Kripke responds to fans' questions...
Feb. 7th, 2008 03:39 pm... here! Spoilers, beware!
What caught my interest and bothered me the most...
Kripke on Bela:
... but I think we need to push a little harder, we have to do a better job muddying up the character, making her human and real to the audience.
Beware, Kripke! Push hard enough and what didn't bend will break! It bothers me that he was ready to kick out Jo based on the fans' negative response but instead of doing the same with Bela, he wants to "humanize her" *rolls eyes* You wanted a bitch? Keep her a bitch! Don't give us a doozy back-story, really.
Kripke about the "bright look" of S3:
It was very intentional. We wanted to create a more dramatic contrast between the "real" world, in which we all live, and the "secret" supernatural world that exists just beneath the surface.
I think that this experiment definitely failed, at least IMHO. I miss the dark and blue atmoshpere of S1. The only thing lacking in S3 are blooming flowers and bunnies hopping around, really. It's a horror show, not some afternoon special!
Though what I do like is how confidently he talks about "we will do this and that in S4", like S4 is a done deal already.
