Ballots are in and there doesn't seem to be a lot of guessing going on so I'm just going to confess: I wrote"Branded". Here are my lessons learned:
- I should never have titled the episode The Lone Ranger. It confused the hell out of people and there were enough clues therein to elude to the similarities.
- I should have explained that perhaps McCord found the pup abandoned in the desert and at the end given it to Vasquez in the hospital since they got on so we'll.
- I should have just revealed that it was C-4 explosive they were smuggling instead of leaving it a cliffhanger.
- I should have described better that McCord was found outside the walls of the Outpost, therefore adding to the premise that he was perceived as a coward.
- Last, General Reed is the reason for the massacre at Bitter Creek and the season storyarc.

Stay tuned for a rewrite!

Quoted from DarrenJamesSeeley
The ballots do have an option "did not read". There's nothing that says you can't vote for the five you did read, I 'spose.


Yep, I know Dazza. I could have done that but this time around I just felt it might be unfairly loading the bases. Hmm, I dunno. Anyway, too late now.

* Hope you feel better, Dan. Severe intractable pain is horrible.

Well, since it's thoroughly thought-out guesses, I need to make time and map out the writers and look at the scripts again and think.

Ah. It’s a whole process. I though you were like, you know, just naturally good at it.

Ok, here are two more guesses:
Ammar - Monsters
ChrisBodily - Quantam (very clever move to misspell it, then bow out of reviewing it)

Hmm, my favorites were Quincy, Knight Rider and Branded ( so congrats to JEStats, John I think, not).

I got Kham on Spaceghost or Elm Street

Ewall might be Quantum Leap

Steven Clark Becker

As far as I know Rene, he might have a big one too

Thanks to Dan and Don

Clever reason (would never have thought of that), but no. Not mine. I had never even seen the show before. My script, however, does contain a creative license spelling of a word. Creative license is one thing (e.g. Mortal Kombat), but reading about how many (surely unintentional)misspellings Quantum had, I couldn't stomach it.

I barely slogged through Monster, and I had to bail on Becker (a show I quite like) because the writing/English was so bad. No credible producer would read a script with a misspelled title unless it was creative license. I couldn't begin to guess who wrote Quantum.

I know you didn't write Happy Days because you didn't seem to know who Hank Aaron was. Hammerin' Hank is a very famous (retired) batter. He played with the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves (which is perfect for Happy Days) as well as the Milwaukee Brewers (also perfect for Happy Days).



He's about as famous as Babe Ruth. I'd love to know who wrote that one. It was clever.

I have no idea who wrote The Lone Ranger (NOT Branded), but surely they did it because Knight Rider was already taken. That's an example of a reboot that's too different.

My best guess on any of them would be Darren for VR Troopers. He seems to love B movies and the writer intentionally wrote some of the monsters as looking "cheesy" and "cheap." But I don't know about the typos.

Take care of yourself, Dan. And take your time, I'd say - we're guessing, it's fun. So, no worries)

Since the guessing seems to be over it seems like Don could post who wrote what to generate more discussion while we wait for the results.

I'll Be Seeing You (short) - OWC winner
The Gambler (short) - OWC winner
