I have to tell you I totally binge through this whole thing it's just I get so caught up in it I just have to keep watching and watching it's one of those shows yeah the humanity is issues that you guys are dealing with are so intense I mean your scene with the hangar Bay Beau it's heartbreaking I can't watch it like I'm it chokes me up a bit it's really hard to shoot how do you get into that frame of mind when you're trying to pull off a scene like that CU that's intense I mean I'm one of those people I I'm an actress that uses my IM ation a lot but to be honest with what's been happening in the world especially with with the refugee crisis how it was it's been so so much in the news so heavily featured it it kind of was um I felt like I was going through some some kind of version of it um it I don't know it was just heart it was heartbreaking in the moment and everyone was in it and it it didn't take much for me to so so you're actually pulling from right now live stuff to actually put it in the SciFi which is easy reference it's just watching people go through what maybe those people are actually going through in real life is just it shows how current your show is and that's what I mean we address a lot of issues that are and um it was a devastating scene to shoot but I'm I'm glad it turned out the way it did and a lot of people have been affected by it so yeah it it does really stand out I think that's really kind of the the greatest benefit of Science Fiction is is using these kind of different eras and names as an allegory to what we're experiencing today so it allows it to be a bit more digestible to people out there um where we could talk about things like refugees and um nationalism and things like that and yet we also have a dangerous weapon that's out there yes that two of the two of the I was thinking something blue and not so Orange right colors though to different color a different color same level of dang I I I totally can't argue with that I totally can't argue with that so just since we're laughing here I totally have to go the four of you in a ship together we make you Han Solo we make you Princess Leah so who's the W oh boy like it would have to be Amos wouldn't it I mean maybe you should ask them that I'm happy I'm princess Le there you go for sure thank you guys so much for coming out and talking to us we really appreciate it thank you one they put you in the most beautiful dresses and then they make you say the best lines ever by cursing like a sailor amazing writers I almost lost it when you said I get D exactly exact and and truly from the bottom of my heart it was both of us abasa and I saying that cuz Senator gz asked me as to why I am notun running for government I'm not running and I say Sir because I like to get done and I I I really meant it at that moment and I really mean it now that I'm saying it and and they take you from putting you in a whole armor where they could barely see you I mean what was what was it I think it was six or so episodes where all we saw was you and this and and your you're always pull back and then at the end when you defect you're stunning you're you're there looking at the ocean at the water I mean what is it like playing her character because it's just it's such a great character oh so great and I think you know she's she's really special she's not one-dimensional in any way she's she's got layer after layer after layer and and as I go through the scripts and play her the more I the the more depth that I that I figure out with with her and and the things like the ocean and um you know seeking asylum on Earth that those were big moments for her that's not what how she thought her future was going to be and I think those moment really she grew from those moments and I think um I think you saw a different woman at the end of of season 2 than you did at the beginning I I have to admit there was that moment in the ship where you guys were trapped yes and all I kept thinking was I I I felt like if I was on that ship I'd be in real big trouble because you can kick butt and and and between the two of you I think I'd be in really bad shape I seriously oh no week short would take care of you we only go for the bad guys the bad guys so I'm I'm in good shape we love we love good guys so so I heard there's not much filmed yet but but what would you like to see out of the next season because you guys deal with a lot of humanitarian issues that kind of flash to what's going on today absolutely although it's a so-called science fiction but it relatively speaks for today although we're in 200 years supposedly from now but we are still human we have not been digitized and the story is becoming more and more Shakespearean at this point with all the ingredients of Shakespeare's plays in them Envy jealousy uh betrayal conspiracy theory so it's getting more and more deep not necessarily dark but deep uh in in in the relationship between these characters in the universe to get a little bit of business done first because we were talking to stepen and Dominique and we were saying that if he's Han Solo and she's Princess Leah which one is the wiie and and they told me that you guys had to fight it out first of all who made hold in Han Solo wait the second Han Solo's the pilot no no no no no no I could have sworn Han Solo was the pilot the badass swashbuckle and pilot of the Millennium Falcon see see I knew we were going to have this fight out so so who are we going to who are you guys going to settle out cu the I'm I'm going to be goddamn Yoda that's who I'm going to be I'm bu f okay we're totally we're totally rearranging the whole thing I I think I'm stuck being C3PO in the backround I'm the one that gets to take care of all the order stuff and be proper so so tell me what's going on with the expansive season for your characters I know you didn't get to do much yet but where where are you seeing things going um I think I think uh season 3 is all about uh at least when it starts it kicks off with how each of us individually responds and reacts to this bomb this emotional bomb that is dropped on the Rossy crew with the revelation of what Naomi did what she tells holding at the end of season one uh season two so um that is going to be basically the the kickoff Point not to mention the fact that Earth and Mars are about to go to war so we have an incredibly huge um like reality out there uh that's incredibly volatile and within our family the reality is incredibly volatile and basically all the security that we've created has now been been shattered so how do we recover and move forward through that we'll see well you guys have each on a different level have all had your own personal demons and things to struggle through and and you went really kind of Rogue there for a little bit there you had a few real crazy scenes there so so what has it been like playing this character um it it's been incred I mean it's it's been this is one of the most fascinating and intriguing characters I've ever had the privilege of playing and uh and you know was what happened what he was talking about in season to the Betrayal of Naomi I mean that's that's amos's moral Foundation that just got exploded so you get this season you're really going to see who Amos is without the influence of Naomi so even more into the chaotic side well we really appreciate you guys coming out to talk to us we know you guys got places to go and things to do yeah thank you so much and we look forward to seeing the next season we do [Music] to
