GM: It didn't really influence how we wrote Season 2, but certain aspects certainly inspired us. The Cophine relationship, we really loved anyway and to see it get that much support and to see that people thought that it was an important relationship to be on TV made us want to continue it and bolster it. And yeah, why the hell is that? Why do lesbian characters always die in TV? RIP Tara.

JF: She's not okay at all. GM: But she's still the hot clone.

JF: We're putting together a blooper reel. GM: I saw some bloopers just the other day and I peed my pants. I literally peed my pants. Pee came out and went in my pants. JF: Ew.

GM: It wasn't a decision to make Cosima gay as much as it was a decision to have a spectrum of sexuality and gender represented in the show. And then to not sing about it or make the sexuality of the characters their main problem, just to let them be. In the context of a show that's sort of a biological mystery, their sexuality isn't any more or less important than the colour of their eyes.

1. JF: The casting process was long and arduous. Graeme and I both knew Tatiana from previous projects and felt she was a strong contender early on. Through the casting process it became very clear that she was annihilating all the competition. GM: And then there was a moment when we paired her with Jordan in a chemistry read for the network and from that point on it was unanimous that both of them were cast.

2. GM: Yes we have a good idea. But it's loose and flexible. JF: However we have an end game. We know what end we're working towards.
