Completely random idea I had in the shower, just showing the Behind the Scenes of the shooting, to parody the show, highlight how certain things came to be, etc. etc. If I stay motivated, I'll do an episode by episode chapter. If not, I'll keep working on the half a dozen other stories I've already got going. Just wanted something really light to take my mind off the horrors. . .the horrors. . .
I heard someone else might die this season. That scares me. Just a rumor my friends, completely unfounded, but I will cry if it is so. Unless they kill off Steve. Or Scott. Whichever one is still alive. That would just be funny.
JJ: Okay, so I hear you've got this great idea for a show.
DAMEON: Oh yeah, it's frickin' sweat. See, there's this plane crash
JJ: Uh-uh, too 9-11.
DAMEON: Okay, it's an international plane.
JJ: Hmm. . .I am intrigued, continue.
DAMEON: So we've got this international plane and it crashes on an island.
JJ: Uh-uh, too Gilligan's Island.
DAMEON: But there's a monster on the island.
JJ: Now you're really pushing it, buddy.
DAMEON: But all the people are really, really good-looking.
JJ: Right. So it's a Gilligan's Island/Survivor/Stephen King sort of thing?
DAMEON: Right. But also. . .all of the really good-looking people have weird backstories.
JJ: Weird? How do you mean weird?
DAMEON: Well, let's see. Like. . .there'll be this hot chick.
JJ: I like hot chicks. Is she tough?
DAMEON: Very tough.
JJ: How tough?
DAMEON: You know your little Sidney girl?
JJ: I like Sidney. She gets good ratings.
DAMEON: She's got nothing. This girl's a fugitive, run from the law.
JJ: What's her crime?
DAMEON: Don't know, haven't figured it out yet.
JJ: All right, I like it, let's start casting.
DAMEON: Dude, how do we start casting, we don't even have a script?
JJ: When JJ says casting, it happens, okay?
DAMEON: Yeah, but. . .how are we going to get actors when we don't even have a plot?
JJ: Clearly you haven't been in this business long enough. Trust me.
