I have and continue to concede that I do not recall the exact context of the remarks, but IIRCC, the comments were included amongst many that overtly addressed concerns of the interviewee regarding the politically incorrect shortcomings of the original work.

It may have been an error on my part that this specific concern was political/societal, rather than technical. But how can polygomy not "work on screen", but polyamory can?

I am sorry to have taken us so far off the beaten path here. This may well be, and hopefully will be, one of many meaningless necessary story–compressions, and it certainly can be done in a way that does not minimize the importance of all 3 women in the psychological growth of Rand

Here's the full comments:

quote:
“Question: Rafe, will Rand's romance plot remain close to the books? I mean, liking one girl at first but ending up with three in the end?

Rafe: No.

20 seconds (literally) he clarified:

quote:
Let’s just say I’m much more interested in polyamory than polygamy. And maybe give me a little more credit than assuming I’m gonna gut that entire story and ruin everything off a one word answer? ;)

I believe that is the extent of his comments, besides at some point saying that it may just work better translating to screen.

He hasn't said anything else at all.

Now look...Rafe is gay and a Liberal/Progressive which is why people are inferring certain things in his statements. But he hasn't said it or really even inferred anything SJW.
