The Scene: A swanky Hollywood office with a view of the ocean.
–Can you see the ocean from Hollywood?
I don’t know
–Because we strongly believe in realism
Is that so?
–About stuff we know about
Which is?
–Shut up.
Anyway, so it’s a Hollywood office, there are 3 aliens
–Why 3?
Because 3 is the answer to everything now shut up!
–Whatever
So the aliens are roommates…
–Is this Lovecraft meets Three’s Company?
…No
–Are you sure? Cause I don’t know how Cthulhu would keep track of things like rent collection and basic household maintenance.
Fine, you don’t like it, lets try the next. The scene: a lawyer’s office–
–You have a thing for offices, it seems.
And there are doctors next door. And they’re all–
–Roommates?
…The scene: vast reaches of space. A vast federation of explorers–
–Who are roommates?
Werewolves! That live in the forest!
–All together in a pack?
…
–…
How about we just do “Jersey Shore: Alpha Centauri”
–Isn’t Alpha Centauri completely and totally inhospitable to human life even if that life has been completely and utterly irradiated by tiny cancer boxes?
Yes.
–Sold!
