A prime case in point would be the current West Wing series. (Series 6
- Just how many cast changes are we supposed to carry forward?) Here
is a prima facia (sp?) case of major-league cast changes without the
hassle of losing the plot line.
The "old" cast are NOT key to the "way forward". Okay, in the case of
B5 the scriptwriter(s) have dug themselves into a 20-year burrow, but
there are still 20 years to explore.
Sorry, but I am a fan of the writing. A major-league fan.
I don't actually give a sh*t who plays the characters. Honest!
What I want is for the characters AS WRITTEN to be believable, to be
in situations which I can relate to and to behave in a way that I can
understand.
I really don't give a s**t whether it's Bruce or anyone else playing
it.
Honestly - I don't care.
If the *writing* is up to it, it genuinely doesn't matter.
And this is where 100.00000% of my disappointment comes in with the
reactions here. I thought you were fans of B5 and Joe's writing.
I am.
What I *didn't* think was that you were fans of Bruce or Mira or
whatever...
I didn't think you were that trivial.
I Guess it's a distance thing...
(and if Joe's fucking with our heads, he's seriously underestimated
the depth of feeling here...)
((p.p.s. I don't think he is.))
