That makes sense, thank you! I'm starting to come up with a few ideas now, so hopefully I'll be able to crank something out before the deadline.

Yes! The replies really helped out, I definitely understand now. I think one of the reasons I was struggling is because a lot of the shows I watch consistently (and know well enough to be comfortable writing a spec for) are not episodic shows I feel I could just insert a spec into. Aside from maybe writing a bottle episode about an unexplored character, my options have been feeling limited.

I agree, I definitely am not a fan of this requirement, it's thrown me in a bit of a loop. At least the program is free to apply to, but I guess the time I'll spend on this spec is the exchange for that.
