Jill Soloway Quotes
We do want the freedom to move scenes from episode to episode to episode. And we do want the freedom to move writing from episode to episode to episode, because as it starts to come in and as you start to look at it as a five-hour movie just like you would in a two-hour movie, move a scene from the first 30 minutes to maybe 50 minutes in.

It's so complicated, and we're so still using the rules that were built for episodic television that we're really trying to figure it out.
