Re: Off-Season General Show Chat
There's only so much worldbuilding you can introduce in the first season or two, the introductory period when you're revealing how the show works; and beyond that period, if you spring new surprises on people, if they're significant enough to impact the world at all you ask yourself "Well, why didn't we know about this sooner?" and it feels like something tacked on after the fact (which it generally is). And yet you still have to try, because a TV show is like a biological colony—if it's not expanding, it's dying. You can't just reach a certain plateau and tell banal day-to-day stories for the rest of the show's life, not when its early charm came from learning new things about the world. And yet that's all they can do the longer the show goes on.
Basically what I'm saying is, I'm all for more
