was that Gordon claims that Gideon Raff, who wrote the pilot, is on the same page as him and he was "shocked" that Raff is distancing himself from this show...

people who write pilots leave the shows they created all the time (case in point: FX's Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley wrote the pilot for NBC's State of Affairs and left once it was green lit to series...no ones saying why
but to create the pilot, leave, AND distance yourself from the show because it's shitty and you want NOTHING to do with it and you keep stating in interviews that what you are seeing every week on FX IS NOT the version you wanted or even TOLD to sell the show to the network?

But the showrunners who are running the show claim THIS is what you want to see and are standing behind that?

Something is amiss here...and from what I gather about Homeland, the writers on that show have clashed with Gordon in the past on where to take it and its general direction....

so who knows? But Raff disavowing this show? telling...
