		<description><![CDATA[December, no one&#039;s saying &quot;bend over and take it without complaint&quot;. I am saying that you don&#039;t get to tell them how to do their jobs. Your feedback can be expressed in many other ways: watch or don&#039;t watch, and tell them why in the many venues open to you (politely, please!). But that should stop short of trying to threaten or dictate tasks to them. 

A fan CANNOT &quot;fix&quot; a show, no matter what they do. Thinking of things in those terms shows a misguided understanding of the relationship.]]></description>

No. Fans only have the right to not watch it anymore, and the right to express why.

If they want the right to &quot;fix&quot; the TV show ...comic/movie/anime/game... they should get together a good resume highlighting their (assumed superior) creative skills and apply for a job at the production studio like everyone else in the world has to.]]></description>

When did creators get the idea that they are gods and we should all bow down and kiss their asses no matter what crap they put out? If a good show is being ruined, the fans have every right to try to fix it. Without an audience, the precious creator is out of a job. Fans are what keep the show on the air, so yes, they should have a say in the content.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While companies chase fan money, I&#039;m not sure they&#039;re listening to fan opinion any more than before. For instance, I cannot think of any successful &quot;bring back my show&quot; effort. Even Jericho showed that the studio was right -- it didn&#039;t get any more viewers when it was returned, and it was quickly cancelled again. Family Guy returned because of DVD sales, not because of a campaign. It&#039;s money that talks, not talk. :) 

I think you&#039;re right, I think fans do think that they have more say (because they now know more people like them online), but I don&#039;t think that&#039;s an accurate perception.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Part of the reason for current fan &#039;entitlement&#039; / their belief they can dictate the course of a series is because the media has been listening to the fan dollar a lot in recent years. The plethora of Superhero movies that claim to be faithful to their source material are often worse films than ones which use the source as a starting point and go in a different direction. Many TV shows are now run by former fans - Doctor Who in particular - and many of the creators of TV shows and films - Paul Cornell, Kevin Smith, Neil Gaiman etc. - have friendly conversational blogs that encourage greater involvement with fans on a level that suggests a releationship deeper than available before between creators and their letterpage respondants. Fans have brought back TV shows from cancellation by letter writing campaigns and sending relevant &#039;gifts&#039; releated to a show to the TV studios and by buying shows on DVD in numbers that countered their viewing figures on TV.
Fans have been empowered by the internet and a level of interaction with the media rarely seen before the last decade, so we shouldn&#039;t be surprised that the vocal minorities of fandom now believe they have a greater say in media production than the companies that make our entertainment might like.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yeah I guess, for me I like the Chuck and Sara relationship but its only a part of why I like the show. Their journey which I&#039;m sure is designed to have them find each other again is interesting.

My favorite parts are the moments with Chuck&#039;s family (not as fun lately there though) and the wacky adventures that keep me on the edge of my seat. Yet don&#039;t have that dark danger that means you think the characters are in REAL danger.

Though the one sub-character death this season was VERY shocking in its brutality. I&#039;m glad they got past it very quickly since it didn&#039;t seem to fit with how the action had been done prior.]]></description>
