“One of the roles I hold really close to my heart is a small "under-five" role I did on "The Young and the Restless."

“When picking a show, I took into consideration who my fans are. Let's be honest, Buffy was a mid-season replacement on The WB, based on a failed movie. If it wasn't for the outpouring of fans and critics supporting us, we would have been canceled after four episodes. Sure, you want to stretch and you want to do different things, but it's also our job to think about who our fans are and what they want to see. Ultimately, that's why we do.” IfsThinkingWantHas BeensDifferentShowsJobsFourFansHonestSeasonsCriticsBeing HonestConsiderationDifferent ThingsEpisodesReplacements Author:Sarah Michelle Gellar
“The way history is currently taught in schools, jumping from Hitler to the Henrys, is like a nightmare vision of Star Wars, where you have episode four before you have episode one.

“It's easy to leave people wanting more after the first episode, but it's hard to leave people wanting more after the 24th episode. And it's my job, more than anybody else's, to keep that in mind.

“I think what people watch television for is the emotional continuity, from episode to episode, and feeling that the experience that they had, four episodes ago, has actually been building to an episode that comes later, and knowing that the characters are growing, as a result of that, and making mistakes, is really, really important to the way people connect to television.” PeopleThinkingWayImportantCharacterFeelingsResultsMistakeWatchesKnowingFourGrowingTelevisionBuildingEmotionalMaking MistakesEpisodesContinuity Author:Alex Kurtzman
“The best thing about the Nikita show is that there's so many layers. Even after the pilot, the next four have a twist. Don't think that you've seen it all or that you know it now, and that it's not going to have any more surprises. There's a surprise in every episode, so it's a lot to keep track of.” ThinkingKnowsShowsNextFourSurpriseTrackBest ThingsPilotsLayersEpisodesTwists Author:Lyndsy Fonseca
