EW Showrunners Panel - Part 1

Hi All!

Well I have returned home from San Diego will all kinds of goodies to share. For your appetizer, a small clip from the first panel I attended with Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. Here's the description:

--------------
Entertainment Weekly’s The Visionaries: Showrunners— Carlton Cuse (Lost), Damon Lindelof (Lost), Josh Schwartz (Chuck, Gossip Girl), Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies), and Josh Friedman (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) are the television producers who are changing the face of television with deeply immersive entertainments marked by distinctive, cutting edge storytelling. They have also been at the forefront of bringing "genre programming" or "cult TV" to the mainstream. Prepare for a candid conversation about creative integrity in a commercial medium and the future of broadcast TV in an increasingly digital world. Spoiler Alert! Upcoming plot developments may be teased. Moderated by Entertainment Weekly senior writer Jeff Jensen.
--------------

This is also my first attempt at putting a video together, editing it, and publishing it on You Tube...so please bear with me as I am running on a 50-hour day. Once I get the hang of things I can build them better, stronger, faster...

The question asked by Jeff Jensen is in regards to the effect of the strike on each of the shows, and specifically asks Damon and Carlton about how they managed to tell their story in less time and if there was anything they were "bummed out about" that they didn't get to explore this past season.

This clip also contains a mild spoiler regarding some of the characters in next season who will have their stories fleshed out a bit more.

Enjoy!
