On this week's , @theLogBook and I take a peek at what could have been---a -penned script for The Show pilot. A show about a tough-as-nails lady lawyer who doesn't need anyone to come to her rescue, this is definitely one of the more interesting things we've covered on Gene-ology! missionlogpodcast.com/a-mans-w
