In lieu of thinky stuff, let's play a game today!

Scan the list of Pilots-related prompts below and choose one or more, and identify the first thought or concept related to it that comes to your mind. Then free write on the topic for five minutes, or make an icon or a macro, or post a 100-word (or longer) drabble, or rec a fic or vid that it reminds you of... ANYTHING GOES! The list includes some specific stuff but also some vague words that could have double meanings.

Oh nice! I did not know this was an improvised bit. Makes sense though.

I enjoy all their improvisations I must say. (Ahem esp. Jamie's suggestion that Lee should kiss her.)


***why does brain now want RPF of them trying to out-improvise each other? Oh dear.***

ETA: I just read today that apparently Harrison Ford improvised the "I know" response in Star Wars. That too totally makes sense given Lucas's later crap writing.

Was Ford supposed to say "I love you too"? Cause that would be a badass bit of improv. That line is LEGENDARY Han Solo.

It's always interesting to hear what was changed from the script, and I think in a lot of cases the screenwriters didn't really trust the performances to say enough and the actors fixed it. Another example I've heard of is that in "Scar," in the scene after Kat hits Kara and Lee asks her if she's okay, she was supposed to say something back. But on the commentary they say that the reaction she has on her face in response to his concern says it all, so they just called cut.

Yup he was! Apparently George Lucas didn't like the line and made him go to a test screening to try to prove it would get a "bad laugh" and instead it got a "good laugh" and was kept in!

Yeah I listened to the commentary on Scar about that one. I think he too was supposed to say something to Kat and instead he just gave her a look and she fell silent, right before that.
