Ideas, hah. The real challenge in this line of work is being able to weed the productive ones from the chaff, to decide which you’re going to spend the next six to nine months turning into something that people will pay for. It's so true. I remember hearing about both Buffy and Heroes, "how can this not be completely and utterly rubbish" and yet they turned out amazing (well - one series of Heroes, at least).
