Filmingen av Joss Whedons (Buffy, Firefly etc.) nye serie ble i september stanset i et par uker. Whedon gir nå, via bloggen Whedonesque, en forklaring på hva som egentlig skjedde.

Yes, we’ve had to make adjustments. Yes, it’s been hard and I’ve been depressing to be around for awhile. Basically, the Network and I had different ideas about what the tone of the show would be. They bought something somewhat different than what I was selling them, which is not that uncommon in this business. Their desires were not surprising: up the stakes, make the episodes more stand-alone, stop talking about relationships and cut to the chase. Oh, and add a chase.

Så det var litt trøblete en stund, men nå ser det heldigvis ut som om ting går bedre:

This kind of back and forth has happened on every show I’ve done, so if you liked those, chances are that was a part of why. And the need to focus on the essentials of what makes this universe tick – and which wire to cut to make it stop – really does bring up our game. So we as a staff have gone from blinking like unhoused moles to delving in with the same relish we had when we started. The show is really coming together now, in a way that I believe excites us and satisfies the Network. Of course, I have no idea if anybody else will like it, but I have the same faith in the staff, the crew and the remarkable cast that I always did.

Tror dette kan bli topp, jeg. Nok en grunn til å glede seg til 2009.
