but if you hire a writer and promise him that the character he is working with can have complete independance during his run, is he not intitled to get a little hurt when they go back on their word (especially when he's really delivered with critical aclaim and sales)

not really trying to argue, but it's like taking that episode of bsg called scar, and focussing on the conveniese of the majority of the fleet being out of the picture for one episode, rather than the brilliance of the episode itself
