Bingeworthy TV- Module 1, Assignment 4
Layers of Character Intrigue
What I learned during this assignment: It’s really not that difficult to apply layers of intrigue to characters. You just have to ask the right questions.
Assignment 1 – Example Show – Big Little Lies
In Episode 4 of Big Little Lies – Push Comes to Shove
We discover that Jane’s flashback sequences have expanded to her actually shooting at someone. We’re not sure who it is, but it would appear that she’s hiding from this guy she dated, but did not know well. He appears to be the one who raped her, although we never see who this guy is.
The teacher calls Jane in for a meeting because she believes Abigail, Renatta’s daughter might still be getting bullied by Jane’s son Ziggy. She doesn’t have any concrete evidence, but it creates intrigue, because we have to wonder if Ziggy is secretly taking after his father, whom he doesn’t know. In the meantime, Renatta asks her husband if they should be taking Abigail to see a child psychologist, because she seems withdrawn too much of the time.
We see Celeste smoking pot alone for the first time to calm her anxiety now that her husband is away. She sees a counsellor about how to tell her husband that she wants to resume her career as a lawyer. We know that her husband is controlling and is violent, so this revelation is not going to go over well.
In the Episode prior, Celeste goes to the mayor and defends Madelaine’s legal right to present a theatrical production they’ve been working on, despite the fact, some people in the community, including Renatta, want to ban it. The play will go on, but we know it will be an ongoing issue in the future. Joe, Madelaine’s friend and director of the theatrical show kisses her and tells her they have chemistry and he’s attracted to her. Madelaine simply tells him he’s misreading her and reminds him they’re both married. Considering Madelaine’s husband is not that confident about their relationship, this could pose a problem in future, which also causes intrigue.
Assignment 2: Stuart’s Role – Protagonist
Ways to Create Layers: Hidden Agendas – Stuart starts bringing women he’s really not interested in to family functions just to make his wife jealous or to not feel like a loser.
Competition: He feels he is in competition with Frank over the boys, so he may start to spoil them with more gifts and things. This is a part of his wound to be a better father. In his professional life, he doesn’t trust Mike Scarpelli so behind the scenes they are both trying to get rid of each other. He believes Mike will trying to overblow any slightest mistake he makes, which could be a problem for him if his M.S. gets worse.
Deception: He steals another scientist’s formula for M.S from the lab to add to his research. This could be a continuing lie. Stuart’s M.S. changes his personality and he becomes more concerned about not being able to achieve his goals, so he will lie and cheat and do anything to find a better cure for M.S.
He could lie about the results in the clinical trial.
He could lie about drinking or the amount he drinks to cope with his M.S. episodes or mood swings.
Maybe he gets hooked on uppers since M.S. makes him fatigued?
Stuart initially gets Archie to let him have a mini-lab at Cuckoo Valley by telling him that he knows about the best Big Pharma medical stocks to invest in when he gets more involved on medical science and he’s willing to pass that inside info. to Archie so Archie can make money.
Secret I.D.’s – Stuart discovers Boris changed his name and has another identity, but he keeps it to himself as they are best friends and later allies.
Stuart’s biggest loss in his past – besides his wife’s affair would be that his dad died when he was young. His father had high expectations of Stuart, so Stuart strives to be a pioneer in his field or at anything that he tackles. He is an over achiever, which means that he sometimes takes himself too seriously, sensitive and has a sarcastic sense of humour. He can also be stand-offish.
Boris: Role- becomes Stuart’s best friend.
Hidden Agenda: Wants to bring his entire family over from Russia and not just his wife. His daughters and sons-in-law are conscientious objectors and their life is in danger there, because they are pro-democratic.
Competition: Anyone at immigration. Beatrice, the administrator at the Retirement villa is nosy, so he wishes she were gone. Perhaps him and the rest of the gang conspire to somehow get Beatrice fired.
Secret: Boris was in the KGB at one time and defected. He changed his name and fled the country. His truck accident never actually happened, he was shot fleeing the country following a protest. The thing is when Boris reveals this, everyone just laughs and thinks he’s joking.
Wound: He feels like a failure, because he has broke his promise to his family. He wonders how he can get them out, but being in a wheelchair means he hasn’t been able to make enough money working to get them out. However, most of the residents in the home know he wants to bring his wife here and understand a part of the political scenario, so they do have empathy for him.
Max Thornton: Role: Dean of the University.
Hidden Agenda: While he seems supportive of Stuart, he really wants one of his own students and companies he support to find a better cure for M.S.
Deception: He tries to get Stuart involved in his social circles, committees etc., but that mostly so Stuart won’t have time to do the research he needs and not the reasons he gives. In fact, he wants Stuart to lecture at the university.
Secret: He had several affairs in his younger years with other teachers in his department, which is against policy. Those details have never surfaced.
Wound: His father was a donor at that university and he always felt like he only got the job there because of his father’s money. This makes him a little insecure at times, despite his demeanor that exudes confidence and privilege.
Hank – Role: Ghost/Practical Joker
He’s in competition with Stuart and resents the fact that he’s dead and Maddy likes Stuart.
Hidden Agenda: Despite the fact, Bradrick and Maddy want him to cross over, he doesn’t want to leave the retirement village and likes being a ghost most of the time. He still loves Maddy.
Conspiracy: He tries to Sabotage Stuart’s plans, but has some difficulty.
Secret Identity: Sometimes he lets Bradrick think he’s the ghost of another person. Hank comes to people and speaks to them in dreams.
Hank’s daughter comes to visit Maddy and Hank watches when she comes around. She reminds them of Hank, so he is never quite gone or never quite forgotten.

R. Reid Jr’s EPISODE LIST ROUGH DRAFT. Module 2 Assignment 4
What I learned during this lesson was how important it is to do a lot of planning to make my “pre-writing” a bit more fool-proof than just writing off the cuff” but with a plan. A plan that sells to a producer. This like the other exercises is helping me gain a clear path to making this story with characters that are believable, have things to deal with. And beginnings and endings for each Season, beginning with Season 1.
R. Reid Jr’s CHEAT SHEET
1. Beginning…Bruce an alien with no memory besides basic skills and a mission is sent to earth Season End/Cliffhanger…and it ends with the Mysterious woman he has been chasing saving his life
• Question A: What is the Beginning of the season and the End of the season?
• Question B: What possible cliffhanger could be in that last scene of the season, thus demanding that we watch the next season?
By Bruce having the person he has been chasing saving his life or his life is her hands puts us on the edge of our seats.
2. Season 1 Mystery Set up The Mysterious woman saying Bruce has been here to Earth/Sigma 2619 before.…………………………………..………………Season 1 Mystery Solved Clues indicate that Bruce has been here before, but he only gets it in clues he finds and instances of his memory that he can’t fully trust.
• Question A: What is the mystery?
• Question B: How could the mystery be set up? What parts will be left out that must be solved?
Having Bruce recall certain things in bits of flashes as he goes places or meets people. Like going to a place for the first time where SNOWY has been brainwashed is familiar to Bruce as if he has been there before.
• Question C: What it the ultimate solution that the characters must work to discover?
Bruce can choose to trust the Mysterious woman’s words that he has been to Earth/Sigma before. But that messes with his handlers thinking or instructing him on Earth/Sigma and his lack of adjustment.
3. Journey begins when he arrives on Earth/Sigma 2619 hot on trial of the emission of the TECH being used. Journey peaks when he runs into the agents also looking for the TECH but they have a different goal: they don’t know about the TECH as they are hunting the woman using the TECH.
• Question A: Where does the Lead Character journey begin and end for this season?
Bruce begins his journey as he arrives on earth and ends with the Mysterious woman saving his life and telling him he has been here before.
• Question B: Think about where this character goes in future seasons. That might give you an idea also.
4. ……Layer Bruce arrives on Earth/Sigma 2619
….…Layer Bruce’s own memory is a bit foggy, he thinks it is from the trip to come to Earth/Sigma or the earth it’s self that is having an affect on him.
………<font face=”inherit”>Layer Bruce traces the TECH he is </font>looking for<font face=”inherit”> to a Mysterious woman. </font>
………Layer Agents from Earth/Sigma are also looking for the Mysterious woman

<font face=”inherit”>………Layer One of the Agents looks to get a promotion at the expense of procedure and looks to get results in anyway </font>possible, e<font face=”inherit”>ven with the a life taken if necessary. </font>
………Layer The Mysterious woman proves hard to catch and she is dangerous too if she uses the tech on unsuspecting victims. But her motive is unclear.
……Layer Bruce seems to be caught in a trap that would show him to be know about the TECH a lot more than he seems and blowing his cover but the MYSTERIOUS Woman saves him and tells him he has been to EARTH/SIGMA 2619 before and somewhat helps him piece together some of the gaps in his memory.

Tracy El Pueblo Episode List Rough Draft
What I learned doing this assignment is that I have a lot of the answers, but not all of them. I need time to think!

Question B: What possible cliffhanger could be in that last scene of the season, thus demanding that we watch the next season?
The pirates learn that <st1:place w:st=”on”><st1:state w:st=”on”>California</st1:state></st1:place>
is undefended as the Spanish have no ships along the entire coast and is
ripe for the taking.<div>2. What is the mystery?
How do two Americans from very different backgrounds and states end up together in enemy territory?

where this character goes in future seasons.Antonia believes she can have choice about her life and behave outside acceptable norms due to increased interaction with these four men from beyond.
4. Layers
Question A: What layers have you already discovered in your BW Framework?
Layers of relationships in the village of 600 as more people move in, but the original folks are still there having to adjust; layers of professional, personal, and ethnic relationships aboard ship; layers of major conflicting religious beliefs; layers of hardship and adaptation to life on the rough frontier; layers of Spanish caste identity that determines fate…or does it?
5. Make a list of the Major Story Lines.
Theme: Does anyone besides the king have free choice to determine their lives?
Question A: What main
characters have story lines that affect everyone else?Antonia interacts with these four men, which changes her outlook, behavior, and choices.
Joseph becomes a model citizen helping construct major projects — is it a cover or does he intend to stay?
Thomas finds freedom deep in the empire as a horse whisperer, but worries as more Americans appear on the shore.
Question B: What are the

Janeen’s Episode List Rough Draft
What I learned doing this assignment is that I had to redo this after reading the lecture. 🙁 This is version 2.
Steps 1-5 – Answering questions.
Story Lines:
Cara leaves her life as a Silva/NMT practitioner in CA to become a farmer in rural Iowa.
Randi finds she has Alzheimer’s, hides it from everyone living, but sees herself failing at some tasks
Jim believes his son is Mike’s kid and wants Randi’s farm for his son.Beginning of the Season to the End of the Season/Cliffhanger
Beginning: Mike/Mindy have died in a car crash on NYE and Cara is named as the twins’ guardian and the executor of the estate.
Ending: Cara realizes that she is going to have to stay on the farm until the twins are of age and can take over because something is up with Randi.
2. Beginning: Mike/Mindy investigate the death of Molly 6 months before.
Ending: Mike/Mindy think Jim killed Molly and is killing them the same way.
Mystery Setup to Season 1 Mystery Solved
What is the mystery? How did Molly die?
How could the mystery be set up? Molly is dead and left a suicide note, but had grown up on that road with the tracks. Why did she suddenly not look for a train?
What is the ultimate solution that the characters must work to discover? Jim accidentally caused her death even though Mike and Mindy think it was deliberate.What is the mystery? What’s up with Randi? Why was Cara chosen to be the executor, not Randi?
How could the mystery be set up? Mike/Mindy pick Cara to be their kids’ guardian, but before that paperwork is even done, they pick her to also be their executor. Why?
What is the ultimate solution that the characters must work to discover? Randi has Alzheimer’s that she only informed Mindy of — no one else knew/knows.Journey of the Lead Character:
Where does the Lead character (Cara) journey begin and end for this season?
Beginning: Cara feels obligated to take over when her friends die, but doesn’t fully understand why it is her or have a clue of what to do with the farm, isn’t sure Mindy’s use of NMT/Silva on the farm was ethical, hears her ticking biological clock.
Ending: Cara has gone through have a year of farming, learned about the farm finances and how little income there is for all of the assets; still isn’t sure why she was selected as the executor, but is beginning to understand (Randi’s odd NMT results, Randi’s fear of her sons coming to Iowa — Did Mike and Mindy know more than they told about Randi?)2. Where does the Lead character (Randi) journey begin and end for this season?
1. Beginning: Randi wants Cara to stay and do all of the things Mindy used to do — NMT/Silva, bookkeeping, kid care, keeping her Alzheimer’s a secret
2. Ending: Randi is ready to admit that she won’t be able to stand up to her sons, fears them gaining POA over her and realizes she must set it up while she is still considered capable of making the decision if it is to stand up in court.
Layers of characters that make big changes:
Cara: Loved Mike as soon was she met him;
Was always jealous of Mindy’s life
Is desperate for a baby, but still in love with Mike as she has always been
Despite her ethics concerns she uses Silva/NMT out of habit to further her interests
Randi: Needs to cement Cara into her new role before she is incapacitated
Fiercely competitive for the sake of she and her husband’s and Mike/Mindy’s legacy for the twins — wants them to be able to farm some day so needs more land
Knows about Molly’s fake suicide note because she overheard Mike/Mindy talk about it
Lost her husband to cancer and her two older sons to Alaska which she believes killed their father — broke his heart
Is a master manipulator, despite her personality and Alzheimer’s
Jim: Wants to get Randi’s farm (or at least a third of it) for his oldest son who he is convince was Mike’s, not his.
Willing to partner with anyone to fight big ag — probably not this first season
Wants to have fun with/help Cara to influence her, but will only marry for land which Cara cannot provide him with.
Caused his wife’s accident, but deliberately tampered with Mike and Mindy’s car
Believes the fiction that he was better than Mike at everything — sports, love, farming, fatherhood
Major Story Lines:
Farming is not particularly lucrative
Farmers can help beat climate change, especially in Iowa where wind power can be a game changer for the environment — good place for carbon sequestration, carbon extraction plants?
Why has Hunter always been treated like a grandson while Gabe is not?POSSIBLE EPISODE IDEAS

Rob’s Episode List Rough Draft

Hopefully it’ll come together as time goes by …
