Friedman on the balancing act of giving Cameron and the non-humans too much emotion:

"I think she is a more advanced model and she has more ability to at least mimic emotion and do some things. I think any time you have any form of cyborg, android, whatever, there’s always a temptation by the writers to start exploring that whole humanity thing. How far it goes and where we go and what her limitations are is something I’m still exploring. It’s interesting because I think that there are two groups of people who watch these shows - there are the real sci-fi people who watch these shows and then there’s everybody else."

Austin Green on shooting the battlefield sequence in the future:

"I had a fantastic time with that and that was sort of shot all over. Most of the battle stuff was in downtown Los Angeles, and it was actually a concrete recycling factory. So it was helpful, they didn’t have to bring the actual cement in, just everything else."

Friedman on how they incorporate humor into the show:

"In the pilot there’s absolutely no humor at all and I say that having written it. And then I sat down and wrote the second episode and I put a lot of jokes in it and most of them were Cameron’s. Everyone ... the table read and when read, it was like, I was really funny. And everyone’s laughing; it was like we had a sitcom taping. And it was like, God, first of all no one thinks that I’m ever funny and I know for a fact that I’m hysterical. They wouldn’t—everyone was like, wow, that’s really funny, it’s really funny and I remember Lena came up to me and she’s like, Josh, this is really funny, I’ve got to do comedy in here. Now you never told me I was going to do comedy. I was like, well, let’s go for it. Every time people just put on the boots and the leather jackets it just seems people get pretty serious. I’m going to try to get more comedy next season."

Brian Austin Green on the shows he watches on television:

"I’m not watching any television, really, at all except for this show, to be honest... No, it’s actually the truth. It’s the only thing I am TiVo’ing and watching really just out of the excitement of it, being on set and shooting what we shoot and then sitting back and seeing how it all comes together. For me I can read a script ten times and there are still things that I miss that I don’t really completely understand until I watch it. But it’s really the only thing that I’m watching weekly... I’m always just waiting for shark week."

Austin Green on the shows he watched as a kid:

"I watched Battlestar Galactica when I was a kid. I had the toys and it was the coolest thing in the world when Universal Studios had the ride, where the tram went through and the Cylons were out and all that was going on. Now, God, I’ve always been more of a movie watcher really than a TV watcher. When I watched television it would tend to be more on the comedy side. I’d watch a lot of Three’s Company and shows like that."

Friedman on the house in the future where Derek went to and whether its the same house as where John and Sarah live:

"That is not the house that they’re living in now, I will say that. I will actually give a definitive answer. And it is certainly my goal that we find out what happens down there. I originally planned on doing four episodes - if we had a 22-episode order of the first year, I had pitched doing four episodes that took place in the future out of those 22. Then when we had an order of 13, we were going to do two, and then I was still planning on doing a second future episode out of one of the four episodes that was not filmed because of the strike, was going to be a future episode where we probably would have explored that. But we didn’t get there. Hopefully next year."

Friedman on whether we'll ever see the originally planned episodes that never got made due to the writers' strike:

"It’s going to take some re-jiggering but I think there are ideas and beats from those episodes that we had planned and hadn’t filmed that will definitely be making their way in. I’ve got a little perspective on the show and when we were working on episodes 10, 11, 12, 13, we had yet to air episode one. So it’s nice to actually now have seen the show and sort of educate yourself on your own show on what works and what doesn’t work. It’s like you have a second chance with a look at it."

Friedman on whether we'll see Derek in Season 2:

"All I’ll say is that I think Brian is doing an awesome job and I think he’s brought more to the series than I even imagined that he would. So I’m really happy."
