Um, did I miss something? (I have been gone for a while, I s'pose.) Seems a lot of you guys are upset at KS, and it having something to do with an ego, the upcoming plotlines of Andromeda, etc.?
Just kinda need a synopsis of what's going on, and how things came to this. Yes, I've read the threads below, so please don't redirect me. Just need to hear it in "plain English" from my friends.

Robert Hewitt Wolfe has been gone from Andromeda since September. He kept quiet about it at Tribune's request. Kevin, in inimitable foot in mouth fashion, let the cat out of the bag in a starburst interview earlier this mont. Robert was fired because his ideas are too smart. Kevin's vision for the show is more battles, more aliens, a less complicated story, putting the reuniting of the Commonwealth on the backburner in favor of playing Robin Hood, a more Dylan-centric show, less arc/more episodic story telling, less character tension, and catering to the casual viewer instead of the core audience.

While I'm fed up with the bashing I've seen on Slipstream (which is starting to rival and indeed out do the reprobates of the Nutforum), I'm upset at Tribune and more than a little angry and disappointed at Kevin, who at least appears to not be giving his fans (read:US) very much credit for understanding complex big stories, seems to be dismissing the core audience (read US AGAIN) in favor of catering to the casual viewer, and in my not so humble opinion has come off as more than a little arrogant in his tone and manner of putting things.

Why do I not mind posting this? Because it's all in the letter I sent him earlier this week. I hope he gets that some of his fans' faith in him is being severely tested by all of this.

anyways, in a nutshell, there's my view of things.

what Lil has said.

And then came out of the woodwork all of the questions and concerns many people have had for a long time, but were not comfortable voicing.

I really don't feel all that differently toward the man than I did a month ago. I'm a little curious to see what next season's Andromeda looks like. I hope it gets better!

Lil, thank you for that summing up. I would've done it myself, but I couldn't think of a good way to do it without writing a book.

Did this help any?
