Gaaaaah!!! I need to catch up too, holy shit. I am so sorry Jack!! I will HOPEFULLY get that done this week. Hahaha, its all good. I've been way too consumed in school work for the past few weeks to read/review all these other shows. Plus, having less people tell me to hurry up and get these next two episodes done is like... coke zero to me. And I love coke zero. Hahaha. So that's good! XD Jaaaack, been a while since I read this series. It feels almost like an old friend. I'll make sure to catch up ASAP before the grand finale! One of my favourite reviewers! Like I said to Aimee, its all good. Less pressure for me. I remember one of your comments in the review for "War" about expecting this big 'breakout of prison' thing and how you sort of would have loved to see that. So I've been trying to incorporate more of that into this penultimate episode, even though I have a crap load of storylines in it that I can't have that be the main focus, there will be more of a... break-y and escape-y kinda feel to it. Haha.

Wow, I can't believe I've influenced the thought process behind the show. That's kinda neat. xD

Yeah, I take in what everyone says. Everyone's reviews always help and have a strong impact on me, in terms of the writing process, and the show.
I take a lot of the constructive criticism on board- if its something that was viewed as a big problem, rather than "I didn't like this particular part." MJ offers a lot of constructive criticism that sticks in my mind- one example was that I used the word 'retract' in the wrong place a few times in, I think it was "Vendetta", and she pointed it out for me, and gave me the word I was looking for. And seeing as there are a lot of guns, knives, bow and arrows, etc, that's extremely useful and springs into mind when those sort of scenes occur. I know you and Brady have offered a lot too in terms of that, which I thank you for.
With Karl, his reviews are always focused so much on the story- its like going on a forum to find fans of your show talking about what they loved about each episode. That really helps when it comes to the direction of the show. Like, I know Karl was a big Speedy/Mia fan, so when I brought her back for the sixth episode, I tried to include a few things that would make him, probably the only vocal Mia fan, enjoy the episode a lot more than the others. Or in other ways when someone is vocal about their favourite character, and you want to keep them on the edge of the seat, so when Brady tells me how much he loves Helena and doesn't want her to die, my thought process is: 'I wonder how many times I can scare him now with Helena, before he hates me, or her...' Hahaha jks. But you know what I mean. XD
So yeah, I freakin' LOVE reviews. They always pop into mind during the writing process, and the planning process. With Escape, I have pretty much two break-ins, and whilst doing them, all I could think of was "Now, Amin said that security seemed a bit ridiculous back with the KCS, so I need to focus on that." Hahaha. Everyone who reviews offers all those aspects combined, didn't mean to leave anyone out, just using ya'll (suddenly I'm from Texas) for examples and stuff.
Sorry, I'm ranting. Just woke up from a nap, and am all hyped up. xD

I think her character is one that didnt get alot of limelight but in WT she was able to shine And i love that we had an episode this season dedicated to her

So, I've finished writing "Escape".
I'm feeling very weird about this episode. I don't know. It may be because I've been trying to finish it for god knows how long, or maybe because I've been more excited about writing the finale than this one, but yeah. I had two scenes I wanted to include- but they mess with the ending of the episode. They're kind of important in sort of book-ending the episode for two certain characters and what their role was for this particular episode, but I think I can use them to open the finale.
I'm also miserable about saying goodbye to one of my favourite characters. Gave them a nice little tribute in their final moments. I don't know how I'm going to feel writing the major death in the finale, but I'm kind of just relieved to be reaching that finish line for the season.
I was going to release a promo with some scenes edited around for you guys, but all the action packed stuff is so exclusive to the final two acts that I'd have to pull a lot from there, and I don't want to ruin it. I hope you guys enjoy the episode when it airs- which will be...
*drum roll*
... Monday, October 1st.
Unfortunately, the finale more than likely won't air in the following week, but I will be spending the rest of my holidays penning it, and I've had it outlined and ready for a while (it was pretty much the first episode I planned coming into season two). So hopefully you don't have to wait too long! xD

Jack that is so true. I am a HUGE Mia fan. I think her character is one that didnt get alot of limelight but in WT she was able to shine :DAnd i love that we had an episode this season dedicated to her I loved bringing her back for that episode. Season One was such a short season, and Mia wasn't as much a part of it as I originally intended, so it was nice to bring her back and give that character some justice. I would have loved to see her more on Smallville- I loved her sidekick role to Oliver. It was like he had a little sister to look after.

Jack, it would be awesome if you use "some nights" in the finale!

I've already got two really great songs planned for the finale. Even though I love "Some Nights", it won't fit in with the context of the story. And, I was out all of last night- saw "Looper", which was awesome, and so I haven't had time to upload "Escape". You can expect it later today- I'm gonna go over it one last time, and then upload! XD

Kind of fell asleep for the last five hours... I know, I know, that's bad. But I'm on the very last act- going over all the scenes. Should be up and ready to read in the next hour. Thanks for all the patience over this wait, I know its taken its time, but I appreciate everything. XD

I wanted to try and get some more done so I could have a mini-promo attached to the back of "Escape", but I didn't get as much done as I wanted to do that. About to upload the episode now

The VPN has released the official description of Watchtower's second season finale-
“Anarchy” THE SEASON FINALE. GOTHAM WILL FALL - As Chloe (Allison Mack) races against the clock to save the man she loves, Oliver (Justin Hartley) is caught in the crossfire of The Joker’s (guest star Joseph Gordon Levitt) war on Gotham City. As chaos fills the streets, The Dark Knight (Christian Bale) surfaces from the shadows to take The Joker down. Thirsty for revenge, Helena (Kayla Ewell) embarks on a hunt for Harley Quinn (guest star Nicki Minaj) that proves to be more deadly for her than her target. Meanwhile, Selina (Eliza Dushku) abandons the city in search of Holly (guest star Alona Tal), stumbling across a threat far worse than The Joker. Alaina Huffman, Julian McMahon and Michael McKean also appear.
Here are some spoilers for the episode:
• The episode features a wedding. • Alessandro Juliani reprises his role of Emil Hamilton. His vision of the future, obtained from the helmet of Nabu earlier in the season, factors into his reappearance, as well as Oliver's swan song. • The episode will introduce us to a well known DC Comics character, found in Batman's extensive rogue gallery. • Despite previous claims, this episode involves the death of two characters- one is a series regular, and the other has been a recurring guest star. • Lynda Carter returns as "Moira Sullivan." • Alaina Huffman and Julian McMahon are not obligated to appear in the finale, but producers claim: "We know what could bring them into the story, its just a question of whether or not they can fit." • You can expect a massive showdown, involving both The Joker and Harley Quinn at episode's end.
