Week 1, HERE

Already someone theorising that ‘Bryan or his handler likely didn’t know the implications of what they were tweeting’. I’m confused as to the assumption that he is a/blind and b/somehow intellectually challenged enough to just retweet without thought. If it fits certain agendas of course.

This fandom need to stop disrespecting other celebs because what they say doesn’t fit with their beliefs. Orlando Jones is getting shit on Twitter just because he wants to be funny and entertain us, it’s not his fault if people take everything he says for granted. Son now, let’s not start to question Bryan Fuller’s intelligence. He has mastered the art of social media a long time ago. He knows very well what he did.

As I see it this retweet Bryan Fuller has made is either because -GA is with PM and he does not like it? – because he is shipping GA and DD? -or because he knows GA and DD are together and want to tease them about it or perhaps want them to be public about it? I want the last to be right!

It’s simple, Fuller knows Gillian. They’re friends. As much as we don’t know if she knows Orlando Jones for real, we do know Fuller and Gillian know each other very well. He also has spent a whole night at a table with Gillian and PM, and a whole night last year with both David and Gillian. I think he does know the status of their relationship. So even if he doesn’t like PM, which is possible, I think out of respect and care for Gillian, he wouldn’t have retweeted that if he knew it could hurt her. PM is very respected in this industry, his show is a big one, he’s winning all the awards, so I don’t think Fuller would risk to upset him either. It means you can scratch the first option.
Which leaves you with the last two, and now, it’s up to you…

Bryan Fuller: We knew very early on that Gillian had to be part of this show and we wanted to see her like we had never seen her before. Since she had already done a photo series where she was portraying Lucy Ricardo, we had that image in our mind, so it was a very short step to casting her as Media, whose first incarnation in the book is as Lucy Ricardo. We called Gillian and told her what we had in mind for the character and how the character was going to manifest as a different dead celebrity every time we saw her; that it would give her an opportunity to create a hybridization of the Media character and the personality of the dead celebrity, and she was instantly on board. She’s a big fan of Neil Gaiman’s and we had a lot of fun working together on Hannibal.

She surprised us every time she took on one of these characters and inhabited their personality, but still maintained who she was as Media. I think Marilyn Monroe was the biggest transformation. She does Lucy Ricardo, David Bowie, Marilyn Monroe, and Judy Garland. She does, in one episode, David Bowie and Marilyn Monroe. We need to submit that to the Emmys. (X)
