Interview talk:R.D. Hall

Interview with R.D. Hall

I will be interviewing R.D. Hall on Tuesday, April 8. R.D. wrote Hana and Drucker's Plot Discovered, The End of Hana and Drucker, Bounty Hunter, and the last graphic novel in the Linda Tavara set. Feel free to post any questions you'd like me to ask R.D. below, and I'll see which ones I can work into the interview. Thanks! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:50, 18 March 2008 (EDT)

• I think we're all on the same page, but I just want to be explicitly clear. To avoid spoilers, any questions about R.D.'s future graphic novels should wait until after they are released. That's why I arranged the interview for April 8. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 11:28, 19 March 2008 (EDT)

Questions for R.D.

General

• How did you come about working for Heroes, and getting to write the GNs?--SacValleyDweller (talk) 23:40, 18 March 2008 (EDT)
• Where you a viewer/fan of Heroes before you wrote the graphic novels?--Citizen 20:14, 19 March 2008 (EDT)

Hana and Drucker storyline

• Are we going to see Drucker and Hana again?
• When was the story set in?
• Did Bob get the data he wants in the end?
• How did the doctors get the data from Matt's brain? 23:29, 18 March 2008 (EDT)
• You did quite a bit of research about mind uploading. Can you tell us about what you learned and how it influenced your writing?
• What kind of direction did NBC give you--did they say "kill Hana and Drucker" or did they give you all the details or was it somewhere in between?
• Can you confirm that the 3-d glasses/goggles Elle gives Matt Neuenberg to wear are a reference to Tron?
• Did Hana supposedly go to Bhutan before entering the Company's mainframe? In other words, I mean, why wouldn't the Company have discovered Hana's transmission (from New Orleans)?
• Is Matt dead or is he going to survive like Hana Gitelman and Richard Drucker?
• The message from NBC "The real Richard Drucker died in a plane crash years ago" would mean that he went through the gate of dead when he was landing, was that already landing in cyber space? (--Juba 07:53, 26 March 2008 (EDT))

Linda Tavara storyline

• Is Linda's death a final one?
  • Has she absorbed regeneration from some one?
    • is there a possiblity that she could make an apperance in the show?--Anthony Gooch 22:41, 27 March 2008 (EDT)

Graphic Novel:Bounty Hunter

• In the script, you specified in captions several times the number of weeks that had gone by. It was great to get a time-reference like that, but it is unclear as to what "later" meant. In other words, was the scene at the bar four weeks after Linda met Pamela or four weeks after Linda met her informant (the mystery woman) for the first time?
• When Linda was on the pay phone in the bar, the script makes it clear that it is Linda talking to her informant. But from the dialogue alone, it is possible to think that Linda was talking with the manager of another facility whose waitress claimed Jason Welkes had quit three weeks ago. Is that something you could have clarified for the lettering people (Comicraft)? On 9th Wonders, it was mentioned that you didn't have any contact with the artist until after the work was published. Have you had any contact with the people involved in the lettering process with this or any of your other novels?
• The script for Bounty Hunter is now on a post at 9th Wonders. But since 9th Wonders is a message board, the message may eventually expire. Would you give permission to archive your script here at Heroes Wiki?
• Is Pamela meant to be Pam Green from Chandra's list?
• What about Linda's power? And why did mentioning the police immediately send her what appeared to be into depression and defeat by her employer?
• What can you tell us about the mechanic, Pamela and Jason Welkes's ability?
