=== Revelations about the Game of Thrones pilot ===
The showrunners of Game of Thrones went on the Scriptnotes podcast and broke news about the poor condition of the original pilot. According to them, 90% of the pilot had to be reshot following a screening of the episode to Craig Mazin, and other fellow screenwriters.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/02/game-of-thrones-original-pilot-bad | title = Game of Thrones Show-Runners Get Extremely Candid About Their Original
=== The One with the Guys from Final Draft ===
Line 42 ⟶ 41:
On episode 129, August and Mazin welcomed [[Final Draft]] CEO and co-founder Marc Madnick, along with then product manager Joe Jarvis. Their visit was in response to negative comments made about the software on previous episodes, and Marc's desire to clear up what he perceived as misconceptions about both the software and the company.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://johnaugust.com/2014/scriptnotes-ep-129-the-one-with-the-guys-from-final-draft-transcript|title= Scriptnotes, Ep 129: The One with the Guys from Final Draft — Transcript |last1= |first1= |date= February 6, 2014|website= johnaugust.com|publisher= |accessdate= March 16, 2016}}</ref>
Instead, Madnick offered a revealing look
In response to the episode's controversy, filmmaker and software developer Kent Tessman pointed out that a possible reason many of Madnick's excuses were met with pushback is that, simply, "there might be technical people listening."<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.kenttessman.com/2014/02/notes-on-scriptnotes/|title= Notes on Scriptnotes |last1= Tessman|first1= Kent|date= February 8, 2014|website= kenttessman.com|publisher= |accessdate= March 16, 2016}}</ref>
Line 56 ⟶ 55:
The day after the episode's release, Alan Kistler of The Mary Sue wrote about these comments as well as Goyer's take on Martian Mahunter. His summation:
<blockquote>So to recap. She-Hulk is just a sex power fantasy rather than a character with agency who from the beginning went down a different path than her cousin, The Hulk. Martian Manhunter being the last survivor of a race which died out on Mars over a thousand years ago is goofy, but putting him Area 51 and using the same plot as many alien visitor movies is not. And God forbid superheroes embrace some goofiness and absurdity.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.themarysue.com/david-goyer-calls-she-hulk-sex-fantasy/|title= Man of Steel Sequel Writer David Goyer Calls Marvel’s She-Hulk
This prompted Michael Cavana from The Washington Post's Comic Riffs to reach out to [[She-Hulk]] co-creator [[Stan Lee]] for a response.
Line 64 ⟶ 63:
=== Mazin and Ted Cruz ===
During their freshman year at [[Princeton University|Princeton]], Mazin was roommates with junior U.S. Senator and 2016 presidential hopeful [[Ted Cruz]]. Mazin has been open about his dislike for Cruz,<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/02/opinion/anyone-but-ted-cruz.html|title= Anyone but Ted Cruz|last1= Bruni|first1= Frank|date= December 2, 2015|website= nytimes.com|publisher= |accessdate= March 22, 2016}}</ref>
<blockquote>And, you know, I want to be clear, because Ted Cruz is a nightmare of a human being. I have plenty of problems with his politics, but truthfully his personality is so awful that ninety-nine percent of why I hate him is just his personality. If he agreed with me on every issue, I would hate him only one percent less.</blockquote>
Mazin's comment has since been picked up by The Daily Show,<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.cc.com/video-clips/c6usaz/the-daily-show-with-trevor-noah-nobody-likes-ted-cruz|title= The Daily Show - Nobody Likes Ted Cruz|last1= |first1= |date= December 3, 2015|website= cc.com|publisher= |accessdate= March 22, 2016}}</ref>
