Nancy Dubuc Quotes

I love serial drama.

I honestly love nothing better than digging into a really good serialized show, whether it's 'Breaking Bad' or 'Game of Thrones' or 'Justified.'

When you have 12 hours of storytelling, the cool thing about it is that you get to really leave people with question marks, but hopefully wanting to come back.

In episodic TV you have to keep things secret to keep the viewer in suspense.

Television lets audiences deeply connect with characters.

I was doing 'Homeland' and read the first two episodes, and all I wanted was episode three to know what would happen next.

People love storylines. They love them because at some point, the talent will get people emotionally invested.

Forget narrative, backstory, characterisation, exposition, all of that. Just make the audience want to know what happens next.

I love a good cliffhanger. I love when big events happen in shows. I love shows that aren't afraid to take risks and to really do what's best for the story line and realistic for the story line.

I think people enjoy a series. When you like a story, many readers want more of the same, which is dandy, if the author and the characters have more to say.

I feel like if you enjoyed the 119 hours that precede the finale of 'Lost,' is that whole experience ruined by the fact that you might not agree with everything that we did in the finale?

I can be so blown away by story lines.

If I watch something, I want to be wondering what is going to happen next; I want to be engaged in a way that makes me ask questions and think about how I can relate myself to the characters and the issues that are there.

I personally love a cliffhanger - I think it just extends the pleasure of viewing.

I love a really good storyline.

You just never know what the grand plan is on 'Dexter,' so I didn't know if I was going to make it to the next episode, let alone the next season!

On a TV show, you don't know where the character is going.

Being able to stay with a character over the course of years is a gift.

The nice thing about a series is you can end on cliffhangers all the time. You can be like, 'You know what? Here we go, this person just died, end of book.' And with the end of the series, you're very conscious of all the plotlines that were left hanging. There's a balance there to wrap those up but still leave it exciting.

If you watched 'Lost,' sometimes the episodes were crazy good, and sometimes you're like, 'That one was just sorta there.'

I like the idea of shows where I don't know where I'll be at the end of the season.
