Taking on warring Texas drug cartels, a female Iraq war vet of color, a teenage hunk from the feed store, and a cattle dog, come to the aid of a neighbor who\'s son has been kidnapped.
Taking on warring Texas drug cartels, two cowgirls, an Iraq vet of color and an ex-NYC fashion model, have 72 hours to save a son from kidnappers.?

First, let me say I’m glad to see you’re using Ink Tip. It’s a fabulous resource. Don’t be confused by the fact that you see a “hit” on a logline, as there is no guarantee it was even read. It may have just come up in a search for “keywords” such as “drug cartel” or “Texas”. That being said, the second logline is a bit better than the first but it still reads a little more messy than it should. I don’t see the need for the “of color” in the logline, even if it does have something to do with the plot. The “hook” seems to be the incongruity of the group. How does this odd-ball group gt thrown together to take on a drug cartel? I would concentrate on that, even leaving the kidnapping story out of the logline.
I’m interested in seeing how this plays out in the best logline it can be!
See lessA retired galactic cop is looking to upgrade his space ship but finds an outpost where everybody but a clumsy noncom and an evil botanist have been wiped out by a poisonous plant.
Sounds like you're describing the first scene as opposed to creating a logline. Picking up a ship part is immaterial to the rest of the main story, I'd imagine.

Sounds like you’re describing the first scene as opposed to creating a logline. Picking up a ship part is immaterial to the rest of the main story, I’d imagine. Concentrate on the elements:
1) The protag- retired galatic cop. Good!
2) The Antag- Not clear; evil botanist? poisonous plant (don’t be the plant, plase!)
3) Protag Goal- has to more than upgrading ship. What was his goal BEFORE running into evil botanist, and what is his goal afterwards?
4) Stakes- wiping out all life throughout our galaxy?
5) Inner conflict- none
6) Outer conflict- avoid being poisoned by plant?
7) Hook- poison plants destroying universe?
8) Genre- Sci-fi/horror? Comedy?
If you answer these essential elements, the logline will practically write itself. Try to keep it under 30 words; 25 is better!
Interesting concept, in any event.

I don't get it. Sorry! It seems a bit nonsensical to me. What am I missing?
