See, I re-read it, and it's not as stupid as it sounds.

I was going to ask whether maybe you edited out the thing where it says "Dead, and he choked on the killer's dick", which would indeed probably rule her out. (I somehow suspect that "wait, what if she's trans and hasn't done bottom surgery yet" is not part of the thought process.) It does say "a fierce and bloody fight", which might reasonably imply that it was someone strong enough to beat him up, and maybe Danger lives in a world where no women are strong.

Of course. If there was a "fierce and bloody fight", surely you could check them for injuries or something? ... Nah, crazy.

I think the worst part of that is the assumption that the chicken thief had to eat it RIGHT THEN. Plenty of dishes you can make with cold chicken. Salsa verde comes to mind.

Oh good lord I just realized how this is going to end.

Les is going to make friends with the actors, and sell them on the original idea of Lisa dying and having the movie actually be tragic. Then the evil studio is going to push more stupid changes to make it a loving romcom or something, and the actors will rebel against the studio and side with Les. In the end, by standing up to the studio the movie will be made as originally intended and Les's precious ~artistic integrity~ will be preserved and Lisa's Story will be saved.

It took me a moment, since I expected to see Jarvis Cocker there, but I get it. Amazing.

e: Also, that Inspector Danger, holy poo poo. I'm wondering if it might be a thing where the witness used gendered pronouns, thus creating a situation where #1 was out "due to her gender" but the pronouns were lost in translation to English. Can we get someone who knows...uh, languages on the case?

I was thinking the exact same thing: the actors will take Les's side against the horrible, awful changes inflicted on Les's script by Hack Rewrite Guy/Waiter and Hack Producer, and insist on doing the script exactly as originally written. Beefcake Guy and Blonde Chick will be so exalted by Les's deathless words that they'll turn in performances worthy of Olivier and Streep, and Latino Guy will gracefully accept a role as an extra because there are no Latinos in Westview. And Tom Bat will imagine us readers shedding tears of joy and doing a slow clap as "Lisa's Story" wins a billion Emmys.
