People who end their sentences in ellipses should die.

You have to get over this whole "They're doing it for shock value" thing. The books' events are shocking enough, and I'm pretty sure that Dave and Dan, geniuses they are, are not aiming for something as amateurish as shock value. Eli Roth in the Hostel series, yes. Fred Durst in his Limp Bizkit albums, yes.

I always thought she was smarter in the series than in the books. She makes occasionally clever jokes and is very good at insulting and degrading people in the series. Her behaviour in the fourth and fifth book make her look like an absolute moronic strategist and an unwavering, wholly amoral bitch.

The style in which you choose to write implies that you have evidence to reinforce such a retarded yet dramatic claim. A

Your knowledge of the inner workings of DB and David's minds provides enough shock value for two premium cable networks.

Shock value, pandering, disloyalty to original subject matter, subjugation, pervasive, bad taste, buzzwords, buzzwords, and buzz expressions.

Because deadlines like the ones writers in shows such as that face are a reality. There are no deadlines for fantasy authors.

I think writing an episode of Two and Half Men, for example, isn't comparable to writing a 1000 page novel with 3 dozen significant characters.
