Re: That One TUA S1 Draft That Wasnât Filmed:
In case you didnât know, thereâs a script of a TUA S1 episode floating around here that must have made it pretty far on the chopping block.
Probably most important, the episode confirms that Reggie knew the world would end in April of 2019. He didnât know how, he didnât know the exact day, but he know something was up. Honestly, I thought Reg was bullshitting Klaus in the afterlife when he explained why he killed himself. So I was kinda surprised to learn this.
Most of the script takes place on October 1, 2012, on the brelliesâ 23rd birthday. The script opens with two news anchors joking about the Mayan calendar ending in December. Reg and Pogo see this and Reg says something about how the Mayans were only a few years off.
We see Luther living at the academy and running solo missions for Reg. He encounters someone who resembles one of the original comic villains and accidentally ruins a birthday party and emotionally scars some children. Itâs hinted at the end of the episode that heâs just left on the mission that will leave him permanently deformed. Also, he watches Allisonâs movies and periodically calls her in California.
Diegoâs living with Patch. Theyâre both at the police academy. Diegoâs âNumber Twoâ complex results in him getting kicked out and Patch breaking up with him. Diego gives Grace a bracelet he meant for Patch, and Grace gives him the cross-stitch of the domino mask we see in his apartment in 2019.
Also Diego is SUCH a marshmallow, he visits Grace every week and puts money in Klausâs commissary. And it makes sense why Klaus only asked Diego for rides in S1.
Allison uses her powers constantly. For one day, she tries to NOT use them, and sheâs just. So close to losing it. Constantly. Girl canât wait for coffee, drive in traffic, etc. Itâs actually sad how dependent she is on them.
Klaus is in prison. Doesnât say what he did but it doesnât surprise me at all. Whatâs interesting is that he seemed to have received some preferential treatment at first. While heâs transferred to a new block, the guard complains about Klaus getting put with the âwhite collarsâ because of his dad. He canât get drugs and someone puts a hit on him.
Also, we see Klaus engaging in actual, effective self-defense. Like he accidentally kills an inmate. Itâs wild. Iâm trying to comprehend how he goes from That to jumping on peopleâs backs and flopping like a fish in seven years. I donât think heâs forgotten his training. All I can think is that substance abuse has severely fucked him up. Not just loss of muscle mass, but maybe heâs screwed up the way his brain and body coordinate, so even if he knows what to do, he physically canât. Idk, someone else explain why Klaus canât fight.
Five is Old Man Five and working for the Commission. To mess with him, the Handler sends him to the brelliesâ city in 2012 to see if Five will blow his cover. He does. He yells at Diego but Diego doesnât recognize him.
BEN BEN BEN. This was probably the biggest change from the show. In S2, Klaus conjures Ben after Benâs funeral. And Benâs followed him ever since. HERE though, Ben appears while Klaus is in prison, because this is the first time since he died that Klaus has been sober enough to see him. And heâs actually PISSED that the brellies âletâ him die. The episode also acknowledges that for whatever reason, when Klaus gets high again, the other ghosts go away but Ben stays.
Last Viktor, who was written as Vanya in this script. Viktor has recently published his book, and everyoneâs furious about it, except Klaus. Viktor also has a girlfriend, who he catches cheating on him, forcing them to break up. So Viktor, unsure what else to do, visits Klaus in prison. They talk about Viktorâs book, and Klaus asks if he included the bit where Grace announced over breakfast that Diego just had his first wet dream. YES, thatâs in there. Klaus is the only sibling who supports Viktor and asks for a copy to read in prison.
Oh, and Klaus is delighted to learn that Viktor (then Vanya) has/had a girlfriend. Thereâs this âyay, gayâ kind of moment between them that we never saw in the show, where Klaus refers to himself and Viktor as fruits. Maybe this is why no one bats an eye about Viktor and Sissy in S2. Heâs already out.
