Title: Chapter 1: A Different Kind Of Freedom
Congratulations!
Let me count the ways I'm in love with this young lady.
I haven't read anyone touch the topic of human sacrifices even though it was discussed heavily during IOTH. The sword in the Alley Sports Bar. The sacrifices that have to be made for messing with the scrolls. I'm glad you're exploring this and I love it. I was afraid you were going another direction with this but you surprised me and made this brilliant turn.
I love how Broots that Broots is, even if his the mastermind and was with the government infiltrating the Centre as a tech. He's still Broots. He's still worried. He must feel like he's sending his children away and putting the oldest, Jarod, in charge.
I love how you describe Jarod's concealed feelings. We don't always get to know how he's feeling. He always plays it cool and it's nice that he isn't so cool now and he's made some mistakes and revealed darkness. It's like you saw that in him before some of the others did, and instead of stopping writing the darker Jarod stories you wrote several more darkJarod stories. I love that about you.
I think it still alienates some fans because he's so sweet and so Greg Brady on the surface. It's his facade. He talks about Parker's. It takes one to know and that's why. He's hiding too. Jarod is dangerous and I needed to read your perspective to see that myself. It's like the truth is there and we don't want to see it.
Did you know that Michael T. Weiss wanted Jarod to be darker? It's in the special featurettes on the DVD. They said it. They said something about arguing about how dark he would go.
Season 5 would have been darker Jarod. Michael wanted Jarod to get darker.
You gave him what the networks didn't whether you're aware or not. I love it.
So, keep doing what you're doing. We like Jarod any flavor we can get him and you write him in all of the flavors of the rainbow and it's terrific. I love your work. More please?
