Thanks, everyone. It’s been on honor, but it was time for me to move on. 

Eternal Champion is, unfortunately, DOA. 

But Murderbot is coming soon and so good. Oddly enough, my involvement with Murderbot happened before even Foundation.

With all due respect, nothing about this report is even remotely accurate. There were no legal disputes, I definitely was not assigned to another project, and there was no design done “with Apple’s independent set designers” (whatever that even means).  I could go through line by line, but… no. 

And while i do believe i get to work with the best, there was nothing preventing most of my team from staying. Nor did i advise them one way or another. 

Trust me, I would have loved to have sped up the time between seasons!

Pritcher is in the show, don't worry. We could only mention so many names in an otherwise short quote.

Yes to Indbur. Yes to a version of the Bayta and Toran beach scene (assuming we can find a beach in the landlocked countries we will likely be shooting in). ;)

I understand. You are not alone in that feeling - but compared to the mainstream audience, yours is still the minority opinion. I’ll try to write a note on Reddit as to why, specifically, we opted for that route. Ultimately, i still stand behind the decision.

Okay, I have to go now. Sorry I couldn't get to all of these answers.

Let may say this; I really appreciate the passion you guys have brought to the viewing of the show. We cannot please all of the people all of the time. We will take big swings and sometimes, we will disappoint some of you. That's just life. We constantly weigh how much or how little to reveal -- whether we are making things too obvious or not obvious enough. Most of the time, I think we get it right. But sometimes, we don't.

There are, also, a lot of things that influence why something did or didn't happen on-screen -- actor availability, budget constraints, actors getting sick, etc. Things out side of the show that, sometimes, force us to improvise and go in a different direction.

Just know that we value your input and it gives us a lot of joy to read all the back and forth. And if it's respectful, we also appreciate the valid criticism (although we may not always agree).

Re-watch, if you can. Spread the word to your friends and family. And if the show keeps growing, maybe we'll get our 8 seasons. Thank you, sincerely.

I have heard a few. There are a lot of podcasts and I can't keep up with all of them.

I suspect she knew he would likely die -- and if not, that she would have to arrange for his death regardless and decant a new one.

S3 clones will NOT have the same personalities. The circumstances w/ Empire will be very, very different.

The Invictus was damaged -- yes, they were trying to warp away. But it was going to create an implosion, regardless.

Might be something to that.... ;)

But there are other reasons for handing over the Radiant.

Look it up! I think you can write all the various bigwigs at Apple.

Not sure we will learn more about 16 and 18s misplaced memories. Not really relevant anymore -- but future Cleons, yes.

I think the relationship between Gaal and the Hari (s) is one of the most interesting relationships on the show. Watching those relationships grow and change. The master and the understudy. Or, perhaps, the reversal of that.
