Defending the prom inconsistency

Fans have talked about the error in terms of the prom. In the pilot, there’s this brief gag where characters talk about how Cat wanted a date to the prom the previous year, but nobody ever asked her. However, in “Prom Wrecker”, it’s revealed that Hollywood Arts has never had a prom before.

Honestly, I’m more forgiving of this continuity error. Mostly because it was the pilot episode and they obviously hadn’t mapped out the entire plot of the show. They didn’t know if Nickelodeon was even going to green-light the show when they shot it. Not to mention that shows usually change a lot of stuff after the pilot. Since the pilot was shot several months before the rest of Season 1 was and “Prom Wrecker” was in Season 2, it’s easy to assume that the person who wrote “Prom Wrecker” simply just forgot about that line in the pilot.

Rewatching Season 1 is honestly jarring

I’m starting a rewatch and revisiting Season 1 is quite an experience. There’s a lot more adult and inappropriate jokes as well as a few moments of characters cursing that weren’t present at all in the other seasons. You can tell that this was before Jeff Franklin and the writers decided that this would be a family friendly show.

Can we all agree that T2 is a masterpiece and the best sequel ever made?

This is in my Top 5 favorite movies of all time.

Seriously, THIS is how you do a sequel. This movie does everything that a perfect sequel should do. It expands the universe, introduces new compelling themes, doesn’t feel like a rehash of its predecessor, leaves an undeniable impact on the rest of the franchise, etc. The CGI in this movie is amazing and has aged surprisingly well 35 years later.

I wasn’t born until 2001, over 10 years after the film was released. But my god, I wish I could go back in time to 1991 and watch this movie in a packed theater. I can only imagine how blown away audiences were when they saw it.

Edit: Sorry, I made a typo in the title. I meant to say ONE OF the best sequels ever made.

I believe Thor Ragnarok is the only time we see Doctor Strange wearing his yellow gloves from the comics

Honestly, I can see why they didn’t have him wear them in his other appearances. They don’t translate well in live action. They honestly make him look like he was doing the dishes and then got interrupted

I will never get over the changes they made to Phoebe and Joey in Season 5-onward

In my opinion, a show can’t just retcon a character’s established personality, let alone 2 of them, this far into its run. Seasons 1-4 established Phoebe as this ditzy but well meaning and sweet girl and Joey as this chill and likable ladies man. But then Season 5 turned Phoebe into this cruel narcissist and Joey into the dumbest human being ever with absolutely none of their previous character traits present.

If they really wanted to make these changes to their characters, the least thing they could’ve done was provide in-universe explanations for why Joey was suddenly acting dumber and why Phoebe was suddenly some mean girl,

So nobody did any research on Yerba?

I always crack up thinking about this whenever I watch Locked Up. It is weird that, aside from looking up a website about their hotel, neither Tori or anyone else in the group did any research on Yerba before traveling there nor did they even look up pictures of it to get a sense of what it would be like. If they had, they would’ve learned that Festis was lying about it being like Hawaii and that it was not a safe place for tourists to be vacationing at.

How did Hank not get fired by the building after the events of “Night Out”?

Let’s be honest. It was Hank’s fault for everyone being locked in after hours. Surely, he had to have noticed that everyone’s cars were still in the parking lot and how nobody from the office came out the door to leave. Yet, that didn’t make him suspicious enough to go see if anyone was still in the building. Instead, he just put the lock on the gate and left with absolutely zero hesitation.

Later, when they call him and tell him that they’re locked in, he says it’ll be an hour until he gets there to go let them out. He seemed to be in absolutely zero hurry to go let them out. When they call him an hour later to get his ETA, he still hadn’t even left his house yet. What the hell was be doing that was somehow far more important than going to free people who were trapped?

I feel like any security guard would’ve immediately gotten fired for all of that.

Anyone ever had to deal with someone falling asleep during a movie

Not an employee. But I’m curious if any employees have had similar stories to this.

Tonight, me and my Mom went to go see Toy Story 5. It was an 8:30 pm showing. However, there was still a lot of people in the auditorium.

There was this family that was sitting a couple rows in front of me. I swear, the father must’ve had a busy day or something that made him tired/exhausted because, halfway through the film, he started falling asleep. When I say asleep, I mean dead asleep. It was to the point where he was outright snoring. During the more quiet scenes, you could clearly hear him snoring. Everyone in the theater was taking notice of this. At one point, some guy even yelled “Hey, wake up!!!” What’s so baffling is that his wife was sitting next to him this whole time and did nothing but sit there and look at her phone. It was the kids who kept having to get up and wake up their dad so he would stop snoring. I almost got up and complained to an employee about this because, even though it didn’t bother me as much, I felt bad for the people who were sitting in the row in front of the family. But I ultimately didn’t want to embarrass the kids even further or ruin their night.

Have any employees ever had to deal with a situation like this?

My Office/Parks and Recreation script (work in progress)

A couple months ago, I said that I was writing a script for a hypothetical crossover special between The Office and Parks and Recreation. Pretty much a what-if scenario. Well, I’ve decided to show everyone what I’ve written so far. The link is provided.

Keep in mind that this is not the full script. It’s the first 39 pages that pretty much set up each storyline. Obviously, it’ll need some trimming. I’m hoping to hear your feedback on what I’ve written so far. Tell me what works, what doesn’t work, what stuff should be cut so the script can be shorter, what elements/scenes should be changed or rewritten, etc.

Ross sleeping with Chloe is the most out of character thing he ever did and it baffles me that it was even pitched

Whoever pitched the idea of Ross sleeping with a random woman after getting into an argument with Rachel must’ve never seen the show. If they had, they wouldn’t have pitched it since they’d be well aware that Ross’ character would’ve never even considered doing something like that to Rachel, whether they were actually broken up or not.

Clarifying the joke about the Asian Waitresses

One detail about the show that gets talked about a lot is a moment in “Benihana Christmas” where Michael and Andy bring back waitresses from Benihana to the office Christmas party as their dates. However, the thing that made this moment stand out was the fact that the waitresses they brought back clearly weren’t the same ones that they were flirting with at the restaurant. This led to a lot of people thinking that this was supposed to be a joke that Michael couldn’t tell the difference between Asian people and thought they all looked the same.

A couple months ago, I was listening to The Office Ladies Podcast for this episode. In it, Jenna Fisher and Angela Kinsey clarified that this was not what the joke was. Greg Daniels told them that the intent/joke was supposed to be that Michael and Andy couldn’t get the waitresses they were flirting with to come back to the office with them. So they had to settle on 2 younger and more naive waitresses who were far more willing to hangout with them and come to the Christmas Party. However, because that whole aspect happened offscreen, a lot of people ended up misinterpreting the joke as Michael just being an idiot and stereotyping Asian people.

The script for my version of iParty With Victorious

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GuZ7Fm_Mwmk4X_GesVV7HKYKES7hA765/view

Side Note: this is a repost because the link I provided in my original post yesterday expired and nobody would’ve been able to access the script anymore. So I provided a new one that’ll have unlimited access.

A few months ago, I said that I was writing a script that would basically be a rewrite of iParty With Victorious. It would have a slightly different story that would have way more character interactions and actually feel like a true crossover. I started writing it back in mid November and have spent the last 7 months working on it in my spare time.  Well, I'm happy to say that the script is finally finished and is now available for you all to read. 

I'm hoping this script will please everyone. It'll feature all of the interactions that you might've wanted in the original special and more. The climax at Kenan Thompson’s party will hopefully be a pleaser because it gives every character from each show a moment to shine. Carly and Tori will also form a genuine friendship in this version, along with each having a character arc. The plot for these 2 shows coming together won't feel as forced as the original special did by having it be a cheating boyfriend. Lastly, Steven will be an actual character and a straight up antagonist in this version instead of a plot device that's used to bring the 2 shows together. 

Just a couple side notes before you all start reading. I apologize for how it's 114 pages. I was having so much fun writing out all these character interactions that I just couldn't stop. It'll also not feel as long when you read it. I think it came out with that many pages because of how it was formatted or something. So just pretend that, in this alternate universe where this version of the special happened, it was a tv movie instead of an hour long special. Also, the first 25 pages or so, are mostly recreations of scenes from the original special. These were scenes that I felt didn't need to be rewritten much. However, I still recommend reading through them because there are some line changes here and there to go along with the new story. Once you get to page 30 though, that's when it becomes a full on crossover until the very end. 

Anyway, I hope you guys like the script and can't wait to hear your thoughts on it
