Well, yeah, 48 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 3: I guess they kind of they kind of saved me 49 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 3: because I actually do really really love this. 50 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, so it moved slow that it moved really fast. 51 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, then you're there. 52 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Well, what can you tell us about season 53 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: two and what Theo's storyline might entail, because well, THEO 54 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: lost everything at the first season. 55 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 2: Can we expect more dark times? 56 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 3: Possibly? 57 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: This is a job I've tolkien. 58 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 3: Ye, the men of the Southlands don't have it easy. 59 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 3: But yeah, so THEO lost basically everything at the end 60 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 3: of the last season. He's grieving this season. That's That's 61 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 3: a really important thing that I like to point out 62 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 3: is that grief isn't linear, and that's something we like 63 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 3: to explore in this this season and the stages of 64 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 3: grief and he feels guilty and he wants to rectify 65 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 3: things for his people.
