Hi Greg, Just one simple question that I don't think you've answered thus far: Did you have a clear idea of where the series was going when you first "Awakening," "Deadly Force," "The Edge," and other such early episodes? I mean, I'm sure you didn't know that Owen was going to be Puck from the get-go! =) And what about the archmage? Were you planning on him still being alive? Lastly, the eggs that Princess Katherine brought to her uncle's. Did you have the plan that those eggs were going to survive?
Thanks for your time!

I had a clear idea of where I wanted the first season to go in those early episodes. I also had definite plans for what would later become "Upgrade", "Metamorphosis", "The Cage" and "Kingdom" as early as "Thrill of the Hunt" and "Brother's Keeper". I knew the eggs were going to survive from before the scripts for "Awakening" were completed. I knew we'd bring back the Archmage from the moment I heard David Warner do his voice at the recording session for "Long Way to Morning". I knew that Owen had a story behind his service to Xanatos. I obviously knew that Macbeth and Demona were connected as early as "Enter Macbeth". But many of the BIG PLANS came to us during the break between the first and second season. It all seemed to come together rather quickly though. Like we HAD planned everything from day one. Everything seemed to fit and make sense (to me at least).
