Is it bad that my mind fixated on "do ALL the lines!"?
This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...Yes, this was a spec submission. Connor Sites-Bowen had already written Walk and Talk in Season 1, and of course he played Knife Guy, but he had no idea what the story of Season 2 would be when he submitted the initial draft of Chekhov's Gun. So there's a lesson to be learned here about what spec scripts are going to work for Echo Chamber. They're going to stand well on their own, while still leaving room for the season's continuity to get worked in.
The script went through three rewrites by me and Dana before it became what it is, though. So it wasn't perfect from the get-go. No script is.
I'd also like to weigh in and say re: our page that yes, it will need reworking, especially as we add more episodes. How about this:
-At the top, have the most recent episode.
-Embed the premiere and finale of Season 1, link to the rest of Season 1.
-Combine the "plot description" part, where the episodes are summarized, with the part where the tropes are listed by episodes. These sections are redundant. This should make the layout more intuitive.
-Embed each Season 2 episode next to its description. This way, only the most recent episode will be double posted.
Thoughts?

I was kind of expecting/hoping that the gunfire killed/seriously injured knife guy, but the crew would be too busy arguing over how awful Zach was and Tom getting shot to freak out over the dude beyond a couple words of acknowledgement.
"Never let the truth get in the way of a good story." TwitterHuh.
How did Zack even get a gun? I mean, someone like Zack probably wouldn't be able to have a license for one.

I think in PA you don't need a license unless you are concealing it
on the other hand, I think those kinds of guns are illegal everywhere in the States.

Zack is actually a Supreme Badass Magnificent Bastard of a Drug Lord with a thousand Xanatos Gambits running concurrently, and his Weapon Of Choice is an Uzi. Actually, make that two Uzis.
Running off the above guess, Zack's a GTA protagonist.

You forgot Obfuscating Stupidity.
This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...He's not a Chekhov's Gun, he's a Chekhov's Gunman, because he's a character, not an inanimate object.
Gave them our reactions, our explosions, all that was ours For graphs of passion and charts of stars...Do we know that for sure? What if he's a ficus in an elaborate costume?
