The way its written sounds a little too tin foil hat-ey, but I otherwise wouldn't be surprised if its just another big gas company lobbying for the government to keep profits surging.

I can't tell you what it is. You're too young.

I'm posting too many random and pointless posts right now. It's because I'm procrastinating. Time to get off of the dojo and go do some work.

am I the only person who thinks gifs like that are pointless? not having a dig at dorian or anything, he didn't make it, but what does looping about half a second of someone's mouth moving add to the picture? could've just had one frame and the caption...

During a conversation with my colleague, we ended up inadvertently going from talking about a pretty cool idea to having a full fledged TV show with four seasons already thought up. Complete with specific conflicts, events, and psychological character developments.

The idea is basically LOST meets Battlestar Galactica. Where the stakes are always rising, the surprises keep happening, and clashes will always occur between the main characters. But everything is explained and tidied up by the time it gets to the very end.

I'm VERY excited with this brand new development and after i'm done with all my other scripts, i'm learning how to write television pilots and bibles so I can get to work on this sucker.

The funny thing is in BSG they made up the last season as they were making it. Some ideas for the show were not planned but just came up as a joke and put in the show like the 6 cyclons thing and both earths.

Lost was another they just made up on the spot in many cases.

I think BSG handled its story very well for the most part. If they made anything up, they did a great job integrating it without destroying the integrity of the show. LOST was just a big mess by the end but the first three seasons were great.

But with this idea it's taking the Space Opera from BGS, integrate it with the mystery and revelation of the first three seasons of LOST, and it has the structure of Breaking Bad where that with every season the stakes always get higher and never compromise the show's integrity (unlike LOST).

We're gonna write everything ahead of time but we also discussed the possibility (assuming it doesn't get canned first) of prolonging the show's conclusion with one or two filler seasons. We basically already came up with the conclusion, thankfully.

Sounds really great, Kenny. Hopefully, you'll leak a bit more of your idea to your humble Dojo friends who know how to keep secrets. Please.

I read somewhere Kiba was written on the spot.
