12.5.24

It started with a map of the five boroughs.

After spending one season crossing the country and a second season circling the continents, it felt right to zero in on just one city for Season Three. And the show had not yet traveled to the greatest city in the world …

But how to structure it?  How to keep us moving around the city in a mystery that would blow up bigtime in the finale?

I printed out a map, I wondered if it would be possible to draw a circle that would include all five boroughs.  But Staten Island fouled up that plan.

Then I thought hmmm – why not start the season in Staten Island, and then create a circle around the more, well, “concentric” boroughs?  And if I could find ten equally spaced “nodes” on that circle, that would be eleven episodes –

And then the finale could be the center of the circle, a bullseye at which everything had been aimed.

I cut out a circle and moved it around the map.  I knew I was onto something when I realized that the edge of the circle could touch some key locations like JFK Airport, Hell’s Kitchen, Yankee Stadium, and Flatbush.  And the locations that weren’t quite as famous, like Throgs Neck or Mau Mau Island?  They’d only add to the mystery –

And I knew that Kew Gardens is regarded with a certain charm, it has a distinct quaint mystique.  Where better to discover that the universe might just be ending?

And with it, Season Three.  Where do you think things go from here?  What would you like to see in Season Four?  Write us through the contact link on this website and let us know!  This blog will slow down to intermittent entries until we start ramping up another season, so there’ll be plenty of time to read and muse upon your comments.  Don’t delay, write today – the fate of all creation may depend on it!
