Interview talk:Destiny

Destiny Interview

Hey everybody! I recently contacted Adam Armus and Kay Foster about conducting a brief interview about the webisode series they wrote, Destiny. I'll be emailing them questions, and I'd like to send them out by Friday (12/12) evening. Feel free to submit any questions you'd like below. I'll be choosing about 5 to 8 of the most probing, most open-ended questions. Thanks! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 13:03, 11 December 2008 (EST)

• Can we assume the questions should be only about Destiny?--MiamiVolts (talk) 15:06, 11 December 2008 (EST)
  • Pretty much. I think it makes for a better interview if the questions are a little more focused. Adam and Kay are being very generous to take some time to answer some questions now, so I'll respect that by only sending in a handful of questions. It'd probably be best if they were all about Destiny. Thanks! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:31, 11 December 2008 (EST)

Destiny Questions

• Can you tell us more about Edward's ability? What do you call what Edward uses to electrocute the serious looking woman with? Is that something Santiago should be able to do as well using accelerated probability?
• What challenges did you face in crafting a story about a character that was created by thousands of fans?
  • This isn't a bad question, but just pointing out for Ryan's benefit that the writers talk about this in the first behind the scenes video.--MiamiVolts (talk) 15:55, 11 December 2008 (EST)
    • Heh. I added this question to sort of get the ball rolling. :) I actually have no plans in asking it for the exact reason you listed. But I also didn't want anybody to be offended if I didn't ask "their" question. That way I'm just cutting my own question out. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:56, 11 December 2008 (EST)
• Will we ever see any of these characters again?
  • Expanded: Destiny was called a Micro Series on NBC's website. Should we consider Destiny a separate universe from the one that Heroes exists in, complete with its own rules for abilities and its own set of characters? Are there any plans for a continuing story related to any of the Destiny characters in another webisode, episode or graphic novel? Is it possible any of the normal Heroes characters and Destiny characters might interact in some future story? Were there any cut scenes that you can tell us about?
• What can you tell us about the serious looking woman, is she from Primatech and what are her origins? Or will we learn this?
  • Expanded: Is "SLW" the serious looking woman's codename in her organization? Also, was her name meant to mirror the name HRG applied to Noah Bennet? Can you tell us anything else about her character, such as her origins? Does she have a family like Noah?
  • You already mentioned that the serious looking woman was from a new organization--that means not Primatech or Pinehearst, right? Can you tell us anything else about her organization?
• What is the meaning of the key the serious looking woman carries with her? Is the key what allowed her to survive Edward's attack on her?
• I loved Homecoming and Our Father. How was it writing these great episodes? And have you written any stories in volume 4 yet?
  • I'm only sending in a handful of questions. I might ask Adam and Kay something like "What's next for you two?", but I'm really going to focus just on Destiny. Thanks! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:29, 11 December 2008 (EST)
• What is the extent of Elisa's water mimicry? When she kissed Santiago after his soccer game, did Elisa rematerialize the syringe into her hand or was she keeping it somewhere hidden strapped to her body (instead of inside her body)? Did Elisa travel into Santiago's shower through the showerhead? Has she ever tried dematerializing / rematerializing other people; and, if so, to what extent was she successful?
• Are there any references to or elements from your earlier works that you included in Destiny? Also, speaking of elements, you wrote in powers of fire, water and electricity/air into the webisode. Were they intentionally chosen for any parallels in the story? Any chance the hitman was meant to demonstrate an earth element ability (perhaps plant manipulation)? Then, you would have closely paralleled the principal Greek classical elements (fire, water, air and earth).
  • Love, referred to as another element in the film, The Fifth Element, seemed to be a common theme in Destiny as well. Was it just Edward's love for his wife and son that brought him back to safeguard them, or does Edward have other reasons for returning?
• Is there any specific point you tried to pass through Destiny? Is there a real importance to the show's mythology in those episodes? Obi-Dan Kenobi 17:14, 11 December 2008 (EST)
• Where does Destiny fit in the show's main timeline? More specifically, in between what seasons do the events in the webisodes occur?
• Did you decide to write the webisodes, or did NBC reach out to you with a story?
• How/why did you decide that accelerated probability would have by-products such as speed and lightning? - Tristan0709 20:32, 11 December 2008 (EST)
• Did the SLW work for The Company or another organisation? - Tristan0709 20:32, 11 December 2008 (EST)
• Does SLW have a power? If so, what is it? Raiku 00:01, 12 December 2008 (EST)
• Will Santiago appear at all in volume 4?
• Will any of the characters featured in Heroes Destiny webisodes be on Volume 4?
