The thing about working on a TV show is that it becomes, very quickly, all consuming.

Typically with HBO shows, the ninth episode often winds up being a big one and when lots of exciting stuff happens. And then the tenth one is the more placid, character-based one.

I don't think you can guess what people will really like. You have to come at it from a more natural place and then kind of hope that your taste is shared by enough people to keep going.

One of the things with our show is posing a lot of questions, but getting a lot of answers too.

Everybody is waiting for the end to come, but what if it already passed us by? What if the final joke of Judgment Day was that it had already come and gone and we were none the wiser?

Dead already, wandering around long after the gods have stopped keeping score, still optimistic about the future.
