Steve Ogden Braincast #21
The latest edition of the Steve Ogden Braincast is up online with a little bit of Director’s Commentary! Part Two of the great Spoilerific Director’s Commentary for Moon Town: Breaking Lane. This time, I talk about my process for coming up with the first chapter, and how the whole thing might have started with a Skeeter. I also talk about Lost, Heroes, and the way flashbacks are somewhat abused by writers of episodic content. Music by Tim Larkin.
