To show how ridiculous I am...I'm sitting here desperate for an update on how his pitch session went :-).

And I don't even know the guy...

But my positive energy was definitely sent in his direction.

Tom has an intriguing entry today in which he says, in part:

He concludes by saying

I don't have a myspace acct, so I can't comment...but what is MISSING from his blog is this:

WHAT IS THE SOLUTION??? Even if it IS the fault of the HW/BDW....what is the solution to "de-hack" them? I'd really like Tom's opinion.... And everyone else's....

I don't agree. I don't think there's anything missing from Tommy C's blog today. I haven't replied to it yet. It's one I have to think about. Primarily, what it makes me go to immediately is that he's not saying anything new or anything that's not long been known by fans when it comes to the Writing staff & although he doesn't say this, it's not new in many cases in terms of what choices the HW has, either. This is not Doug Marland's world & even at that, he had to go through GH & GL before he landed at ATWT & was able to have everything in the right place & time to be able to be a visionary HW.

And, there is no one canonical solution. That's also not new & not known.

I get what he's saying, and I'm one of the ones who thinks killing off Bryant Montgomery was one of Hogan's worst decisions ever. The episodes surrounding his death though, were some of the best work under Hogan. It was really the long-term execution that failed, and made Bryant's death seem meaningless. That's on Hogan.

The logic behind a character's motivation should be part of the overall story, not left for the scriptwriter to invent on a daily basis. I think that would "de-hackify" stories a lot.
