Re: the climax of OfF 1.0

(The below won’t make (much) sense if you haven’t read the previous posts.)

Martin Luther King Jr.: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

Said climax will center on the presentation of a polished version/variant of this slide:

The slide will be presented/explained in stages, with the title and arc added last . . .

Understanding why the slide will be presented starts with recalling that:

From Story:

“Once the [story’s] Climax is in hand . . . we must work back from the ending to make certain that by Idea and Counter-Idea every image, beat, action or line of dialogue sets up this grand payoff.”

So the pilot’s penultimate reversal — positive-to-negative — must derive from the partners’ comic plight becoming known to them.

The pilot’s first act, then, must culminate with the establishment of the initial positive charge: the partners’ initial sense that they are great together.

Great together in the context of an OfF flowmance means a win-win(-win . . .) that PROFITS OSG.

So the comic plight in OfF 1.0 will be the most credible/obvious threat to such PROFIT: the flowmance partners have incompatible attitudes toward risk (e.g., one person is risk-seeking, while another is risk-averse).

Key to undoing the threat: the flowmantic partners feel a sense of duty to fulfill the promise of orgies-for-free ASAP.

Precedent re: subduing incompatibility via sense of duty

From 1999–2006 NBC dramedy The West Wing:

Sam (D) overcomes his partisan inclination because he feels a sense of duty to a higher ideal: love of country. The same sense/love motivates Ainsley (R) to work for a Democratic administration.
