Hi Frank,

Thank you for doing another AMA. I thoroughly enjoyed The Man in the High Castle, and hope that it goes into production. My question is in 2 parts: as a content creator, how different is it to produce content for Amazon's system in comparison to say, American networks or the BBC?

And secondly, with Amazon and Netflix now being considered major players in TV production, what are your thoughts and observations on how this has changed or influenced network and cable television in general?

That's a really interesting point you made, about thinking of the narrative differently when the audience will likely be consuming the entire season in a day. I supposed you can say it's like conceiving the narrative as an 8-to-13-hour movie rather than an evolving weekly narrative (as in, you release the episode, and there's feedback from the audience and critics).

Thank you for your responses. Those are really great food for thought on digital platforms and traditional broadcasters!

Hi Chris,

I wanted to take this opportunity to say a heartfelt thank you for creating such a strong and unique character like Scully. Having Scully as a role model at a very formative part of my life was very important, and being a fan of the show has led me to my career path.

It's good to have you back on television - I love The After, and am very intrigued, once again, with the characterisation of Gigi. I hope we will get to see more of the series soon. Was there any particular inspiration that you drew from for the show (apart from the fear of being stuck in elevators like you mentioned in the interview with Avi @ XFN!)?
