It's definitely intentional. The purpose of any kind of art
should be to make you feel something. If it's created with passion,
then the work mirrors the intensity of emotion felt by the creator,
passing it along to the viewer, who may not even recognize what's
happening, or be able to pin it down...but it's there. I write very
passionately, and the show needs to feel passionate to be what I need
it to be. Otherwise what's the point?

Passion, as I've noted elsewhere, has become passe. It's old
fashioned; the proper attitude now seems to be detatchment and
cynicism. It doesn't help that so much of TV is done by rote,
recycling the same stories from place to place. Interestingly, I think
we're seeing *less* of that in the last few years than in the entire
decade preceding, so maybe this is a good turn.
