God, what a good concept. I’m picturing Haymitch slamming back a glass of whiskey after each shot of a mentee being lost, the bang of the glass on the table leading straight into an explosion that takes his mentee from him, and their bodies falling leading again into him picking up his glass once more, this time with more liquor in it- until the end of the scene where’s he’s discarded the glass entirely and just swigs straight from the bottle.

This is a really cool concept! I would love to see flashbacks to his games and what it was like during the Capitol around the 50th games too.

One scene should have one of his mentees really close to winning, like final 2, but then they lose and die

I loved your narration, but the theme of the 5th installment is propaganda and how easily the majority of population is governed and controlled by a few with power. Your synopsis is off. Also, Haymitch was inspired to really help Katniss and Peeta once they were on the train where Katniss threw a knife to stop Haytch hand and landed it between his fingers. That's when he saw there was fire in them and decided to play along to help them in the arena.
