Ah rx-viagra, the biggest crux I dealt with in doing the “Friends in High Places” arc was how to go about showcasing Jillian’s astral projection ability.  The more my television script had to adapt itself for a comic format I ended up having to cut out a lot of fat from the story.  This storyline in this arc serves to establish characters and organizations and their relations to one another with a focus on finding out about the UFO crash from the prologue.  Unfortunately, “Friends in High Places” is not a ghost story, so a lot of the mythos attached to ghosts and how they operate in my universe had to be cut and established in a future story arc.

You readers who have seen the Christmas Special — already know about Jillian’s astral projection and have an idea of how it works.  Since I didn’t have a good scene early on to showcase Jillian using the ability in Act I without derailing the story I had to have the Narrator mention her ability in this conversation.  That way when it shows up later on in Act 2 it won’t be too much of a surprise for the audience.  I’m sure with more time to rearrange my plot I could have come up with something but I’m happy with it.

Anyone notice how I give Jillian some of the best lines?

See you next week and don’t forget to vote for a sneak peek of a scene from Act 3!  Thanks!
