—SPOILER ALERT—SPOILER ALERT—SPOILER ALERT—
The final film in the Pitch Perfect Series, Pitch Perfect 3 is out on DVD and on on-demand. On a rainy Saturday night I snuggled up in my blanket and decided to watch this film. It follows the choral group the Bellas after their win at the accapella world championships.

Over the past several weeks I’ve posted the scripts for Season 2 Episodes 1 through 5 of the FoxKids Network The Silver Surfer animated series I ran for those who wondered what all of us involved in the show back in 1998 intended to come if we hadn’t been cancelled.

Its creator, Steven Bochco, who has died of cancer aged 73, was arguably the most influential producer of television drama of the past half-century. Hill Street Blues, his first major success, changed the very nature of cop shows.
Over the past several weeks I’ve posted the scripts for Season 2 Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3, and Episode 4 of the FoxKids Network The Silver Surfer animated series for those who wondered what all of us involved in the show back in 1998 intended to come if we hadn’t been cancelled.
Today it’s the turn of Season 2 Episode 5, The Hunger. This one’s a “Final Draft,” dated April 14, 1998. Almost twenty years ago? Whoa. To me, it only feels like nineteen.
