The Adaptation Dilemma: Why Creators Shouldn't Be Afraid to Take Risks Damon Lindelof, co creator of HBO's new show Lanterns, has taken aim at critics who demand absolute fidelity to source material.

Lindelof's comments reflect his long standing approach to adaptation, as seen in his work on Watchmen and Star Wars. He understands the delicate balance between honoring the source material and taking creative risks.
