Did not see that coming with Red Night.. Yeah, the main point of her was to show how desperate Simon was to break out. Especially because the whole love story thing was just manipulated by him. |

And I do have plans for a Season 2, although I'm not completely sure if I want to go through with it yet because series aren't really that popular. But if I do do it it will be after I host The Reckoning of Omega in January. I'll make sure to release some trivia for season 1 later though.  |

Here's some trivia stuff as promised. The “Scar of the Law” is Simon. Even though it may have been interpreted as the Black Scar Gang, Simon was the one who was scarred by the Law Enforcers. In the weather channel scene in the very beginning of the first episode, the forecaster says the last few days have been sunny but cloudy days are coming up. This is meant to foreshadow how everything is good for Simon now but his life’s about to take a bad turn. The poison Red Death tries to inject Simon with was provided by the “Veylos Organization”. If Season 2 is released, the Veylos Organization will appear then. Director Monn, while being arrogant and reckless at times, did have good reason to do the things he did. He wasn't able to see everything that had happened to Simon in the end though. The prisoners were all supposed to originally die in episode 5, originally titled “Prison Break”. They were expanded into episode 6 because I didn’t want to rush their deaths and I thought they needed some more time. The whole story involving Red Night was supposed to be the after effect of what happened to Simon in Track Down. After witnessing the deaths of the prisoners and his brother, Simon is nothing now. He manipulated the entire love story with Red Night from the beginning and did not care what happened to her. He saw her the same as any other gang member. Red Eye is the only member of the Black Scar Gang to survive. While he ran off in episode 8, the other gang members were shot down by the Law Enforcers. Simon killing Red Death while on the throne is supposed to mirror Red Death killing Max and Quan while on the throne. Even though Simon murdered several people, they were all still fairly justified (with the exception of Red Night). The main point of Season 1 was to show Simon’s transformation from a good, honorable man into nothing. Now that he’s lost everything and is on the run, Season 2 will show what he does next and how he changes from here. I'd like to do a Season 2 and it's all already planned out (it has been for a while). I'll think about it. I really like doing this series and I really want to continue the story from here. |

Pretty cool trivia bit, Potato. I like that there's like some meaning behind some of the things we saw

I hadn't had time yet to watch this, so I am watching right now. I'm on Episode 3. But I'm just thinking the Law Enforcers shouldn't be making it public that they want spies.  |

It's Frank!  LOL, but nice conclusion Potato. It was cool. And I definitely think a season 2 would work. Maybe one with that drug company and Red Eye as the villains, Simon as third party, and the Law Enforcers and some new good guys. Idk, your probably got better ideas. |

The Reckoning of Omega will most likely be done before the end of January, but then I need to film all of Season 2 (which will be longer than Season 1). |

I also voted Prisoners as my favorite episode because it was the last real episode with Simon being a good guy. After that, he slowly falls...
I also liked the diversity of characters.

Who was your favorite character? Oh... hmm, I'm not totally sure. There weren't a whole lot of characters in this first season because the main focus was Simon (and they all end up being killed off anyway). Showing's Simon change over time was fun for me to do and I liked all the scenes with Red Death. The prisoners played a minor role but I liked all of them too, especially Ben, Chun, and Wontonalompa. |

I just watched it all, and let me just say that it was truly fantastic. Honestly, it puts me to shame. I thought this would be a predictable story about a kid being promoted but damn that was good.

Wow, thanks, Spider! Especially because you watched all 8 episodes at once, that must have taken a while. |

I'm still not really sure though one the message of this story is since everyone was evil or mean except Quan. |

I'm still not really sure though one the message of this story is since everyone was evil or mean except Quan. It wasn't entirely a message I guess, more of to show how Simon went from a good guy into almost a bad guy. Season 2 will show more of that and will eventually sort of change the point of view of everything too. |

So you use a piece of paper for the back ground?

So you use a piece of paper for the back ground? Yep, pretty much. It's a lot easier for me than just building walls all around the set, and when you have a lot of bricks together they cause reflections of other stuff on the table where I take the pictures so it makes everything look messy. And I've never really been the best with settings. |

And I've never really been the best with settings. That's a actually a good idea. When I took pictures with for a part of my prologue, it glared a lot so most of the pics came out darker than intended. But then there were a few that came out brighter so it looked kinda weird... And yeah, paper is easier. |

Season 2 will most likely start very soon. Filming has already began. Here's a basic description of season 2 I just threw together now: "Now on the run as a criminal wanted for murder, Simon must evade the Law Enforcers and move on with his life as he prepares to make his next move. But Simon quickly learns that a life of a criminal is not a good one, despite it being the only option he has left." |

I just finished taking the pictures for episode 1. It's 145 pictures, so that will probably be the rough length of every episode this season (where last season was about 110 pics per episode). This season will also have ten episode as opposed to eight, so it's definitely going to be longer. And the quality's increased dramatically since I got a new camera since season 1 aired. So there's a lot to look forward to. And as another bit of information for season 2, since just about every main character except for Simon got killed off last season, this new season will introduce lots of new characters. It will also delve more into the criminal world of Lom IV (the planet where this all takes place), and it will show that there's even bigger threats than the Black Scar Gang. |
