I just find he's got a bad strike rate. I did loooove Splinter, but I didn't find its greatness was in the writing so much as in the performances and the visual. But then, that's true of much of SV, not just SDK's work.
I guess part of my frustration is also that many people seem happy to fangirl him while slagging off Al&Miles. Not you, obviously! But I guess I think he's not the shining light that many people seem to hold him up to be. And I think Al&Miles deserve a fairer go. I just find fandom weird in where it throws its loyalties...
As I say, it really comes down not only to me finding his work average-to-below-par overall, but also to me finding his personality very grating. One of my irks with him regarding his discussions of the show is that he shows such obvious character bias--to Chloe over Lois, for example. I couldn't stick it out checking his blog--every second comment riled me. I'm glad to hear vicariously that he dealt with the Clana offensive calmly. Kudos to him for that--I just think I'll keep my distance and thereby my own serenity. As Becky would say, you can read it for me! ;-)
