Executive Love

Joss Whedon: I find that when you read a script, or rewrite something, or look at something that's been gone over, you can tell, like rings on a tree, by how bad it is, how long it's been in development.
Neil Gaiman: Yes. It really is this thing of executives loving the smell of their own urine and urinating on things. And then more execs come in, and they urinate. And then the next round. By the end, they have this thing which just smells like pee, and nobody likes it.
Joss Whedon: There's really no better way to put it.
- Neil Gaiman and Joss Whedon, September 25th 2005

Anyway, thankyouthankyouthankyou for sharing! A conversation between two of the legs of my triad of awesomeness isn't something I stumble across every day...

By the way, now that BSG is done in all its glory, all I need from Ron Moore is a demonstration that he, like those three, can do Excellence in several stories, not just one, and he'll probably dig his way into making this a quorum of four.

And no, I'm afraid I mix media up a bit in my tripod, as the third leg of that handy cooking aid of awesome is Thom Yorke, the lyricist, singer and occasional guitar player in Radiohead.
But now that I think of it, Mr. Sorkin could indeed be the metaphorical pot, or something. Or perhaps I could have bumped Messrs. Whedon or Gaiman up to pot status and used Mr. Sorkin as a leg.
This pointless metaphor requires more pondering, and as I am currently supposed to be working on my Athens home exam, what better time?
