No, the fault was mine, not the suits.
Prior to exec producing B5, I had never edited a show before, never had final cut before...had never even been IN an editing room for more than 5 minutes before. So here I am, given the director's cut...and I know it's real slow, but I haven't done this before, so I don't trust my instincts. I let it go with very minimal changes.
And I've been kicking myself ever since. I should've followed my instincts, but instead I deferred to the director's cut.
It's a mistake I have never made since.
Even so, that first cut just gnaws at me...I *know* I can make it better, stronger, even if only a bit in a few places, that would help salve my soul over this thing.
