Off-Week Blues, Season 2, and... A Preview?

It's been a weird week for me. First, I had to release the short early after being told that I was going to have to work late Tuesday night, into Wednesday morning. Turns out, I didn't have to after all, but oh well. Better early than late.

Speaking of the short, I hope it didn't seem as thrown together as it was. The first half has been done for a while now, but the second part I literally wrote about twenty minutes before it was released. I hope it didn't show. Deadlines have never been my friend, one of the reasons why I've tried my hardest to have as many episodes as possible ready well in advance.

While I'm at it, I've been meaning to bring this up here for a while, and always forget. The web site has a soundtrack section (within the features section) and I really do hope you guys make use of it. The next episode is the first one to feature multiple music cues, and it'd be a shame to let them go to waste. You have the option of either streaming them directly from the web site, or downloading the .mp3 file to your hard drive.

I've started final edits on 1.06 as of yesterday. You may be surprised by this, but it was actually written before the pilot. We had a rough outline from before I started writing of the first half of the season, and while it's changed, the basic story is the same. The episode did have to undergo some fairly extensive edits, and re-writes in the case of acts one and two.

Aside from that, I just finished writing the events by episode guide for season two. Basically, what will happen, and which episodes it will happen in. I really can't wait to get to S2 - I feel like the stuff we have planned there is much stronger than what we've done for S1. Not that I'm not confident with S1, but in S2 we really have more room to expand on things, and to put even more of our own spin on things. There's a feeling of having more freedom with S2, and I hope it turns out as good as this outline looks, because this is one of those rare cases where I've impressed myself.

Yep, today I didn't even have to use my AK... I gotta say it was a good day.

A cookie to whoever recognizes that line first ;)

Okay, so... the end, and... what's that? I already posted the preview for 1.05? Yeah, guess I did. So... in place of that I'm going to post a preview of 1.05:

ALEX

You shouldn't have come here! This doesn't have anything to do with you!

SPIDER-MAN

Oh, if I had a bruise for every time I heard that one. Oh, wait...

Spidey flips down from the window, landing in front of Alex.

SPIDER-MAN

Nice mask.

Alex grabs him and slams him into the safe.

ALEX

Don't make me hurt you.

SPIDER-MAN

(dazed)

I'll try.

Alex spins around, throwing Spidey toward the far wall, but he's able to land feet-first onto it.

SPIDER-MAN

So, what's a big, ugly fella like you doing in a high-class joint like this?
