Citizens of the World: Seven episode synopsi


The series pieces together slowly, despite the pilot episodes being in an indefinite limbo. When I write, it's as if I'm observing the characters from afar, maybe from behind bulletproof glass. They do a lot of things when I'm not looking, it seems, because my best ideas tend to be forgotten when I sit down to write. These are a few episode synopsi (that is the correct plural tense, I do believe) for "Season 1". The show, while riding on a general arc, is deliberately not like Heroes or LOST's running arc because the desired atmosphere of the show is an adventurous, Knight Rider type one. The determined goal of the characters remains a constant, but I want the viewers to be able to observe the society the characters live in, and be able to juxtapose it to their own lives, while of course being glad they don't have the CIA and various rogue orgs on their asses...
S1.E3 - J & G's INFINITE HAT TRICK – With Juan Gutierrez dead and their mission seemingly at a dead end, James and Gabrielle cook up a con to use the Pillbox as a cash cow. When the con goes wrong, they find themselves caught between the CIA and a ruthless group of cyberterrorists.

S1.E4 - AMBER ALERT – During the course of a violent anti-police protest, Gabrielle is kidnapped by a seemingly psychopathic individual named Carmichael who forces her to carry out a list of bizarre and dangerous demands.

S1.E? - SHUT THE DOOR THEY'RE COMING THROUGH THE WINDOW – When Gabrielle, James and Christian stop for fuel in a rural suburb, a military presence rolls in and lock the town into an unexplained and nightmarish quarantine. When the soldiers begin inexplicably killing people, James, Gabrielle and Christian, aided by a cyber-journalist and a blind photographer battle the lock down, discovering, in the process, who and what the soldiers really are.

S1.E? - THE DOUBLE LIFE OF VICTORIA JONES – When Gabrielle wakes up in Baghdad held hostage by unknown kidnappers, she is rescued by the mysterious Henry Carmichael who sends her on a surreal journey of self-discovery that Gabrielle refuses to believe.

S1.E? - (THE SENSATIONAL REVERSE BROTHERS) BASSACKWARDS – When James and Christian are taken hostage by a mysterious duo of faceless militia, Gabrielle must avert the kidnapping and ensuing mad-scientist machinations of an ex-NORAD geneticist by sleuthing though an world which has suddenly been altered by a machine which causes time to run backwards.

S1.E? - THE GREAT GUZZOLENE ROBBERY – When an old boyfriend of Christian's asks for her help to smuggle several tons of Puerto Rican gasoline into America, Christian finds herself on the run from her boyfriend's Godfather's oil running cartel.

S1.E? - I HAVE NO MOUTH AND I MUST SCREAM – During a heated chase, Gabrielle is trapped by a more pesky than usual WASP which, by a bizarre technical fluke, somehow transfers it's consciousness into her mind, leaving Gabrielle's body seemingly comatose, and her actual mind trapped in the cybernetic prison of an artificial military intelligence.
FYI, the only reason why I would divulge such detailed information about this show is because if any producer ever steals the concept, this blog, as well as several dated and locked documents on my laptop will be undeniable proof of the true author. Of course, should I be the one to produce the show, this blog and all spoilerish evidence will promptly disappear.
