“I had problems with a lot of the changes made by the CW, but none more than refusing the scripted same-sex kiss in “Lord of the Pi’s”. That’s when it stopped being about what could be changed in order to attract more viewers, to plain discrimination. I hate that they ruined our show.”
Note: I don’t remember same-sex kiss plot in ‘Lord of The Pi’s”, anon. So I used the scene in ‘Un-American Graffiti’ instead. If you want me to change the pic, please let me know which scene do you want to use.
‘I didn’t ship Piz and Veronica until I watched the Chris and Kristen interview on the season 3 DVD set. I guess it’s because I thought they were so cute and funny together, that when I go back and watch them as Piz and Veronica, I want them together that way too.”
Note: Check out THIS submission and the interview video
“I feel like they sometimes tried too hard with finding “different names”. Maybe they were going for ‘original’ but Stosh a.k.a Piz? Really? It just feels like they were trying to hard to be ‘original’ or ‘creative’; see also Weevil, Mercer, Bronson, Duncan, Dick, Celeste, etc.”
Note: The name ‘Piz’ is a tribute to Mark Piznarski, a film director who directed first two episodes of VM in season 1. The name Duncan and Parker are tributes to Tim Duncan and Tony Parker from Spurs. The name Dick Casablancas came from the writers when they didn’t know what to call Dick at the time - because he behaved like a dick, they called him ‘Dick’ instead; Casablancas was added for the noir purpose. Many other names are either tributes/homages of something, or based on their friends/relatives’ names.
