It is possible for someone to do this - that doesn't mean every production group can.  The number of folks with teh skills and sensibilities for this are probably limited.Again, you use one of the best shows in existence as a sign that everyone could do it, and logically that just does not follow.  JMS is not just every author.  And, guess what, even his accounting didn't handle all of the issues that came up.  Oh, and by the way, JMS has noted that the stress of the show was not good for his health - it was 5 years that aged him significantly.  Other authors/showrunners probably would have folded, and then... you'd not have gotten a satisfying end to the show, as the minds behind it would leave abruptly.So, no, this should not be an expected standard.Yeah, you see, there's that entitlement again.</blockquote>
