Justin and Jen are one of my favorite relationships, both to write and to hear acted out by On and Danielle. Have you ever had actors that were born to play socialites? Because On and Danielle were born to get a chance to talk down their nose at the people around them. But this [...]
As deeply as I love Harrison, I constantly find myself asking how she has managed to survive as long as she has. By the end of this episode, I think it’s the first time that Harrison truly understands the danger she’s put herself in, but doesn’t see an out at this point. She’s in [...]
There’s a lot I could talk about in this episode, but what I really want to dig into is that AA meeting. We spent a little bit of time last season tearing apart what kind of affect Anika’s actions might have had on the people around her. Going through Sean and Heather’s story, slowly [...]
Last season, a big part of exploring Anika’s present was about exploring her past. We did so through her lens, literally only getting a peak into past events through her own narrative. Anika’s past was all about the stories she chose to tell Sean and Harrison, and the way she chose to tell them. [...]
Oh man, oh man, today is all about powers and their scope. I know he comes off gruff. I know he’s a bit of a mess. But I hope that at the end of this, I hope we all understand a little bit more of why. One of my favorite behind-the-scenes aspects of this [...]
Oh boy oh boy I love these heroes so much and I love that we finally get to properly get to know everyone. First of all: Hello, Lyssa! Aiden is one of my favorite characters to write for, and it was so fun to dig into his past, the people in it, and how [...]
One of the things I am so excited to explore this season is the relationship between Anika and Harrison. Anika, for once, is actually starting to sound like a villain. With Bailey missing, she’s unanchored and terrified, but for the first time, she’s also angry. As she pushes through chaos, without someone to calm [...]
So, you call these heroes? I am so excited about diving into season 2, even though it might seem like we’re taking a sharp left turn in the narrative. We’re refocusing a little bit, turning the lens (or microphone, I should say) on the other side of this story. While we all know and [...]
Whoa boy it’s the season one finale! You guys don’t mind a cliffhanger, do you? Honestly, this episode was so fun to record, but such a challenge in so many ways. Getting action sequences down can be a struggle when you can’t see anything happening, but there was no world where the “heroes” of our [...]
Ahem. This episode title was not intended to be named after a Harry Styles song, but here we are. What can you do about it now? This is, obviously, the hardest episode so far. But it was so nice to finally get to the root of Heather, someone who I think we don’t really get [...]
