I'm not so sure about that my Gnomish friend. More and more these days actors and writers talk about stuff they've read in blogs about their shows/characters. While I don't think random comments and posts are going to bring about major changes in plots and characters I think that if the producers of the show see a consistent opinion about something it may cause them to rethink some things. After all television and movie producers have often turned to focus groups to get honest opinions from "the common folk" about their product. Here they have a very wide and diverse sampling of opinions that they don't have to pay anything for. Let's not forget Snakes on a Plane which was HEAVILY influenced by internet talk. Of course it kind of tanked at the box office, got terrible reviews and was generally regarded as a joke, but it still set a precedent.

Sorry Jotham I stand corrected. I've mostly kept my distance from the whole SOP experience.

Still, what must have been going through their heads, what do people like in films, snakes and planes so we'll make a film with snakes and planes! We'll inventively call it Snakes on a Plane because there are snakes on a plane! What more could you want in entertainment? Hmm...

Snakes + Plane is a good combo. But what about Marmite + chocolate spread?!

Are you trying to disturb my tastbuds today...not sure about that combo! 

[Hellish Gnome]

As one of those evil Bovril boys you wouldn't understand!

Just the sort of arrogance I've come to expect from you uncouth marmite mobsters! You and your strange and mysterious kin!  tha's right, I stick my tongue out at you in a rebellious way!  so there!
