Now I'm just waiting for someone to do an assassination in a drive thru.
Chris Isaak beat you to this one in MARRIED TO THE MOB. Dressed as a clown.
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

It doesn't count if it's not TV.

If I only had a brain...
I wanna be the evil computer genius. I've always aspired to becoming an evil genius.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Betsy, don't be evil!

Dude. It's set in 1966. The only way there's an evil computer genius is if there's a time machine.
ETA: And, no, before anyone asks, there isn't a time machine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Computers in 1966 were evil by default. There was no Apple.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
ETA: And, no, before anyone asks, there isn't a time machine.
A true evil genius would have built a time machine.

Hey, by 1966 there can be evil geniuses who use armies of robots...

You guys understand that the whole purpose of writing samples is to get jobs on shows that do not star Pamela Anderson, right?

Wouldn't that mean that the best way to guarantee you won't land a job on a Pamela Anderson show is to write a spec for a Pamela Anderson show?
