    I’m still not sure what sparked this. Weir was upset that he wasn’t asked to write for a show that was shit, according to him?

    As a Canadian, I’ not going to rate that highly as an apology.

    It’s rather a sorry, not sorry, let’s be buds and talk some (unspecified) time

    But it may play differently in a US cultural setting.

    It’s interesting that he felt he needed to do that though.

      It’s the mealy-mouthed half-apology of someone who was caught talking out of school. It’ll probably be enough for the whole thing to blow over.

        One suspects that the communications pros at Amazon-MGM decided that they couldn’t let this story have legs, informed Weir’s agent that he had to make some immediate effort to quell the controversy.
