No secrets

Are there also disadvantages to having a hardcore internet fan base?

The frustrating aspect about having such a loyal and hardcore internet following is that it�s very hard to keep secrets. We have had scripts stolen out of offices [and] off the Fox lot. We�ve had tapes stolen, cuts of shows that have disappeared.

The scary thing about the internet, not just for a television show, but actually more so for other spheres of life like politics and people trying to protect their privacy, is that all it takes is one person to know something and then the whole world can know about it.

What we�ve discovered is that the people who want to know these secrets are probably the ones who are going to watch anyway. They�re so devoted they�re gonna watch and enjoy, even if they�ve spoiled the surprise for themselves.
