Hi all! I haven't posted for a while, but wanted to let you know that after the whole MySpace horror, Steve DeKnight has also agreed to answer questions at TWOP.

You can post your questions today on the "Questions For Steven S, DeKnight" thread. Just read the rules. One question per person, etc. Then the thread will be closed until Saturday at 2pm where you can see him reply in real time. And you can then answer any questions he asks.

TWOP questions tend to gear toward the writing aspects so please no shipper wars. And please don't post this at other sites.

Cool...

Thanks, newbrando.

Isn't Steven Deknight a hack who likes ripping off B horror movies for his episodes?

triplet · May 20, 2006

Nice....

Actually, he said that the writers have very little choice, if any, in what they are assigned to write.

What is the process that determines which writers get to write which episodes? Do Al and Miles decide? Do you get to request specific episodes? Do they try to balance it out between all the writers?

DEKNIGHT: Luck of the draw. With the exception of big event episodes like the premier, ep. 100, and the finale, we usually don't know what the specifics of the story are when we're up on deck. Sometimes you get Silver K paranoid Clark, sometimes you get an exploding baby. You never know.

Yes, Al and Miles decide who's writing which ep.

Nope, you don't get to request anything. Hmm... Maybe I should try that next year...

zanos · May 20, 2006

If I was forced to write an episode like the one he did I'd either hang my head in shame and keep a low profile or apologize for it. He did neither. Actually he seemed somewhat proud.

triplet · May 20, 2006

You talking about Mercy?

That's a great episode, he should be proud of it... Now, Ageless on the other hand.

Yikes...

Yup Trip, "Mercy" was one of the best episodes from S5. :up:

He did admit to hating being forced to write "Ageless." I don't blame him.

Mercy was one of the best of the season, if not the series...

It's Lionel's "Shattered".... He was stripped down and flayed open emotionally...

He's never been that vulnerable on the show before and it was a great character revealing story for him, as well as advancing several story lines from the season.

:up:

Awesome.

DeKnight was asked some interesting questions over at TWOP and he gave some interesting answers. Worth a check.

Proud of plagerism? I see.

So what's your point in visiting these Smallville Boards?

Yes my spelling is at issue when DeKnight steals someone else's work. lol. I guess I shouldn't have expected much. You are a smallville fan.

Hmmm.... I think I'm smelling something that resembles a troll.

I'm not an apologist for Smallville, hardly, but you're making quite an accusation on little or no evidence.

The stories are similar but Steven didn't steal anything.... He maybe borrowed the general idea from Saw but the implementation was entirely different and that is an important distinction.

It's like a few years back when there were two huge-meteors-are-going-to-destroy-earth movies... (Armageddon and Deep Impact)

Those were totally different films but had one thing the same: a huge meteor was set to hit Earth.

Saw and Mercy are the same thing.

Same idea, but the episode and the movie have totally different expressions of that idea.

If you have such a dislike of things Smallville.....then don't come in here only to antagonise those who do.

Elijya · May 21, 2006

Zanos, cool it.

I bet if you named your favorite movie or TV episode of ANYTHING, I could name a dozen other movies or TV shows it ripped off. NOTHING is 100% original these days.

Plus it was a major character motion episode, we learned quite a bit about Lionel and his inner thoughts. It also explained almost every plot hole Lionel had up to that point.

So did Antz plagiarize A Bugs Life then? Or did Shark's Tale plagiarize Finding Nemo?

Ideas get repeated many times, but Like was said here, the ideas are implamented in different ways. Very little in the way of movies and tv shows don't borrow from others. Don't act as if Smallville is the only one that does that.
