Missy Good: no - that's true.
LADYHAWKE: missy is my offical partner in crime in this event .. she is one of the producers
Missy Good: I'll know when someone is, or isin't what I pictured when I wrote the part.

Missy Good: I'll also be in charge of wiring the offices.
LADYHAWKE: will also have a say in the casting ...
Moderator: Breen says: "lol Missy"

TRANSCRIPT:

Moderator: MamaZeus says: "why is it easier MG?"
Missy Good: You have time for character development.
LADYHAWKE: boy ....no kidding
Moderator: CPT Skip says: "Still no car chases, right?"
Missy Good: I can spread out the same timeline of the movie.. over 15 eps.
Missy Good: two hours, versus 15.

Moderator: MamaZeus says: "what different besides the time length between TV and Film?"
Missy Good: We want to do the router thing in NC, for instance.
Missy Good: it's just much easier to write when you're not trying to cram too much story into too little time.
