From Script to Screen: Episode 314, “Red Sky at Morning”

Hello!

You guys are awesome and we’re so excited to have you along for the ride this season. Per tradition, as a thank you, here’s a scene from Episode 314, “Red Sky at Morning” written by Lauren Muir and Kira Snyder.

[sugarjonze]

Went on a fantastic tour of downtown Los Angeles yesterday, a fundraiser for Venice Community Housing, which focused on the past, present, and future of design and architecture in DTLA. We toured historic buildings such as the Pac Mutual building, the library, and the Bradbury Building as well as loft conversions and a SRO facility in a former hotel that offers supportive, affordable housing to the formerly homeless. 

A highlight was a secret the renovations of the SRO revealed in their basement: an intact, Prohibition-era speakeasy! The "Monterey Room" was found complete with wooden bar and icebox, hat check, original windows with paintings, and tile awning. There also was a (now closed off) tunnel that led to City Hall. Or, more accurately, from. Seriously, was there ever a speakeasy that gave fewer f*cks to the 18th Amendment?

How do you say 'I am a little spoon' in trigedasleng?

(OMG I’ve been waiting so long to use this quote in another context!)

There is no word for “little spoon” in Trigedasleng.

Nah, but really, you got to change the grammar a little bit. So rather than saying “I am the X spoon”, it’s more like “I do X-type spooning”. Something like:

Ai spun ai op. “I act in the capacity of a front spoon.”

Ai spun ai in. “I act in the capacity of a back spoon.”

Here you use the same subject and object pronoun in a kind of self-referential reflexive way rather than having the object be a strict object. Even so, you can use these with objects fairly easily. Here are some examples:

Ai spun Klok op. “I spoon Clarke as the front spoon.”

Ai spun Leksa in. “I spoon Lexa as the back spoon.”

Little less wordy that English, actually, and a little more precise. (I.e. what’s the default interpretation for “I spoon you”? My sense is that you’re the one in the back; hard to get the interpretation that you’re the one in front. Think you need to do a passive for that…?)

So, fic away! A spooner would be spuna, but there’s no obvious way to indicate as a noun which is which. Maybe you’d say in-spuna vs. op-spuna (my English speaker’s sense is telling me you should be able to do that still in Trigedasleng for emphasis—essentially treating the verbal satellite like an adjective to specify). Usual way would be to see if you could recast it as a sentence with a verb, though. But yes, all that works, so go for it!

This hilarious but sweet and also accurate discussion of spooning as described in Trigedasleng is my new favorite post of David’s.

Why Titus wasn't introduced in the second season? Is there any particular reason why you did him appear in the S3?

The main reason is – we never went to Polis in Season 2. 

Titus is the only Flamekeeper, and his duty and responsibilities are tied to the Grounder capitol. He oversees and protects the sacred Temple (with all of the ∞ artifacts), so Polis is where he must remain. 

Neil Sandilands, who plays Titus, is incredible and we couldn’t be more thrilled with what he brings to The 100 universe!

I got this as an Ask as well... thanks for answering, Aaron!
