I agree with you. I just can't emotionally go there (at least for now) because I'm not being so grown-up about this. The complaint in a nutshell is that he and I have rival views of the verse, and that whereas the show was always big enough for all sorts of views, Lynch's being handed the franchise means he gets to dictate his views to "canon" at the expense of mine. I am a sore loser. Sore losers aren't charitable to the winners. I am not charitable to Brian Lynch.

But if I can step back from that, then sure -- he'll mature as a writer. (Though he's mid-30's, I think, so not THAT young). And it's true that it would be hard to write in this situation.
