That does sound true.
@derekhaaswriter.bsky.social Is it true there will be a screening of the last episode of Countdown and a live Q and A with you and several actors?

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?

4. Don't be too hard on Amina. Teachers in Los Angeles are really adept at laying the guilt trip on parents! (Just kidding teachers... you guys are great. And who knew it was gonna be a bad day for poetry in the park?)
Families of the team aren’t even safe are they?

3. They very well might have! Crossover?
Jay Halstead and Mark Meachum were I the same Army unit. Do you think they served at the same time?

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.''?

It's Wednesday. These two didn't go through all that training for you not to tune in to this week's Countdown.
If you watch this anxiety-inducing episode 9, then I will answer five questions on Sunday.
Don't do it for me. Do it for Meachum and Oliveras.

I have been friends with Craig and John for over 20 years. Craig has multiple Emmys for writing Chernobyl and John has an Oscar nomination for writing Flight. I said, "You know what'll beat that? Guest starring in Countdown with Jensen and Jessica." Boom.

1. Great question. I would love to say I know... but sometimes the cast picks things they like for their character... type of watch or ring, firearm, etc., and I like to incorporate what they choose. I'll ask and get back to you.
Hello Derek! LOVE the show. Can't wait for next Wednesday!
In Episode 3 (bathroom scene), what's on Mark's pendant? Is it Saint Michael, the patron saint of police?

2. That's two questions! a) Mark's fight was on the first day of filming. It was 114 degrees. It was probably 85 percent Jensen and 15 percent stunt double. It's hard to keep Jensen from doing his own fights/stunts.
b) I told everyone "shhhhhhh" and gave them the death stare.

Mark’s fight scene in the prison - how much of it was Jensen vs stunt double?
And how did you manage to keep Milo a secret???

3. A task force has no minimums nor limits, so I thought it would be cool to contract or expand the team as the case progresses. Seven seemed like the right number to launch because that's a lucky number. (Except in the case of episode 7... for some characters.)
How did you decide the appropriate number of people to be on the task force? Too many and they don’t get a decent storyline, too little and it loses the team dynamic

And are there any other delicious cameos that you can tease us with?

For your reward waiting this long, here is a photo from the read-through last September when we all barely knew each other.
