I’m going to be very frank and very honest about this one – there were certain parties within the gears of the TCGS machine that do not feel good about this episode. They expressed major hesitation about it. This lead to a huge philosophical debate about the nature of what TCGS should be. Because my personal opinion? I think this show is the first one on Fusion in the hour format and I really feel like it fulfills the promise of what TCGS has always said we can be with a budget. Calls, characters, unplanned chaos. Laughs and heart and unexpected moments. I’m proud of this one enough that I fought for a chance to put it out into the world as you get to see it, because I really want to see if you guys agree or disagree. I may be wrong. Maybe you’ll watch this and feel like it’s off the mark, like I shouldn’t have fought so hard, that I dropped the ball in trying to present the episode this way, that it sucks. These things sometimes happen. It always stings, but I can take it if I’m wrong. I just really wanted a chance to see whether or not I was, and ultimately I was granted that chance. If I’m wrong and you guys aren’t like “Yes – this feels like TCGS in a great way that feels both familiar but new and exciting”, then that mistake falls squarely on my shoulders. But – and this is a huge but – if you watch this and you’re like “This is TCGS, baby, this is the show I love”, if this speaks to you in a way maybe you’ve missed a bit, if it contains elements or principles you think are important to the fabric of TCGS, if this hits your gut in a way you enjoy, I will humbly ask that you express that somewhere. Be vocal. Facebook, Twitter, whatever, even in the smallest or most token of ways – just make your feelings on this episode public. It will help me continue to bring you a show I love in a way that I love and that I think you also will love. Bottom line – If this is the way you like the show, or getting close to it, I need your help letting the world know. It’s really the only thing that matters – is how people lock in and react. Grassroots all day. Vocal people expressing their true feelings have a major effect, at least with us. And I want to be clear – I don’t want you to lie. If you don’t like it, let me know that too. I can take it if you guys, the loyal viewers of the show, feel like I missed the mark. I don’t want you to make up positivity for my sake. Just – if that positivity is naturally there, it would be a huge help for the show at large if you made that known.
