I don’t think the writers would ever think of viewers as rag dolls, in the end we are their source of income. But when they start a show with a clear idea in their mind, it’s hard to change it “because the viewers want it”, sometimes it wouldn’t make sense to the story they want to tell. I believe Once is not one of those shows that wonder in random directions according to fans’ wishes but that the writers actually have a clear idea of where they want the series to go and that they have a plan they need to stick to in order for the story to remain logical.
I agree. A good artist creates a work of art a certain way because it says what they want to say, not because they want it to be popular. If it doesn’t become popular, at least they have told the story they wanted to tell. If it does become popular, great! They will get a well-deserved reward for their work and then there will be a ton of copycat hacks producing poor copies of the same thing thing because it is popular.
