Depending on the viewers’ experience or what they’re trying to do, there is a way you can watch the show, and it’s telling you everything that’s going to happen before it happens.
I did try to do this thing this year, and I hope we were successful, where I wanted to be like, ‘No tricks up my sleeve.’
And I wanted to be able to do that to not play any cheap games with the viewer — to respect their attention and their time — but still reward them with revelation and reversal.
Because 2015 and 1990 are happening at the same time as 1980, you’re sort of constantly being told what is going to happen, like all the time.
