The attempts at comedy were there, but this wasn't my thing.

The Rod Serling bit made me blow air from my nose, but all of the other comedic bits fell short for me. The stereotypical characters were a bit too on the nose.
This felt like a "Scary Movie" type of comedy. If that's what the writer was going for they succeeded in my opinion.

Voting closed, no guesses abound, and truthfully…  I haven’t the foggiest who wrote what. Anyway, gonna be busy later with some Halloween beverage consumption (not often that it falls on a Saturday, woot!) and for no apparent reason felt compelled write something about my entry, that being ‘outing myself’, lest there be a voting technicality where it’s still pending? In that case, I’m just shooting myself in the other foot, first shot being the script. That being said, I’m 99.9999999% sure it’s not a contender.

So… yeah, anyway, thank you kindly to those who stopped by and gave feedback/comments, I sincerely appreciate it…! It’s obviously not everyone’s cup o’ poison and I was leery about choosing the episode I did (Button, Button) simply cause I thought it was quite well known, even amongst those who didn’t really get into the series but probably saw that movie ‘the Box’. Thus, I was thinking it might be too well known to the extent of it being a cult classic. After mulling it over for a few days I just went with it anyway, and I’m glad I did… cause it appears I’m the only one who’s in that cult.

Anyway… not obvious, but this script was (also) inspired by a Manga series I was binge watching late night on Netflix just prior to the challenge called ‘DoroheDoro’.

It’s quite the lucid animation filled with gratuitous gore, bizarre looking characters (mainly sorcerers), and doors between worlds. Wang is the walk in I envisioned as a sorcerer, and hoped to portray him as a stranger in a strange land, similar to the sorcerers that travel to the human world in DoroheDoro (a post-apocalyptic dystopia called ‘the Hole’).

Saru resides in this Hole type environment, an urban decay, and it’s evident what his purpose in life is, but (Wang’s) purpose, unfortunately due to page constraint, was never explained or fleshed out in any form, and with a few ill conceived keystrokes… he just simply dissolved into a silly translation. Devon of course is a hologram in this futuristic Blade Runner-y environment… I like his cavalier attitude and I think I’ll keep him around for other side projects.

Quoted from MarkRenshaw The whole laundromat lighting up and turning into a four-storey building…

No. That’s just me not being specific and skewing the scene description. The building is a four story but is one of those particular building’s in a densely populated area that reserves the first floor for shops etc. This particular one has a laundromat on the lower/street level. The building doesn’t shapeshift… but I do like that idea. Kind of like the buildings in ‘Dark City’.

Cheers, Gum. I was wondering about this one the most and who wrote it. Loved the dialogue and the pain inflicted. Devon was tops for me too. Bravo.
