[QUOTE="TwistedBishop, post: 2843145, member: 12503"] Straczynski has been working in TV for over 20 years. You're bringing up three problems as proof he's irrational and difficult to work with? Let's look at them a little more closely anyway. Crusade was canceled, we learned from a TNT source, strictly as a ratings decision. The drama that happened afterwards was to facilitate that end. If you want to call him a liar for saying so, feel free, but he does have a history of being truthful with his posts, with over a decade of archived material. I think you'd find yourself in the minority with such an opinion. Jeremiah he left because he couldn't stand MGM executives. He admitted as much. And now we have this Mongoose situation, where it appears they have been clouding the particulars of his involvement, and perhaps even stealing from him. In his last post to Mongoose, he specificially denies them the right to his notes and unpublished scripts. He's not going to do that if they own them legally. He wouldn't be able to. Despite what your personal opinion of him may be, he's been in this business for a long time; he knows his rights. All that said, is he difficult to work with? I'd bet he is. That's what happens when someone is uncompromising about quality work. It's also a rare thing in a town of yes-men and sycophants. If people in Hollywood stood their ground more often, we'd have better material coming from them. [/QUOTE]
