I've had friends who have come away who've said, "I shouldn't have become such close friends with the director." You always want to get on with the director, but I personally prefer a relationship where you respect them - you get on really well with them, but they're boss, as it were. It's about trusting your director, for better or for worse. They're the one's seeing what's coming out on the monitors, so you have to try and trust what they say.

One of the first challenges of getting promoted into management is negotiating the tension between the desire to please the person who promoted you while still remaining true to yourself. The tension is normal, and the fact that you feel it is probably indicative of why you were promoted.

Shane looked faintly injured. “I make it my business to know everything about silver. And I saw your notes.

Not even whether or not she liked it.

Jeph Loeb [Marvel TV boss] is the master of the connective tissue, but each series exists in its own world.
