      That’s probably why the patent was so wrong to get. But it just still doesn’t fit anywhere so stealing intellectual property then would make it nine sins, a lawyer’s worst nightmare - not to talk about nin9, that is a title that completely lack the “oh, it’s that word but they changed a letter”-ring to it, and then there’s the runtime to manage here, and who do the killer slay that breaks the copyright sin, now you gotta find an actor that looks like Edward Snowden and the whole thing may even provoke a trilogy type of sequel which begs the question how do we number these - roman numerals are not easily kerning with compound numerical titles that’s already a mess - and who is to say all this legal jousting doesn’t spawn a whole new set of sins, perhaps you are even compelled to if it turns out to be a box office success - and now you have to do all that without turning to drugs while juggling how to cram “what’s in the box?” into a Christmas special loosely based on the cast of tw3lv12e, the anthology musical that Broadway probably loved but critics are, of course most likely to call homophobic due to the legal / theological battles you are now fighting after having in desperation had one webisode introduce the sin of lesbian mixed martial arts doping or something as the writers are bound to cross the cross somewhere and that’s going to be a real pita as the concepts collide? (I am very not sure that sentence should end with a question mark but at this point it could require the invention of a new type of punctuation)
