Robert, it's REALLY nice of you to keep coming 'round here to answer our questions when you're working on something else!

Excellent, I was already looking forward to the upcoming 4th season of that show. I tend to keep an eye out for you former DS9 guys' names showing up attached to new shows, it's been a good indicator that I'll like it. :)

It's strange.. I have been trying to get my wife into the TV series the same way she took 2 years to get me to read the first of the novels. I mentioned "Well, Robert Wolfe is the executive producer, the guy who did all that DS9 stuff". And her one question was to hike up an eye brow at me and ask "The early episodes or the later ones???"
But apparently she's a fan of all the later stuff in the series, so all is good.

FROM: S1-11: Things that Go Bump Thread:
--- Quote from: BigMama on April 10, 2007, 03:19:23 PM ---I checked the credits when I watched this episode again last night and the screenwriter credit went to our friend, Robert Hewett Wolfe. I just have to say that every episode that I have really liked has been written by Robert. I personally wish he could do them all!

Hm. Lets look at this. Like it or hate it in terms of continuity, you have to admit that "Storm Front" was more true to the books than many of the other episodes, and Robert Hewitt Wolfe would have spent extra time on it to sell it as a concept for a series. More time means more direct input. Then we look at "Things that Go Bump," which Robert wrote. Wonderful writing. Great moments. Chock full of classic Harry lines. Very true to the book characters. I'd say Robert not only understands how to produce a good show (and it a terrific writer) but has one heck of a good take on the Dresden universe. I for one, am deeply grateful that he took this project on. Coming on the forum and answering our questions is just icing on the cake. I know how busy he is, but I really hope he doesn't get so caught up in other things that he can't write more episodes. He's GOOD at it.
I see a lot of nit-picking on various threads and complaints about advertising (much needed dollars for a show - I'm glad when ANYONE wants to pay good money, supporting the show, to be seen during the commercial break). Sometimes I feel people have lost sight of the bigger picture. The simple truth is that we owe Robert and his lead stars (Paul Blackthorne and Terrance Mann) our heartfelt gratitude for bringing Butcher's delightful characters even further to life, and in doing it so very well despite the constraints they fight against in terms of time/money/corporate politics. They do a fantastic job.
So, to Robert, Paul, Terrance, and all the others who work on this show and do their best to make it a good one:
THANK YOU!!
THANK YOU!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!
Your efforts are appreciated.

What she said. :D I for one haven't lost sight of that bigger picture, and I sincerely apologize if I ever sound like I have. I have the utmost respect and admiration for Paul*, Terrence, Robert, Valerie, and everyone else involved with the production. Thanks for all you do!
*(yes, even at my worst "fangirl," I respect the hell out of Paul - he's too talented not to respect him.)
