There are still a lot of things to learn. It’s really, really important that you come with me.” That’s not said lightly. It’s no mistake that George Jones said to Finola, “There are things about this debris, you have no idea, and there are things you need to know. At the end of the season, I knew what was going to happen and I chose to tell it in this way because this will give you the foot in, to come into Season 2 and realize that things are maybe a lot different than they seem. I knew and I know where the story’s going, and I felt that this was the proper way to dole out the information. WYMAN: I’m telling the story that I want to tell. What was your process for deciding where to end the season, how much to reveal, how much not to reveal, and what new questions you wanted to ask? You feel like you want to be pushed into the next chapter with all of the possibilities and wonderment possible. Then, I find them more like, “Oh, I can’t wait to come back.” I want to get the feeling like you’re about to catch a train and you’re reading this great book, and you have to stop reading and get up and get onto the train, and you wish you didn’t have to stop reading right now, and you can’t wait to get home and pick up that book again. Unless they blow my mind and make me feel like, “Oh, my God, what does this mean?”, then I don’t find them frustrating. WYMAN: I don’t like ones where people don’t have answers. How do you personally feel about cliffhangers? Do you like them, or do you find them frustrating? How do you react to them when you’re watching a show? From my perspective, it was a great way to give it a last few paragraphs at the end of a chapter and begin another one. So, there’s another leg of the journey in the odyssey that we’re about to serve and turn the page on the chapter. Somehow and some way, this ball of light understands who he is and it goes to him, and he’s anticipating it and waiting, and brought it to where Brill is and where Finola is. And then, in Episode 13, we realized why and we get that answer. We have Dakheya, who first appeared in Episode 11, when he took his place in the Arizona desert, for reasons we didn’t understand. It’s very crucial to Season 2, that discovery and that revelation. I think it’s a healthy question to leave people with, as far as how is that possible that she’s in two places at the same time? What does that mean? Does that mean she’s a clone? Does that mean she’s from another reality? Whatever it is, I want people to keep guessing and anticipate coming back for those answers. You’ll go back and recontextualize everything you’ve seen before it.
It’s no mistake that Brill’s last line is, “Okay, let’s begin.” Now, the doors will be blown off the series and now everything is going to expand. For some reason, he has access to this version of Finola in suspensia. He may play a little bit of a bigger part, in his knowledge of what’s happening. What you should know about that is, number one, Brill is much, much, much more knowledgeable about things than obviously we first thought. WYMAN: We find Finola, or a version of Finola, in suspensia. WYMAN: I can’t give you too many secrets.Ĭan you talk a bit about the final moment of the season and what exactly is happening in that cave? What can you tease about what all of that means? Wyman ( Fringe, Almost Human) who talked about that final scene, figuring out how much of the story to tell this season, allowing time for world building, how closely he held to his season plan, lining up new characters, what Season 2 would look like, and how he would feel if this is where the story ends.Ĭollider: Please explain this finale to me. To discuss all of the twists and turns of Episode 113, “Celestial Body,” and what that will unlock for the next chapter of Debris, Collider got on the phone with show creator J.H. As Agents Bryan Beneventi ( Jonathan Tucker) and Finola Jones ( Riann Steele) realized that there was so much more going on with the scattered wreckage from a destroyed alien spacecraft that has been strewn across the Western Hemisphere, their lives were changed forever, leaving them to wonder if there’s anyone they can trust apart from each other. All of the events throughout the first season of the NBC series Debris have been leading up to the revelations of the finale, blowing the possibilities wide open for where things could go next.
