controversial opinion that's being formulated and im not sure i even agree with but if i had to make mota under the same conditions (9 episodes, covid, inability to write a large ensemble cast well) i'd relegate buck and bucky to minor roles and scrap the stalag bits and focus all my attention on thorpe abbots/using a wing and a prayer as a major source text and develop that smaller cast of characters all based around the same location. characters that are shot down in episodes 4/5 are gone until episode 9! sorry!

#like of course ideally. um. i'd know how to write a large ensemble cast in this situation before i went in but well.#it's arguable if that was the case for mota #and while i know frank murphy was a source for the stalag stuff #he's also not a character um at all??? so again why not just use the one #clear focused source - crosby #and make helen a character HELLO HELLO THE WOMEN ON THE BASE CAN WE LEARN ABOUT THEM????#and this would hurt because crank </3 but he also doesn't do anything of note past episode 5 so.
