Emotional Timing
"What we realized in this episode (of Tru Calling) was that our emotional episodes seemed to run long. They had the same page count as a non-emotional episode but because of the emotional material, they tended to run longer."
— Jon Harmon Felman, Creator and Executive Producer of the Tru Calling TV-series starring Eliza Dushku, speaking during the commentary of the season one DVDs.
