Thanks to Ivan for the heads up.

The TV Junkies: Was it challenging to write an episode involving predicting the future, where every character is second-guessing their own actions?

Joseph Mallozzi: Those types of stories are always tough for a number of reasons. Just from the get go I wanted to introduce the Nyx character heading into Season 2 and I wanted to make her different and special. I wanted her to be tough, but I wanted to make her unique. To be honest, how it came about was that I was inspired by the [Marvel Comics] character of Black Cat who, frankly, I totally misunderstood her power. I assumed she was able to create luck and, rather than a magical ability, it was almost grounded in science. It’s more that you’re playing probability theory rather than predicting the future.

Essentially, you imagine a way, more or less, a situation will unfold, and maybe you’re right seven out of ten times, but you’re more right the majority of the time. If you’re fighting someone, given the way your opponent shifts their body, you can predict if they’re going to lead with a right or a left. That’s her ability, and then her people are on a much grander scale, using chaos theory to predict the future, which is something scientists today have sought to do. On the surface it may seem magical, but there is a real world basis to it, and that’s what we wanted to create. The tough thing with that was trying to make it more real than magical and giving her that power, but not making her too powerful. It’s not so much that she can predict the future, but she can guess a probable outcome. She’s not invulnerable.

TTVJ: To clarify, was Four (Alex Mallari Jr.) the one who Milo predicted would betray the crew, meaning that Milo foresaw his own suicide?

JM: You could interpret it that way. That’s the way members of the cast interpreted it after they watched the episode. One could argue that in this instance he’s not really betraying the new, but he’s betraying Nyx. You could assume that’s what Milo was talking about or maybe there’s someone else who’s going to betray them between now and the end of Season 2. We’ll have to wait and see which one it is.
