I thought this comment about Andy was a bit misplaced in a thread about Jack being mortal, when other times those comments might have been in the "Character Appreciation and Loathing" section. I've reacted to incidents elsewhere on other websites in which fanfiction writers or commenters might carry out their revenge on characters they don't like with the assumption that who they're writing for will appreciate it. In those instances oftentimes the fans behind this writing may not be looking for opposing viewpoints, because it's written for a different audience. I may not be that audience that they're looking for, but if they tell readers ahead of time that's what they want to accomplish, I try to spend more time on what I do enjoy and let others have their areas of interest as well.

Other than that, I think that RTD will do what's best for the story in TW4. It is his show to do with what he likes, and I don't think he will do something just for the sake of punishing a character. It's up to him to write and produce the story he wants to show on the screen. I'll respect what he has to say and what he wants to do with the series.
