In the name of transparancy: I know Nathan Brookes, the co-writer of this script personally. I've read and given him notes on several of his and Bobby's scripts (not this one). And I've been loathe to tread on Carson, because at one time I considered him a pal and have given him the benefit of the doubt many times. But this is beyond the pale.
Today Carson reviewed an OUTDATED DRAFT of "Slaughter" which has gone through many, many rewrites. Nathan doesn't even know which draft Carson read. Well, Carson hated it. The commentators hate it too. But the point is, Carson didn't have permission. Nathan (and Bobby) told Carson NOT to review this draft, and they even offered to have him review the current draft that the writers worked on. He refused. According to Nathan, they have threatened Carson with legal action if he doesn't take it down. I repeat, Carson was specifically told NOT to run this review, and he did anyway. Nathan has no idea how Carson even got his hands on it.
I know firsthand that Nathan is very upset about this, and he is sure that another writer who has worked on this script (as well as the writer's reps) won't be too happy about it either as this writer just set up another big project. And I guess I've burned my bridges with Carson as well with this post. But I'm standing up for my friend, and that is the right thing to do.
