In Response To: Re: Halo Bulletin (With SPOPS summary) *SP* (thebruce0) : Exactly. I don't like the idea that Spartan Ops is purely written on a whim, : let alone Halo. But, after reading the bulletin, I think that's an extreme : conclusion. It sounds more like they have the idea of where it's going, : but the details don't necessarily line up, or haven't been decided... : In a way, that's a mechanic of a weekly production where you can change : things on the fly. You might finalize a last-minute idea which could : conflict with an idea yet to be implemented down the road, so when you get : there, it takes work to re-organize the narrative to keep it consistent. : But the over-arching narrative remains the same, or at least as unaltered : as feasible given the production. : I don't think they're like "we have no idea what the next episode will
: There are benefits and drawbacks to both types of storytelling... I just hope
For me its not even that, its just that sometimes you don't want to know, like you want to be blissfully ignorant about whats going on behind the scenes. I hope that makes sense. Funny thing about the Pixar mention above; That's how I was taught to write by one of my middle school teachers and that was a lesson that I really liked. Maybe she heard it from them too or something but I found that when we would have to do creative writing it was very helpful. As much as people or fans say they want to know everything, sometimes its more fun not knowing. That's all I'm trying to say.
