“The nice thing about a series is you can end on cliffhangers all the time. You can be like, 'You know what? Here we go, this person just died, end of book.' And with the end of the series, you're very conscious of all the plotlines that were left hanging. There's a balance there to wrap those up but still leave it exciting.” KnowsPersonsStillsBookEndsLeftNiceLike YouBalanceConsciousExcitingDiedSeriesWrapsNice ThingsCliffhangerLeft Hanging Author:Richelle Mead

“When I look at my career, the bulk of it has been television, and I love working in television. But there's a speed at which you do it.

“We do want the freedom to move scenes from episode to episode to episode. And we do want the freedom to move writing from episode to episode to episode, because as it starts to come in and as you start to look at it as a five-hour movie just like you would in a two-hour movie, move a scene from the first 30 minutes to maybe 50 minutes in. In a streaming series, you would now be in a different episode. It's so complicated, and we're so still using the rules that were built for episodic television that we're really trying to figure it out.” WantWritingTryingFirstsLooksStillsTwoDifferentMovingHoursFiveMinutesFiguresTelevisionLike YouSceneBuiltSeriesComplicatedEpisodesStreaming Author:Jill Soloway

“It's going to sound like the easy answer, but I love them both. I do! I really don't prefer one over the other. With movies, you really dive into a character for two to three months, but then it's gone. With a TV series, you have a constant location you're living in, and you're always working on the same character along with people who are like your own family. I'm lucky to have done both.” PeopleTwoDoneCharacterThreeEasySoundAnswersGoneTvsLike YouMonthsLuckyConstantSeriesLocationThree MonthsTv SeriesAlways WorkingEasy Answers Author:Laura Vandervoort
“At halftime [of Game 7], one of our oldest guys on the team, James Jones, came to me, and he's like, "Man, it's time for you to do something. You've been sleeping the whole playoffs, the whole final series." First couple of shots I got coming out, I was like, "You know what, I'm gonna shoot it." Fortunately they fell, and we started making our way back.” KnowsMenWayFirstsWholeGuyGamesSleepTeamLike YouCoupleShotsSeriesFinalsComing OutPlayoffsHalftime Author:J. R. Smith
