Honolulu Star-Advertiser reporter Mike Gordon wrote a great piece on the potential for people to reveal plot twists during the Sunset on the Beach premiere episode of Hawaii Five-0 via social networking.
The ability to instantly communicate with like-minded people definitely adds to the TV viewing pleasure of fans everywhere but the potential to ruin a surprise is just 140 characters away.
Peter Lenkov, the show’s executive producer, admitted to being a little worried. If you live here, though, you’ll love his reasoning.
“There are major twists and turns in the story that we are very nervous about getting out,” he said. “But at the end of the day we have to do this and we want to do it and it is very important that we do it. We feel connected to the island and we want to give something back.”
Lenkov hopes tweeting fans will limit the number of juicy spoilers out of respect for the show.
You know someone will spill because some of us can't be quiet lol. Wish I could be there.
ReplyDeleteI hope no one spoils!
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping we get a few spoilers. This is why I joined Spoiler TV in the first place.
ReplyDeleteHa, I'm sure a few things will leak out :)
ReplyDeleteI get that it's his show and he doesn't want everything to get out ahead of time, but no spoilers? Really? Has Peter Lenkov ne'er used or even looked at the Internet?
ReplyDeleteAs long as the mainstream reporting does print the spoilers without warning space (which I've seen happen more on main stream sites (TVGuide) than I have on fan sites. In general the fans are kind enough to give people a heads up. TVGuide has listed spoilers in their article titles.
