Question: It seems like for serialized television, cable would have so many more advantages, with a shorter season and somewhat of a guarantee that you’re going to be able to finish a season, which aren’t necessarily true on network television. So, why still do serialized television through a network?
JON FAVREAU: I think what you’re seeing now, and as a viewer and consumer of stories myself, is that what started off as a trend with cable television, has spread out and now is hitting network. The audience has a tremendous capacity for sophisticated storylines. And as the movie industry becomes more and more restrictive, for a number of reasons, you’re seeing this opening up on the TV front, and that’s part of why I came on board this project. There’s always going to be dumb stuff out there, but there is room for really smart storylines.
