Default More "Deja Vu"?

No one commented on the teaser, so I'm wondering if anyone wants to read the rest of it. Let me know and I'll upload it. If there's no interest, I won't bother. It's about 115 pages, and we got an "A" on the script. Now I've got an outline for a 22 episode season, and I'm writing more scripts. The tone we were aiming for was a lot like "Angel" - dark and serious, but with a good balance of humor.

I'm in the middle of THREE scripts at once, which is how excited I am over this project. I'm hoping to have at least twelve done by the end of the summer. One of them is (at least, I think) a new take on the "Cause and Effect" or "Groundhog Day" style episode, with things repeating over and over. There's a twist to it I won't reveal quite yet, but so far it's a pretty funny episode. One character has to keep reliving a one-night stand he regrets and other such funny things.

Let me know if you're interested.

Teaser? I must have missed it

I'll read your script.

Does anyone remember the SG1 episode when they did the repeating thing? Now that was funny! I'm really at a loss as to why I del'd all my episodes...*scratches head*.

If you extend how far back it shows threads, you'll find it under "Just a tease..." But I'll upload the full script, just for you Cymro.

I don't know why you deleted your episodes. I'm considering collecting the series on DVD. I've seen so many episodes, but always out of order and I've missed a good deal, as well. I think my appreciation for the show will grow seeing it in its entirety and in correct order.

I almost had ALL of them, then when I lost my connection last summer, I stopped using my PC so much and didn't watch them, plus I got tired of watching them over and over again, then I realised that my SG-1 obsession had taken up a good 25GB of space, so I deleted them, then I got my connection back, and the last half of season 7 aired here (I had already downloaded the first half and watched it), and wanted to go back and watch them all , so I went "What the fuck was I thinking???"
