Author: Sgt. Rock
Subject: First draft of episode 8

I've just finished my first draft of episode 8. It's a bit shorter than an ordinary episode (but still the longest episode yet). If anyone wants to read it and give feedback you can find it at www.estador.co.uk/ep8.doc.

Obviously it might change due to events in episode 7, but it's a pretty accurate look at how the ep's going to turn out.

Please reply through e-mail rather than leaving a message though. My e-mail addy is above.

Willow reading the book on the bed, and then opening the door to find Kennedy there. How did I miss the Dawn scene? Grrr!

Oh well, at least it means I get to read it again :)

Seriously Sgt. Rock, that was one fantastic episode.

[> [> [> [> So fantastic you forgot an entire scene! :) -- Sgt. Rock, 17:14:20 04/07/03 Mon

I was pretty happy with it, but like I said, it's only a first draft, and it falls short of a full episode length by five or six pages so I want to add in another scene or two, probably one of Giles and Dawn looking for houses (I wanted more Giles, but didn't want to overcrowd the scenes, I seriously think we need to kill someone off or at least have them leave town) and another with the four, I didn't show or explain all the powers they have so I want to include that too.

There's some dialogue that still feels pretty generic which I'll probably change, and I might up the animosity between Spike and Faith, I'd love to see these two square off against each other later in the season. I want to increase the Willy/Xander dialogue too, that fell short of how I pictured the scene.

But one thing I'm not changing is that last speech by Tara, you wouldn't believe how many times I had to rewrite that to get it right!

Now if only Joss Whedon is reading this....

Well, I thought it was brill. So well done.

I love it. And it actually give me the perfect lead in for ep9 now I've finally figured out what I'm doing. But even if it didn't, just... wow. Brilliant.
