And it spins Billy off onto this track of following Autumn who has become more and more this messianic figure for him that is guiding him as this shepherd in the night, as she says. Billy is really close to Wayne and him seeing Luke do that complicates their relationship. And then of course it leads to a split in his relationship with Billy. Exploring questions of why that is was one big aim for the scene when Luke tries to smother him. Throughout the course of the season, we see Luke try to not become his father, but invariably become more and more like his father. Luke trying to kill Wayne was a narrative strand that we wanted to follow –this theme of the sins of the father are visited upon the sons. Two big things happen when Wayne is in this catatonic state: Luke tries to kill him and Billy feeds him the crushed-up rock, seemingly in an attempt to revive him. You have to tell the stories you’ve got to tell you know, but Will understood what we were after and was game for it. Given what a brilliant actor he is, I would truly write anything and everything for him. Was there any trepidation about taking him off the board before the big finale? And then that traveled, like you say, into five. These are two men, one from a traditional background, and one from a deeply capitalistic profiteering background, and pitting them against each other, not just in the, in the past, but in the present, felt like a fun challenge to write, as their collision course came to a head at the end of episode four. I think the Wayne/Royal standoff was always one of the more thrilling relationships to dive into whatever way we could. Was this one of the things that everyone agreed had to be addressed by the end of season 1? One of the things we see is that he was at the hole when a boy, about his age, crawls out. ‘Outer Range’ Creator Answers Burning Questions About Episodes 1 and 2 So Royal is now thrust into this place of needing to put together pieces of both the future and the past to figure out what he must do in the present. If you go back to the end of episode two, we experience images of the doctor there, we see BY9 on these derricks that are drilling into the land. I think the point of it was, this is a man on a quest and he’s now off to the exotic reaches of Laramie, and the fun behind that rather local search to figure out where is Autumn from, who is this woman, but also this card that he found at the Tillerson house that references Dr. That’s one of my favorite films and to pepper in a little bit of tradecraft into this episode was a fun challenge and something fun to do with Royal.

I like that you took away “All the President’s Men” from that sequence. And it’s not just funny but actually ends up paying off.

Let’s discuss one of my favorite sequences from the final run of episodes – Royal’s “All the President’s Men” routine of looking for information about By9 and the oil companies. It really comes to a head at the end of five with Royal seeing that Autumn and his wife Cecilia are linked in the process of his death. So that’s been a really wonderful, fun narrative track for us to follow throughout these first eight episodes. Well, what I’ll say is that we were all really intrigued by the idea of a journey that starts with a man that knows he’s going to die and thus must prevent a future that includes that. Yep, it's all as weird as it sounds.Well, is this something that you will be exploring perhaps from a different angle or in more depth, should the show continue? The conclusion sees Rick drooling and rambling over Morty, who is cringing on the floor as the effects of an oversized alien seed begin to affect him. Meanwhile, Jerry tries to convince Beth to put Rick in an old people's home. Later, after a look into Morty's inappropriate fantasies, a Rick and Morty adventure to some lurid alien plane ensues. Pilot begins with a pre-credits sequence in which Rick is about to destroy the planet with a nuclear bomb (the voice acting is at its worst here), only to reveal it was a test for Morty. In fact, the styles of writing, artwork, and voice-acting in this half-baked episode are all outlandish to most fans. More so than any other episode in the season, it is plain to see that the creators were still figuring out what to do with the characters and the concepts. Even though the show is aimed at young adults, the level of obscenity here is unnecessary and off-putting.
