[QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [QB] Obviously writing the entire series out ahead of time would be impossible, but, yes, the major points should be plotted out, including how the series will end. For instance, if there is going to be a major revelation about the main character close to the end of the series, there should be hints being dropped all along. DS9 dropped the ball in this area. La Femme Nikita dropped the ball in this area. In fact, I can't think of any show that has done a really good job of this except maybe B5 (which I haven't watched all that much). As for actors leaving: there are several ways around this A) Plan departures for some of the supporting characters after a few seasons and make them sign contracts for that long. The main character has to under stand the the series will go for so long and be willing to commit i.e. sign a contract. B) Make everybody sign contracts for the series' five year run or whatever and make them stick to it. C) Write contingencies that allow for unexpected dropouts, injuries or deaths. Yah this one is kinda difficult, but not impossible. I'm not saying that any of this is simple. I'm saying it's what is needed to provide a truly satisfying, non-week-to-week-feeling show. Just MHO of course. [/QB][/QUOTE]
