00:00The story, yes, I'm involved. I usually start by offering an outline of how I would break it down, the
00:06book, into eight episodes, and we follow that pretty closely.
00:11Yeah, sure, the details are finessed and nudged, you know, here and there, but generally speaking, I'm involved in every
00:18script and I give notes on every version of every outline.
00:22I don't, like, sit in the writer's room, but I give feedback on everything, and I think it's been a
00:28really good process.
00:30I think we're refining, at least speaking for myself, how I can be involved and be the most helpful, and
00:36I'm very pleased.
00:37Some of the changes, I mean, really, most of them involve the fact that we're not in Percy's head 100
00:43% of the time.
00:44Yeah.
00:45So how do we deal with that and get his voice across, but also how can we capitalize that and
00:53maybe tell the same story but from multiple points of view, which makes it interesting, I hope, not only for
00:58new viewers but for people who have read the books and are seeing the story, oh, I never considered that.
