The great thing about television is that you get to tell, like with "the walking dead", 16 hours worth of character-driven storytelling in less time than it takes to make a feature film. so, it really is a medium at least for storytellers who are passionate about not only the genre but also the character-driven genre stories. it's probably a better medium.

The desire for story is very, very deep in human beings. we are the only creature in the world that does this; we are the only creature that tells stories, and sometimes those are true stories and sometimes those are made up stories. then there are the larger stories, the grand narratives that we live in, which are things like nation and family and clan and so on. those stories are considered to be treated reverentially. they need to be part of the way in which we conduct the discourse of our lives and to prevent people from doing something very damaging to human nature.

We’re face to face with images all the time in a way that we never have been before... young people need to understand that not all images are there to be consumed like fast food and then forgotten – we need to educate them to understand the difference between moving images that engage their humanity and their intelligence, and moving images that are just selling them something.
