Graham, this season is great all around, but I was unprepared to be so captivated by the
Before Time's origin story. I need like a- I agree, right?
What the hell? I didn't want to go back to 18. I was like, go out again.
How challenging and fulfilling was it for you to not only expand Silo's world
by constructing this new timeline, but having this whole new cast?
We got to tell another love story. Yeah.
I mean, that's a big part of it. And Ash and Jess just were-
I remember watching stuff in like the second or third episode, second or third episode,
and going, I'm not really feeling this chemistry that I was hoping for.
And then I realized, oh, they're just doing their job.
They're not- if you want a love story, you have to want them to be together.
And then there's a moment in the fourth episode where, you know,
he makes a joke about her name being like Nancy Drew.
And she says, yeah, say it again. See what happens.
I'll kill you in your sleep. And I was like, and we're in.
You're good at this, Nancy Drew.
No, no, don't call me that.
They call you that at school. It's a sore point.
Call me that again. Find out. I'll kill you. I'll kill you in your sleep.
I say this is my- the biggest compliment I can make to anyone is you're really good at your job.
And, you know, they're really good at their job. So are you.
And, you know, it's fun to work with that environment.
But it was also fun for us as writers to construct that story.
