5. As soon as I know anything, you'll know! Maybe you'll know before me. I'm gonna stay optimistic. If it doesn't happen, I guess I'll have to write a novella so you'll have closure. But fingers crossed... let's get some more Countdown.

4. I knew it would be an ominous callback. And show you how evil and scary this guy is.

To use the same scene for Oliveras and the dog, what was your thought process behind it?

3. The hardest was the mall. It was the same time as the LA fires. And then it was so cold that the roof was covered with ice. Not to mention coordinating hundreds of extras. And daylight was at its shortest. And it was windy as hell. The things we do for you! 😀

1. I have too many. The realization that Gallagher was a truck brand and not the name of a suspect made me happy. The safe explosion in the basement. Anything with Meachum and Oliveras. The desert chase. Meachum looking at the plane in the sky and then coming in and seeing his team.

Bonus 2. Looking for different flavors... mainly talking to tech advisors about various task forces and what types of threats/cases they investigate and then choosing a path from there that sounds interesting to me.

How/why did you decide to go from a bomb threat to a sniper for the next villain? 🧐

4. It is fun to see what scenes or lines or twists hit for you guys on here. Always awesome when there's something I think will work and then it lands. I like the buildup to the episodes and I like the recaps. Anyone talking up the show has my thanks!

3. Nothing new to share. I know there are a lot of fans over at Prime who really champion the show so I'm hoping for great news but not sure when the timing will be. Thanks for watching though and tell everyone who has been holding out for binging, now's the time!

2. I'd most relate to Sam Johnson. Just wants to be part of the team but the higher-ups... it's all political... maybe you can put in a good word for me?

1. Since this is my only social media, my perception's based on comments skewed in my favor because you like the show if you're looking here. I see where it falls in the world on Amazon's top 10 each week but that can be apples to oranges. Also, my brother texts me what he likes or doesn't.

pattywinchester.bsky.social @pattywinchester.bsky.social · Aug 31

Loved that episode and can’t wait for the season finale!
My question is: How did you perceive the season from the outside, what other feedback did you get?

It's Sunday and time for five questions in the run up to our big finale. I can't believe it's already here.

Okay... ask your questions and I'll do my best to sort of answer.

derek, you said we'd have anger in the last three episodes (after 11, i've already been able to confirm that), but what i'd really like to know like to know if we'll have something positive about the relationship between mark and amber, or at least something comforting about both.

Okay, give me five questions and I will answer them as best I can.

2. Most sound machines here have a setting for "white noise" which is just like static on a radio. She's joking that what usually comes out of his mouth is a lot of nonsense.

Hello from France! About the porch scene in episode 8 - what does Amber mean when telling Mark ''You are white noise.''?

5. There are so many! There was one that TVline had as a quote of the week and I texted him congratulations. In 108, the lines written were, "I can make ocean noises." "I use white noise." "I can do that." "You are white noise."

So keeping the rhythm "I can make white noise" was all him. 😀

Since we know Jensen is big into adlibbing, what are some of the lines you did not write that ended up in the show?
