"Cloverdale" (205) Pre-Airing Discussion/Speculation

[EvilSpaceAlien]

Writer: Brad Wright
Director: Alex Chapple

Well at least PG15 was the one who guessed the episode title, but you have to be faster with the threads, man!

More spinning today in the writers� room and more headway made on those first ten episodes. [snipped Brad�s idea falls in the four slot, so he�ll take that one, which means Rob will be jumping on 3.

After breaking the first four episodes of season one Monday through Thursday, we spent a far more leisurely Friday discussing the general premise for the fifth, a.k.a.�s Brad�s episode. Unlike everyone else in the room, Brad prefers a less structured, more free-flowing approach to scriptwriting so, in his case, no breaking required, just a gentle couple of hours in the spin cycle. Still, I�d call that five for five.

As for Brad�s outline � Outline? He don�t need no stinking outline!

The rest of the afternoon was devoted to more chitchat and trying to figure out why the Bridge Studios decided to upgrade the perfectly-fine network so that, now, no one can either print or stay online for any significant amount of time. Brad couldn�t open his script and when he tried to print it, had the page count balloon to about 117 pages. Paul, now wearing his Exec Producer�s hat for the show�s second season, made the executive call and informed him: �Yeah, that�s too long.� I, on the other hand, smell a two-parter.

[PG15]

That's three in a row, man!

Why, I do believe I may have to pass on the torch.

So how did Cloverdale came to mind, PG15? What is Cloverdale anyway? A city in the US right?

[Solokiller]

When i saw that title i immediately thought about cloverfield. I hope it's not about a giant monster floating round in space.

What's a cloverdale?

Dear god, I hope it's not crossover with Smallville.

[TBA]

Or a christmas-themed Coca Cola crossover...

Ye, I have no idea what to think of that either

[Darren]

British Columbia's answer to Cloverfield?

I wonder if it's going to be a predominantly kino-vision episode ...

You're not the only one who though that!

[Pharaoh Atem]

You're not the only one who though that!

i'm thinking something like "time" alien planet creatures on planet 90 feet tall' chasing everyone and kino's everywhere

[Jper]

horror movie feel would be cool.

Or something like Doppelganger or Tabula Rasa? I'd like that, but they should stay clear of the positive, all good, happy-ending that both episodes had. That'd be cool to watch IMHO.

assuming horror movie

i want a last second departure where destiny is about to take off and the crew has to rush back to the gate. need to use that clock more. plus with all the running around the crew could lose track of the time make it more epic.
