So far, the network (PTEN) is letting us do everything we want to
do, even going for our more dangerous stories. Which pleases me beyond
anything I can convey to you. They're trusting us to do what we think is
right.

We're definitely punching up the Commander. And you're correct; not
all problems in real life are resolved in a day, much less an hour (though
that's really kind of a misnomer; generally the "span" of a TV story may
cover 3-4 days of story time...you just see parts of that story selected
for showing in a one-hour period...sort of the highlights).

We do plan to bring in some things that seem at first unimportant,
then a few episodes down, learn the significance of it. That can be a
great deal of fun.
