I always felt there was a hint of tension from when they first met. I just wanted to bring that element back. I never expected them to get married, so ending that relationship was one of several choices, although I would have liked to see a little bit of cat and mouse.<br /><br /><br />As far as the dad, most fucked up girls have daddy issues. I felt it necessary to add a twist that explained her emotionally, not just some killing machine who went both ways.<br /><br />All in all, I thought the process would allow us as writers to sit back, relax, and take this story to unbelievable creative heights.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07719208667218627721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-75398876324136592092010-11-09T17:51:49.678-08:002010-11-09T17:51:49.678-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07719208667218627721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-62241817250332113382010-11-08T07:46:59.665-08:002010-11-08T07:46:59.665-08:00Reread the scenes and don't see one place wher...Reread the scenes and don't see one place where it says A.J. Trenton was actually inside the station when it blew. <br /><br />Jackson Mack says he wants to interrogate him. He asks Murphy to keep him in there, though never asking if he actually is inside. Murphy, at the station, asks if Trenton has lawyered up.<br /><br />All very vague. No one ever says: "He's in the back room."<br /><br />The point of starting off the next scene with A.J. Trenton was to reveal that he got out. Then revealing that he actually designed the bomb that exploded the station would explain how he got out: He devised the entire plot.<br /><br />That seems like a bit of logic that was lost on the next writer.Carlos Matthews Hernandezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04844149114686947104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-58003105370613397342010-11-08T07:39:15.966-08:002010-11-08T07:39:15.966-08:00I'm surprised by some of the writers choosing ...I'm surprised by some of the writers choosing to focus on what other writers did "wrong" instead of what they think they did right. When I got the script for my team (Wendy), I was a little baffled by some of the choices, but instead of trying to retcon the script I just saw it as an opportunity to heighten the craziness. <br /><br />It's a fun collaborative first draft, not a salable script.No!

I found their sudden tryst to be because of the tension they had when they got in each others face in sterns office, not the emotional understanding at the plight of her and her father's history. <br /><br />Lmao. Kind of a good example at how male and female writers can see two different things in the same scenario.<br /><br />But, to be honest with you, because I didn't feel like they would really jump bones that quickly and this new developement so late in the script had me scratching my head hard. I had to make the decision to kill that off.<br /><br />The reveal of the latina waitress, and sudden Jude-Rogers tag team didn't seem to mesh with what the story had been leading to so I made the decision to streamline the final confrontation. From my point of view, it's the final act where we should clearly have one side against the other, both teams atleast "thinking" they are all on the same page with their allies. How can I explain Trenton's and Jude's photo reveals of their history, Rogers and Jude's new relationship(If rogers was sympathetic enough to help her goals), and the fact that Jude and trenton had been all over each other when they shot viper. So rogers had to go, Jude had to finally be outsmarted, by who she's so good at outsmarting, Doug definitely define his relationship and grow balls, and stern come to grips with his duplicitous relationship with Jude in regards to himself and the FBI's past.<br /><br />Plus I thought, "He couldn't handle civillian life so he offed himself?". What if he didn't necessarily off himself with a gun to his uvula?<br /><br />Thus, our favorite meat-loving, vegan hating, change jockey came to play.Escaronditohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02524604824269183560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-76029503802411822152010-11-08T06:17:36.224-08:002010-11-08T06:17:36.224-08:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfnd5p52QYU

To a...Bravo! I think we did rather well with that.<br /><br />To address the point Max made, as I was the writer who introduced the "service revolver": I did not get confused about my characters. I needed Doug to have a gun in that scene to make the stand-off with Viper worth having, so I gave a brief nod to a military history in my wording (may be showing my Britishness a little there, as characters need more of a reason to own a gun in the UK than in the US).<br /><br />As for using a revolver, see <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RevolversAreJustBetter" rel="nofollow">here</a>. ;)Rosie Clavertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17476672768829988712noreply@blogger.com
