Loads of work was speaking about that. I feel there’s a pure overlap that occurs, particularly with the second season of a present, that you just’ve bought to maintain [the momentum] going. People have an interest, individuals are watching, and now with Season 2, you actually need to form of take into consideration, not simply what’s Season 2 going to ship in a satisfying method, however how does this arrange Season 3 and past?“

You have to essentially perceive it from him. But at the identical time, it’s a residing factor and you need to form of adapt and alter. We have to return and revisit, pivot, rewrite, and be sure that not solely does it make sense from a science-fiction place, however that emotional journeys are all monitoring and connecting to the cool stuff in a method that makes natural sense.“
