Concept: a TV series consisting entirely of “filler episodes” from some notional story of grand adventure whose ongoing events can only be inferred from the incidental context of whatever character-driven bullshit is happening this week.
Like, maybe they’re a D&D-style adventuring party, and we only ever see them during downtime between adventures. Sometimes one of them is suffering from some improbable injury or bizarre curse, and the particulars of how it happened are only vaguely alluded to – their entire professional lives are basically one big Noodle Incident from the audience’s perspective.
I think you could get some use out of “previously on” and “next time on” segments showing footage that never happened.
For example: “Previously on, Champions of Karamore!” *Shot of a scepter lying on a pedestal in a tomb somewhere* Wizard: “The Scepter of Aratoom is the key to Garroth’s Ascension” *Four Seconds of the Heroes engaged in epic combat* Warrior: “I’LL HOLD THEM OFF, GET THE SCEPTER” Rogue *Looking at empty pedestal*: “IT’S GONE! WE’RE TOO LATE!” *Dark cloaked figure that the audience has never actually seen before, holding the scepter* “At last…it begins”
And then the entire episode consists of them hanging around the nearest inn, looking at maps and arguing about different ways they could have gotten there, and if any of those methods would have gotten them to the Tomb fast enough. “I told you we should have sold the horses in Roksport and taken a ship to Veremen” “We paid good money for those horses! Staying overland cut at least three days off our trip!” “It would have, HAD THE HORSES NOT BEEN EATEN BY WEREWOLVES!” “There’s no way we could have known about the Werewolves.” “THE TOWN WAS CALLED LYCANSBURG JEREMY!”
Somebody give me creative reigns for a TV show. Picture this – Elvira and Dolly Parton starring side-by-side as twin sisters, both witches from humble roots. They’ve each lived wild lives independently and with a little huffy hostility towards each other, following different paths to become powerful enchantresses. As they reach old age, they realize the only thing they can’t replace with magic…. is family.
Reality show where Canadians are send to Australia and vice versa.
No plot.
No missions.
Just Canadians and Australians trying to survive each other’s weather.
Our latest episode
People who are reblogging this without the pictures are missing out because I’m hilarious
The best thing about this post is that Australia and Canada are in opposite hemispheres so you can run both segments simultaneously and the Australian will be in the worst of Canada’s winter while the Canadian is in the worst of Australia’s summer
I want the next show Netflix makes to feature two queer women of color and feature the multiple seasons it takes them to realize they’re madly in love with each other and are soulmates. Scifi dramedy is preferable.
can one of the leads be lindsey morgan
lindsey morgan and jamie chung pls
UM. YES.
oh holy fuck you all wrote a better series than anything that’s out there and you did it in two gifs.
lady assassins with girlfriends who are ALSO lady assassins
lady assassins with girlfriends who are also lady assassins but they don’t know about each other’s secret double life
Mrs and mrs smith
For added hilarity they could be completely different in their approaches. Like, one’s a rough-and-tumble brawling guns blazing crude thrill-seeking assassin, while the other’s a cloak-and-dagger hiding in plain sight mistress of disguise consummate professional.
They met in an online gardening chatroom.
They like to cultivate plants that could be used for poisons in their little window garden in an apartment they share in the city.
I’d like to cast Michelle Rodriguez and Lupita Nyong’o please.
