MEMO
TOP SECRET
From: TSJ
To: JK
The rights to the characters and situations of Roswell are the property of Warner Brothers, Jason Katims Productions, Twentieth Century Fox, Fox, Regency Television, and Melinda Metz.
...but I don't have to tell you that, right? No, the reason for this memo is to alert you to a containment breach: the bird has flown the coop–or the alien flown the pod.
I allude to the first-season scripts we ditched–those the network had deemed "too soft." They wanted woowoo, so we gave 'em woowoo: that new character, wassername–Bathsheba? Eustacia?–and a mutated story arc.
Remember what I said then?: Shred the scripts! Destroy all copies! You don't want the fans getting wind of them.
Well, bad news: somebody's broken that wind. We had a fan interning here (I know it's policy not to hire them, he lied), and he crept into the crypt–um, vault–found the scripts, and downloaded them. And by the time he was peached on, he was gone. Now my spies report he's turning them into fan fiction stories. Which means more of what we didn't want–
Readers of the lost arc.
