  • A reverse-Zihuatanejo prehistory imagines Bill cleaning up a drinking problem, moving to Dallas and rapidly choosing a stable relationship; a therapist-patient origin is rejected because Melissa is a reproductive therapist.
  • Twisters is the actual sequel; imagined prequels include the shared laboratory and The Extreme’s reckless youth, with Affleck, Ledger and Maguire considered as young Bill.
  • A Melissa-after-Twister television series is imagined around a radio show or sex therapy, escalating into deliberately outrageous scenarios and a brief Dusty fling.
