Storylining, when it is working well, is the most fun you can have writing.

Every now and then we would bring in a guest writer вЂ“ Nick for Ep.5 and Michael for Ep.9 вЂ“ and they would join in the hilarity. You say вЂwriters roomвЂ™ I say the big dining table at my house where a bunch of people вЂ“ me, Tim, Natalie, Ross and Laura (after Helen left to work on another show) вЂ“ would sit around and have way too much fun, while occasionally getting interrupted by my two cats. Q: Can you tell us how the writers room worked for this show? How much did you contribute to each episode? And how were other writers part of the creative process of the whole storyline? In Ep.13, if we had more time, I would have loved to explore in more depth the various takes the characters had on the central thesis of the episode: what would you do if this was your last day on Earth as a God? A whole 3-scene mini-arc involving Tigilau emerging from the sea and throwing dead fish at Axl was the main sacrifice, but I also miss a little scene between Dawn and Anders where he asked her if she would miss him when she forgets him, to which she answers, logically, that no she wonвЂ™t miss him because she will have forgotten him. The worst thing about this is that what inevitably goes first are the nice character moments вЂ“ the ones that add depth but donвЂ™t necessarily serve the plot in any essential way. As with every show there are scenes that get dropped, usually for time, but it didnвЂ™t really get epic on us until the last few episodes, where the desire to get as much as possible in each episode constantly battled with the time constraints. I wouldnвЂ™t say a вЂlotвЂ™ вЂ“ for the most part.

What were some of the hardest cuts you had to make and how did they influence the shape of the story? If you had had a full 60-75 minutes to work with, what extra story would we have experienced? Q: We hear that there were generally a lot more scenes shot, and much more script written, than ever made it to our screens. In terms of LokiвЂ™s red stone, there was actually another scene after he tossed it to the ground that explained its purpose and gave a much stronger hint of the story to come, but that never made the cut. As of writing I have heard nothing from them. As to whether that will is, indeed, there, that involves a chain of decisions being made in the showвЂ™s favour, starting with TV3 deciding they want it again.

But we also wanted to send a message that there is heaps more story out there for these characters, and that we could go on if the will is there. Knowing this show has been walking the tightrope in terms of surviving here, in the New Zealand market, we always planned to make this season more rounded than the others.

Q: Is this the end for the Almighty Johnsons? Things were wrapped up so beautifully in the finale, so what hope is there for a series 4? Did you add ColinвЂ™s red-glowing-stone as a just in case scenario? Oh, and having Dean for an entire series helped вЂ“ even if it meant writing his stupid beard in and out. In part this was, as always in response to events beyond our control (in this case KeishaвЂ™s availability, which forced us to do that little story arc in two episodes) but largely it was because we had a clear(-ish) path to the series end mapped out. In terms of what we did well this time round, I think the series got off to a faster start, with a clear build towards Ep,7, where Axl accepted he could be a good Odin by saving Derrick/Thor. This is what you expect, that you keep learning what works for a show and you try to do more of it вЂ“ and, of course, less of the stuff that is bad. However, the general point is certainly valid and I think 3 did grow on the predecessors in many ways вЂ“ performance and look as well as in the writing. JG: On one hand, thank you for that on the other hand, as someone rather fond of what we did in 1 & 2, a slight harrumph at the upping the game part of the question. What happened between last year and this year to up your game so much, and lend such heart to the series? In this Questions and Answers thread, Griffin took time to respond to many of our questions providing some fascinating insights about the series, its characters, and the creative process. Griffin, who has worked on many well known projects including the fabulous Outrageous Fortune, the delicious SioneвЂ™s Wedding (aka Samoan Wedding stateside), the recent Blue Rose, and many more projects was the primary creative lead behind the Johnsons. James GriffinВ isВ the Kiwi God of all things Almighty Johnsons.
