like. Seriously, sometimes I wish I could throttle Adam’s tweets. Or make him eat them or something angry and physical that obviously can’t be done to words on the internet. I get that he’s standing behind his decisions and story choices, but the misleading answers beforehand to ANY spoiler related question is headdesk inducing. I’d almost rather he take a 180 and start spelling doom and gloom everywhere. At least then when something good or unexpected happens it would be a welcome surprise instead of how the opposite seems to happen all the time, especially if it’s SF related.
I’m not going to lie, on the show notes for the 315 episode of the podcast, the suggestion that only SF shippers didn’t like Neal’s death annoyed me.
I second your annoyance. I resent the implication that we’re the only group who are upset by this “bold” storytelling, that it’s only about shipping and not about logical, cohesive storytelling/show running. I’m sick of episodes upon episodes where characters wander around forever, taking a leisurely stroll towards the plot, and then BAM! Let’s shoehorn in all the character and plot development that we forgot to get to before because we were distracted by this shinny magical plot device. Did your favourite character suffer because we forgot about them over all that shiny? Oh, sorrynotsorry.
