Cheers 2x07 ❝ Old Flames ❞

when I was like 12 and obsessed with Cheers the tv show, I absolutely hated the finale of Diane coming back and sam and Diane both pretending to have moved on by being married and having lots of kids. I liked the concept, I just think it could have been done so much better. So hear me out:

Everything is the same. Sam talks to Diane on the phone, lies and says he’s moved on. Married with a bunch of kids. So Diane does the same. (Like I think it happened in the original?)

Then Diane arrives, she’s with her gay dog groomer(?), whatever. And Sam has Rebecca pretend to be his wife. All that’s the same. But Diane brings along a little boy about six, says it’s her and her husband’s son. Everything mostly happens like it did in the original, except now there’s a little boy.

Rebecca gets with the plumber dude (?) and we discover Diane’s “husband” is gay. They laugh about going such lengths to make the other jealous.

Finally Sam asks, he has to know, “where’d you get the kid from? Snatch him from toys r us or something?” And that’s when Diane gets quiet. That’s when she gets serious. “He’s mine, actually. Big baseball fanatic. Flirtatious with the girls on the playground…” And Sam slowly realizes, but she helps by pushing further: “a lot like his father.” Sam is too stunned to speak, diane thinks he’s not getting it: “he’s your son, sam”

“to be continued” and ending credits

Part 2, again, is the same as it was originally. They’re back together, getting married, and he decides he’s leaving with her. Everybody at the bar hates it, like in the original, but it’s different. Now there’s a kid involved. Now there’s actual stakes, actual responsibility

Like how it originally ended, they ultimately decide they shouldn’t get back together and Sam returns to the bar. Except he doesn’t return right away, he leaves with them to California (?) to spend time with the kid and has everybody at the bar think he’s gone for good until he pops up like a few weeks later like, “yeah, it didn’t work out”

He mentions about visiting the kid every few months, and having him during summers. Everybody forgives him for making them think he abandoned them, and they drink to sam’s newfound fatherhood

Carla, of course, fusses over having diane back in her life. “She’s not back in our lives, Carla. You heard sam, she’s staying in California,” Norm assures. “Yeah, with her kid. Sam’s son, the future of this bar.” Everyone, including sam, lets out a very unenthused “oh”

Anyway, the show ends. And then maybe I would have Sam’s appearance in Frasier later on deal with something about his son, instead of the fleeing from marriage storyline

That’s it, that’s what I would change. Or, that’s what 12 year old me would change ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

access to higher education is so limited in america so I'm gonna make a google drive full of the resources I'm given at my university I still have access to. For what I no longer have access to, I'll just post a list of books, articles, poems, ect from the course. Granted it's gonna be a lot of political theory and history but like its some cool stuff.

starting off,

A Brief History of Fascist Lies by Federico Finchelstein (my actual professor. this book is fantastic)

Gotham: A History of New York City to 1898 by Edwin Burrows

No Place of Grace: Antimodernism and the Transformation of American Culture, 1880–1920 by T.J. Jackson Lears

City of Eros: New York City, Prostitution, and the Commercialization of Sex, 1790-1920 by Timothy Gilfoyle (literally so fascinating)

Myth and Thought among the Greeks by Jean-Pierre Vernant

Mortals and immortals by Vernant

Moon, Sun and Witches: Gender Ideologies and Class in Inca and Colonial Peru by Irene Silverblatt

Gilded City: Scandal and Sensation in Turn-of-the-Century New York by M.H. Dunlop

Behind-the-Scenes of Return to the Falls

I did a post like this once before covering the first two chapters, so it seems about time to do another one covering the next four chapters!  I like to think I’ve got a few interesting tidbits here at least:

IQ-tie

The working title for this chapter was “Mabel and the Smarty Pines”, which never quite sat right with me, but I had a hard time thinking of something better.  What would become the titular pun was originally on Mabel’s sweater, which said “IQ and QT”.  But then when I was trying to think of a better title, @immaplatypus told me the similar pun – that Mabel was an IQ-tie – and it immediately stood out to both of us that it would be a much better title.

Is Trivi-o’s a lame name for a cereal?  I debated about it and decided yes, it is, and that is good.  A lame name for a lame cereal.

I did a lot of second-guessing myself about the logistics of the Sfinx and her very existence, but I’m glad in the end I didn’t let myself overthink it too much.  I’m really happy with how she turned out.

Much like the previous chapter, I wasn’t totally sure of how the heroes were going to turn the tables at the climax, and then when I separately thought up Carla’s “It’s for … arson” line in reference to her lighter, then I decided that’d be a good ole Chekov’s gun to bail them out.  But there was an early draft in which Carla piloted McGucket’s sphinx robot like an anime mech to beat the crap out of the Sfinx herself, so that’s fun to think about.

Challenge of the Hunt

The theme of the chapter always centered around the idea that there are more ways to win a challenge than simply playing along, but the finer details of the plot went through some major changes.  In one particularly bleak version, the Hunt was the ghost of a child who was abandoned in the woods and was misguidedly trying to protect Dipper and Mabel from their Grunkles, but that never felt quite right to me.

Skull Kid from The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask was a major visual and behavioral inspiration for the Hunt, though they ended up being very different in the end.  My original sketches of the Hunt even included a very Majora-esque mask.

Originally instead of having a pet wolf, the Hunt was going to transform into a giant wolf-like beast themself during their chase.  I later decided that having a pet wolf to help would add to the huntsman theme, plus it just didn’t feel like a very sporting ability for the Hunt to have themself.

On a related note, if the joke wasn’t obvious, the Hunt’s wolf is named Virginia as a pun on the author, Virginia Woolf.

Originally instead of taking trophies from the losers of their game, the Hunt was going to just straight-up murder them, with it being implied that the Manotaur from the beginning was killed, but that was darker than I wanted and made it feel harder to let them off scot-free at the end, so I’m glad I had the trophy idea instead.  Plus that led to some fun Stan dialogue, so it’s a win-win!

The chapter didn’t originally feature Candy and Grenda but I was really itching to write for them and already had other side characters to focus on in upcoming chapters, so I threw them in here.  I’m really glad too, got some great material out of their inclusion.

Grenda’s middle name being “Papercut” is, of all things, a Kick Buttowski reference, where Carl Faruolo, Grenda’s voice actor, voices a former wrestler named Papercut Peterson.

The original version of the “Grenda tramples the Hunt” scene instead had her and Dipper being ambushed by the Hunt and her instinctive response being to pick up the Hunt and throw them like a shot put.  I really wish I’d found a way to incorporate that because it’s such a hilarious image to me.

The whole bit of dialogue in the pit with Stan rambling about digging out was graciously provided by @immaplatypus

I had various different ideas for the Hunt’s “trophy room”. The first was going to be something Dipper and the others stumble on while fleeing that really gets them freaked out about what the Hunt can do, but I struggled to organically fit it in and thought things were getting kind of long anyway, so instead I made it the sight of the climactic showdown with the Hunt.

For anyone not catching the joke, Stan calling the Hunt “Helen” is a reference to actress Helen Hunt.

The Carla and Soos subplot was born from this being one of my oldest chapter ideas, at a point in which I hadn’t even added Carla to the story yet, so I realized much later on that I just completely forgot to ever add her to this chapter.  And since Soos wasn’t a part of the family camping trip, then that all worked out perfectly to pair him up with Carla.  And I’m really glad it did, because their scenes were some of my favorites I’ve written so far.

Scrapped line from Soos, reassuring Carla about her place in the Shack: “Rudeness is polite in this house!  It’s just like Mr. Pines always says: get off the premises or I’ll shoot!”

There’s not really any significance to the Hunt being a deer-fox.  I wasn’t drawing from any particular inspiration, it was just two animals associated with hunting that I thought made a good aesthetic, and I think I’d been watching Hilda (which also features a deerfox) around the time I was initially sketching them.

Some other possibilities I considered for the ending cryptogram:

YOU JUST LOST THE GAME – if you get this, you’re liable for a senior’s discount

IT REMINDS ME OF THE HUNT – an obscure Fairly OddParents quote I think of daily

THE HUNT HUNTER HAS BECOME THE HUNT HUNTED – the word “hunt” really just gets used a lot in this chapter

The Sorceford’s Apprentice

Once again, Robbie’s song was spur-of-the-moment spit out by Jessica. Everyone go love up on her and her extraordinary talents.

Instead of a possum king, Dipper and Gideon were originally going to deal with a squirrel king that is defeated because Gideon is a true southern gentleman and always carries cashews in his pockets.

Supernatural Speakeasy

Here’s one passage from the town meeting that I had to cut for pacing but nevertheless love a lot:  “I’m still temporarily deprived of my wealth,” Preston Northwest said.  “And my pyramid scheme – I mean perfectly legitimate business – needs buyers. And I’ve already ripped off – I mean marketed to – almost everyone in town.”  He leaned over to the Pizza Guy sitting beside him.  “Hey, chum, have you heard of essential oils?”

Demusa is 100% voiced by Susan Egan.  She’s gotta be dripping with sultry like Meg from Hercules.

Pacifica was going to be obnoxious BFFs with C-Beth but then I had the idea for Gideon and C-Beth’s interaction and the concept of Demusa came to me.

A scrapped subplot would have had Mabel claim to be over the dating game, but Dipper is afraid she’ll fall back into old habits, so he tries to make her oblivious to any “dateable” creatures, which is difficult since there are now swarms of them in the Shack, and he doesn’t want another Norman situation.  I got rid of it because it just wasn’t working out smoothly and was just enjoying all the other minor conversations, but it persisted slightly in the existence of the Wolf Boy.

There are a few vague allusions here to a scrapped chapter that would have focused on Multi-Bear and his backstory.  It never worked out great and it felt shoehorned in as a continuation of old plots (namely that of Dipper vs. Manliness), so I never did much with it.  It would have involved a Russian ringmaster creating a circus of freaks and capturing the Manotaurs, forcing Leaderaur to team up with Multi-Bear and Dipper to save them.  I don’t remember my exact backstory for Multi-Bear but it was going to involve Mayor Befuftlefumpter of all people being the adoptive brother of Multi-Bear, and Leaderaur as a childhood friend of both.  It was all really weird and it’s good that it was thrown out on the curb where it belongs.

The ending cryptogram is a reference to a quote from Sgt. Frog Abridged on Youtube.

That’s all for now, hope some of you found this at least a little amusing!  Thanks so much for reading and sticking around!  And keep your eyes peeled for the sneak peek of the next chapter!
