George Lucas tried to warn the American Republic about the Sith in his fiction. Whether he, or the many others who crafted those first six films consciously knew it. Or not.

Is it a good show?

I almost watching it from the pilot/1st episode. But feared the series wouldn't wrap up before my HBO subscription ended (which it has).

Hey, the queue to not trusting someone due to their association with Richard Doty is very, very long...

Later last evening, when this thread was more present tense?
A huge crack of lighting hit my backyard just after 1am.

Fortunately I was on the toilet at the time.
The child-like shrieking in terror was something I could have done in any other room of the house.

I think it's okay to call it a night at 1am.
Ghost was punched. Can write about him whining about it all to his society fellows in Act II tomorrow.

But hey, Billy & Theo got their #GPEP Fleet Street advertisement printed. So a good night and technically into Act II by a page or two. Or three.

Happy birthday, Mister Vice-President...

Sadly I just have violent thunderstorms here as my summertime weather companion.

(25.) As of now? #GPEP #Screenplay is a full 33 pages.
Act I is a few pages longer than it should be, even with a full scene removed. It's okay. This is what drafting and editing is for.

I like the story flow if I do say so myself. My love of puns and wordplay is coming through the script.

I feel personally responsible for being part of the subculture that popularised the term 'NPC'.

But only so far.

It was never a contest. Just the illusion of one. Perception management is always the game.

(24). I've written two so far. About one musical number every twelve pages or so. Not sure if I'll keep that meter up in the overall screenplay. I shall try!

(23.) I would say that I am getting the hang of writing lyrics for #GPEP musical numbers!

It's fun though to compose them. And this is just a first draft after all. Admittedly a planned draft. But a draft never-the-less.

Whether it was Soviet vs. the US in the 'Space Brothers' of the 1950's and beyond? There has always been very strong, salient strands of skullduggery and nastiness amongst the messaging and interplay within the UFO subculture.
