Sadly, nothing new (only in that this BS has been happening since Adam). Will be hard to watch Lost in the same way ever again, though.

rachelingrisano's review
First of all, I’m not sure of the motivation of the author. She seemed very knowledgeable of the industry – as a critic. But I don’t really understand why she was writing this book, and then constantly defending herself of why she was writing this book. I would’ve rather heard from an actual industry insider. Many of the stories are so vague that it’s hard to become invested.
