Time Warp An anthology series about teenage girls and hitmen swapping bodies.

Jessica Mitchell

I've been watching too many humor and sci-fi and nature shows lately, obviously, bc my next thought was... How?? Are they using nano-enhanced shrooms?! lol Pay no mind to me ;)

The idea brings up so many funny thoughts, Bourne and Mr. Right, or lol Mr & Mrs Smith and... Time Warp...well, doesn't matter. I do love the idea of it. I would watch it!

Okay. What does that mean?

Jessica Mitchell

Well, I'm not sure how the Time Warp thing works for switching bodies, so when I read it I wondered how and how in a time warp, but then Nano tech could maybe in future manage that, but in future, maybe it would also be as detailed or as long living, or even capable of being intertwined with mycorrhizal type function. Mycorrhizal networks can link together not just different trees, but different ages of trees, and can potentially be extremely long lived, as long as they have a food supply that doesn't run out. Try watching the Netlix show "Fantastic Fungi" bc they do a wonderful job of explaining. ^^ And of course, the time traveling thing reminded me of sci-fi shows like Traveler, Heroes, Timeless, Fringe and an oldie Quantum Leap, and of them I prefer Quantum Leap bc it's more positive, though the others all face issues like Assassins and Hitmen, and in some cases Are those people, so... And humor, well, bc Fringe and Quantum Leap remind me of shows like Eureka and Firefly (both of which I was saddened to see ended). BC it's an Anthology Series you're doing, anything Could happen, and it would be almost a little like a new view on the Very Old series called Twilight Zone.. Anyway... Just... liked your idea. Raised a lot of good shows for me, and got me thinking about things that were related.

Thank you!

I have to say, I don't really get it. Assassins and hitmen really do the same job so where's the conflict? It's like pitching an idea about two body-swapping clowns or two body-swapping neurosurgeons, it's not as though the mind of one is going to interfere with the task of the other and I can't see where the conflict might arise.

Tony Byrd

Well, the girl was trained to kill.

Pierre Langenegger

1) What girl? You didn’t mention a girl. 2) Assassins and hitmen both kill people. What do you think the difference is between them?

Tony Byrd

Well. Do you want me to change it?

Pierre Langenegger

Not really. It’s your pitch.

Tony Byrd

So. What is the X meets Y for this pitch?

Pierre Langenegger

I don’t understand what you’re asking.

Tony Byrd

I think the idea is John Wick meets Freaky Friday.

Pierre Langenegger

You've changed your original post. This is not good for maintaining your integrity. If you want to make a correction, do it in a comment to your post, don't change the post itself because now the discussion we've had, makes no sense.
