ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: This is the only episode in which we see Joes home life in Brooklyn.
Why was it important to establish this side of his story at this point?
Its late in the game.
FRANK SPOTNITZ:Weve had no opportunity to know anything about Joe, right?
Its sort of the nature of his character that youre always trying to guess who he really is.
Juliana thinks she spots Trudy at the market.
First off, was that actress Conor Leslie back in the role to trick us as well?
Yes, we called her back.
So what is the significance of the scene, and what does it mean?
I figure I interpret it in a totally different way from other viewers.
How did you interpret it?
Thats a good interpretation.
And I dont want the science fiction to overshadow the rest of the narrative.
Thats why we got to the Trudy thing relatively late in the season, and why it remains ambiguous.
And do you have a personal interpretation of the scene?
I know exactly what happened, but I cant tell you, because the show hasnt told you yet.
Whats running through Julianas mind, then, when she goes and confirms Trudys dead?
She fully believes what she sees then, right?
Just to clarify, those pits full of bodies include dead Resistance membersandthose who arent deemed worthy of living?
But many other people simply disappeared, and nobody ever understands what happens to them, where they went.
Its sort of like what happened in Argentina in the 1980s.
