I actually like the fact that the ending was more straightforward and âboringâ, to me the show is more of a character study than a murder mystery/thriller. Having huge plot twist ending would be more of a distraction than anything imo.
Oh, definitely. She walked in on several hushed conversations that stopped when she entered. And the dude with the curly hair and mustache, I believe, was upset about what was going to happen - he didnât go on the boat with them and was crying when they left.
Raab: Bob was a big Star Trek fan. I think the Next Generation episode âYesterdayâs Enterpriseâ had a huge impact on the conception of this story. That idea of Tasha Yar getting a second chance. This other new reality is created, and it inspired what we wanted to do with AoA .
Lobdell: Bob and I realized that it was going to be a Legion (the son of Professor Xavier) who would kill the professor, primarily because of his ability to move back through time. Well, why would Legion want to kill the Professor? That didnât make sense to me. It was Mark Waid, I believe, who at that point had been moving his way over into the X office, who suggested, âWhat if he wasnât trying to kill his father, but actually wanted to kill Magneto but the Professor got in the way?â
Thanks. It was one of those things that while watching I seemed to know was the case, but when I thought back about it, I was like âWait, are we sure thatâs true?â Sounds like I just forgot the details.
