Fake Show 2: Heroes of the Revolution (Main Cast & Setting)

Feb 02, 2014 12:54

I'm still working on the supporting cast and the episode guide, but I think the main cast and basic set-up has solidified pretty well, so here's part 1 of the first fruits of the isurrendered meme...

He's a guest star. He dies. ^_^

*dies laughing*

This is completely true!! I have the supporting cast just about sorted. Next up is the episode guide, totally including in which episode David Collings does something treacherous/misguided, regrets it, whimpers, and dies (and by what unlikely means). (This is my treat for when I've done the hard bit. :lol:)

You know me far, far too well. ♥

(He was also destined to die in Enigma House, even though that was in the present day. Hmm, actually, I think he was dead all along in that one. I never got round to including that in the summaries.)

I am far more predictable than I like to admit. Or David Collings is. :-)

And, thank you. I'm not sure it wouldn't be a little slow and grim, but it would be very, well-written. There would definitely be cynicism, sarcasm and some snark. And devious plotting.

surely julian glover is evil - he is always evil...

Aw, but no! Not always! And I don't know why he's always evil. he should be allowed to be heroic and gloriously sarcastic and stuff more often. Anyway, he is not evil in Wish Me Luck, he's just sarcastic about Winston CHurchill and he and Jane Asher have to tell us every episode that they're not married or dating. I don't know why, but they do. :-)

(And, entirely seriously, no, not evil as such. It's the bit I did sneak from B7 - he's the winning rebel leader, but that follows ten years of fighting and mistrust, and it all depends on how paranoid he's become... :-D)

I have to confess... justice_turtle is entirely correct! He will, of course, turn up as a guest star. And die by unlikely means. I haven't decided when and how yet, but I will.

And thanks! :-)

That's funny, you sound just like David Collings. You're not crawling around the floor, gibbering as well, are you?

:-D

No, because if I get down on the floor, I won't be able to get up again - and besides, crawling is a very painful thing to do with a crippled knee.

Very sensible. ;-)

Thanks.

My knee's suffered enough abuse this week - my foot got kicked by four people on the bus last Monday - all of which jarred my knee. Then on Tuesday and Wednesday the boss made me do the ironing with the big foot-pedal-operated press, which is the worst task that my job offers. By the time I finished my own ironing this afternoon, my left leg had seized up.

Ouch! *glares at inconsiderate people for you*

I do hope it's a little better soon. ♥

Thanks.

The worst thing was when the fourth person kicked my foot then turned to apologise with the words "Sorry, mate, I didn't see you." So I snapped back "Big tip. After assaulting someone, don't add insult to injury by telling them you didn't see them!" He opened his mouth to give me a smart-alec reply, and I gave him my best death glare - and he actually ran away from me!
