->We took silhouettes and gave them an episode.

->If anybody were to tell me that the showrunner of the new series would take a character who is basically a giant head pickled in a jar and over the course of three stories he would become one of the central figures of the series and one whose death would have me [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E3Gridlock reaching from the hankies]] I would probably have laughed in your face.

->''This series was born primarily from my desire to see more of the yeerk hosts, who I think often end up shunted aside or unfairly ignored in canon. Many of the ghost writers especially make no distinction whatsoever between Tom the teenage boy and the unnamed yeerk controlling him, which borders on being (entirely inadvertent, but still troubling) victim-blaming. And so I figured I’d just have to write the Tom the teenage boy myself, if I wanted to hear from him that badly.''

->''"Up until a year ago, I had seen maybe three episodes of [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine DS9]]. Back when the idea for the show was first announced, I clearly remember making fun of it with a college buddy of mine. We were under the misguided impression that because the recurring [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration TNG]] character Chief Miles O'Brien was moving to a new show meant the spin-off would be about him, i.e., it would be ''Star Trek: The Chief O'Brien Comedy Hour.''"''

->''"I always imagined that [[NicholasCourtney Lethbridge-Stewart's]] introduction would be met with some kind of fanfare given the important role he would go on to play in the series. Thinking about this logically for a moment...why would that be the case at all? He wasn't designed to be a series regular, this was just a one shot character that worked out really well, they decided to bring back and became woven into the fabric of the series. In fact he is dumped in the middle of this story without ceremony and treated as a figure of suspicion for a while. If nobody can trust anybody, who the hell is this bossy Colonel who has appeared out of the darkness from nowhere? I like that approach, it might just be the most interesting use of the character in his entire run."''

->''"Tom [=DeFaclo's=] mention of {{ComicBook/Thor}} and Thunderstrike brings back memories of a major trend (some would call it an [[CashCowFranchise epidemic]]) that was going on at {{Marvel}} at that time - namely, taking an established character and creating a "spin-off" version of that character. This spin-off would be very similar to the original character, yet different enough to justify its own existence and, hopefully, its own ongoing title. In addition to Thunderstrike being spun off from Thor, the [=USAgent=] was spun off from ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, ComicBook/WarMachine was spun off from ComicBook/IronMan, and the Fantastic Force was spun off from the ComicBook/FantasticFour. So from a business standpoint, it made a certain degree of sense to try to do the same thing with Spider-Man. But creatively? Well, all I'll say is that THOR, CAPTAIN AMERICA, IRON MAN, and FANTASTIC FOUR are still being published to this day, and all of the spin-off characters are either [[KilledOffForReal dead]], [[LongBusTrip in limbo]], or limited strictly to infrequent guest appearances."''
