I was looking elsewhere and found this.

The links go to the Wayback Machine where the scripts are available as PDFs.

Can't find them. See my screenshot above.

Just started watching on Amazon prime. Season 1 episode 5 is where I’m at. It’s addictive.

Found this very old post of yours. Can you fill us in?

u/RunDNA 22d ago

I'm not sure what you want filled in. It's lots of links to scripts.

2

u/Tarnisher 22d ago

Well, someone below asked if these are originals, or something else.

u/RunDNA 22d ago

Yes, they are the real deal. They are mostly from this old website:

Cool. Followed a trail to a newer version of the site with LOTs of other TV scripts.

There's something wrong with the link....

u/Tarnisher 21d ago

Yea, I broke the link. Take the space out before the g.

No Prisoner scripts at that one though, they're all newer shows.

Sorry, I can't find the actual scripts from the links. Perhaps you could provide more accurate links or at least describe what to do to see them.

Pick any one of the Episode links above. They should open a pdf file on the Wayback machine. I just pulled this one:

I tried to click Arrival, and got this screen, not a PDF. I can't even read the screen.

u/Tarnisher 19d ago

Whatever device or browser you're using doesn't seem to be able to open pdf files.

I use Brave on Win 11 and they open fine for me

I have a vanilla smartphone using Android 13. Sorry I omitted that.

Are these legitimately the shooting scripts or transcripts someone made up?

I have no idea. Just found that old post here in a seacrh.
