Natalie's Lab Layout

I've tended to picture Natalie's lab as a simple rectangle, but of course it's not.  Varying a little season to season and episode to episode, it's usually arranged about like this:

I did the same thing when I was writing FK4, in fact for all the sets, since I had to visualize them in order to work out the actors' movements. Natalie's office is actually the first one I pinned down completely: as a small, fairly simple room (believe it or not!), and one that did actually get more shots from all angles than most, it's much easier to get a grip on than, say, the 96th Precinct police station

May I put a link to this page on the wiki? So far, the only other floorplan I know of is Chris Rosmini's one for the loft. It is very helpful to have this sort of visual aid.

You mean link to this blog entry? Yes, you may. I may relocate the graphic later, putting it among the "References" on my fansite. Thank you for asking.

In your comments in your previous reply post, above, you wrote that you "did the same thing" for "all the sets" years ago, and "tweak[ed]" them "more than once." Since you already did all that work creating and correcting maps, wouldn't it be optimal to put those on the wiki instead?

Oh, mine were only very rough sketches-just for me to work by. Yours is much neater and more legible.

Wow, I'm impressed by your work. I just spent a quarter of an hour just staring at your floor plan and playing scenes of different episodes through my mind to see where everyone would enter and stand etc. And it works. :)

I can only imagine the effort behind watching for all the details by putting this together. Great work!

Thank you very much! You're encouraging, and I appreciate it!
