Yeah, I'm not a fan, but this is very true. Sometimes creators lie as to seem more in control. The Lost writers, for instance, frequently claimed they knew exactly how to tie up everything and where everything was going because it would make fans too nervous otherwise. They didn't.

I watched the first season of this show, actually, and I wouldn't have guessed that Twilight was anything but the Queen's helper assistant lady, a la Andrea Sachs from The Devil Wears Prada.
