00:00we've had, you know, the big difference obviously between this season and the network show is that
00:05we've got more time. And so there's just the opportunity for things like silence,
00:11for, you know, like longer emotional beats. It's just, we just got an opportunity to tell
00:16a more robust layered story than we could when we had 42 minutes and, you know, got to get those
00:20commercial breaks in. And in fact, you know, as directors and, you know, AJ can speak to this,
00:25you know, it was very much like when, you know, anything you did put in the old show,
00:32it would get lifted out, you know, any moments of silence. And now I remember being like,
00:37do we have to turn these episodes into a certain time? Like, no, just turn in the
00:41length that you want. I mean, it's like, it's dazzling to be able to tell the story you want
00:46and have the time to do it. And so the serialization has just given us an opportunity
00:51to tell better, more complex, more fully realized stories. And you're going to see
00:57just really incredible acting from people this season because we're able to give them more to do.
01:06There's a scene in this season where Joe just, I mean, everybody burst into applause on set
01:11at the end of it because he was just doing incredible work. And it's just something we
01:15didn't have a shot at doing when we really, really had to like get the story done, monster
01:18of the week, chase it down, boom, boom, break down the door, you know, pew.
01:25So yeah, it's been really, really gratifying, I think, to be a part of.
