Joe, Shareeta, intrigue, danger!

So all this bantering is fun, but help me develop some teeth for this scene! -- James Holloway 04:59, 1 December 2005 (PST)

Trying again. Stupid server.

Idea that may be good or not, you tell me: what if either the SHARDettes or villain-guy from the last scene turned up and nabbed Shareeta? Presumably this would be outside the "test" script and would suggest that there's true villainy afoot, and it might be some pressure on Joe: act, even out of costume? Change and then act? Call in the rest of the team (who didn't do the same for him)? --Azrianni 05:46, 1 December 2005 (PST)

It seems to me that the two things in conflict here are (a) Joe's desire to make a personal connection with Shareeta and (b) his desire to help out the team. I think it's cool that we've discovered a flip side of the "Fitting in" equation, where the team is an obstacle to Joe's attempts to fit in elsewhere in his life.

Having to choose between making a good impression on Shareeta (who, let's face it, has been nicer to him than any of the SPARCs so far) and helping out the team would make sense. The conflict could be whether the one he neglects comes back to bite him; if he chases off after the bad guy, does Shareeta feel snubbed and talk him down to the other girls at school? If he stays with Shareeta, does a further plot kick in, or do the SPA chew him out for abandoning his duty?BlackSheep 07:32, 1 December 2005 (PST)
