I LOVE IT!

Only two things I wonder:

Is there a character journey? “Promising young surgeon” sounds like a flawless character… It may be more interesting if this character has a weakness that makes him/her as the worst possible person for the task.

Following from this: the logline as it is may or may not suggest a dilemma. Is ‘destroying the aristocracy’ a bad thing? This could be a story about the class of the classes and the surgeon may have reasons to allow the aliens to achieve their goal.

This is one of the most exciting loglines I have read recently. But I’d like to hear my colleagues’ feedback, therefore I’ll put it in the category of “Judges”.
