Rebecca, delay? What delay? I call this warp speed. Bles you, darlin'.

It's incredibly tiny on my screen, but I expect that's something in my browser or layout or screen resolution or something, yes?

Connie, cool alternate ending. Much more through Giles' eyes.

Darn you, wee Am-Chau!

(OK, so we're probably not going to have Ethan and Giles sneaking on a rattle-trap train packed with suspicious folks carrying geese on their laps and such. Seen far too many cheesy 30s adventure moves.)

Title, title, I need a title. "Ethan and the Potentials" is a good working title, but not a real one. Hmmm...

Title, title, I need a title

I tend towards enigmatic metaphor, personally. "In Place of What Must Come"? "A Shadow to Hide In"?

But then, I'm weird. Connie, there's going to be more, right?

Ah, deborah, not you, too. I want to, but I'm so afraid of getting Jossed in some horrible way. Sure, I know, I'm writing missing scenes of what's already taken place, but if I were to know something dreadful was going to happen to someone I get too busy weeping at the loss to enjoy writing stuff for them.

The above semi-hysteria is not based on any spoilers, just an amorphous dread.

He was on his third helping of chicken tikka marsala, and he'd almost fought Ethan for the naan.

Nit picking: Marsala is a wine, used for cooking often, but not so much in Indian food. Masala (no R) is the Indian recipe. One great version of it is found here.

Thanks, I'll pull the r before I post the finished product.

I saw marsala as masala (which is a multi-faceted spice mixture). Didn't even see the R in there.

Connie, I wouldn't lean on you (although I would like more of this, yes please); I had precisely that experience with a ST;TNG screenplay, submitted through agent and loved by Pillar/Berman. It was called "Guinan in Wonderland" and they adored it and it completely conflicted with their at that time unreleased agreed-upon history for Guinan. So they rejected it, with notes about how wonderful it was. Broke my heart. And I maintain to this day that OUR backstory was better than THEIR backstory. Buggeration.

But where I'm kinda going is, if you're going to write more? Do the title to reflect the entire story arc, maybe?

Do the title to reflect the entire story arc, maybe?

And I'm coming up with something like the Road movies with slash. "Rayne and Giles on the Road to ..." And I think I'd best not finish that line.

"...Perdition"!

Seriously, connie, where's the heart of the story arc going, in your eyes? Because that's going to be where the title lives, right?
