The truth hurts, doesn’t it. The show has a choice. They can be introverted, do what they want for themselves, stay in the box, and keep the revolving door, or they can align their decisions to the pleasure of the people who watch their show / keep them employed. The narcicistsic idea of “art”, and “it’s all about me” looks good, but it’s like a car sitting on a lot without any gas in it. It looks pretty, but if it has no fuel, it’s not going to go anywhere.
The. show. is. not. about. the. writers. It’s not even about the story. It’s about the audience. That’s a key point that has to be drilled into the mindset of ABC, before Once can be truly successful. When that happens, things will improve. Otherwise, status quo.
Once won’t see season 4. It will have been sacrifiiced on an altar of inflated egos.
Interesting: Recently, Fox News (link below) was talking about an American Freshman Survey, which has accumulated data for the past 47 years from 9 million young adults, reveals that college students are more likely than ever to call themselves gifted and driven to succeed, even though their test scores and time spent studying are decreasing.
Fascinating to see how the decline of humility can so tangibly represented.
