nigeltdeNot very enlightening but nevertheless entertaining Joss Whedon and Neil Gaiman interview:
JW: 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.
NG: 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.
(Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead was pretty deritative and uninspiring . I quit watching after Josh got howwibly howwibly stabbed.)
