Thanks to Bruce_F for the heads up.
EntertainmentWeekly: The Alphas went public in the first season finale. How does this change the game?
Miller: The show exists very much in the real world so we tried to think what would really happen. We decided that some people would believe it and some would not. The goverment wouldn’t confirm it. Alphas would be somewhere between Area 51 and Bigfoot. And certainly Dr. Lee Rosen (David Strathairn) the hammer would come down on him for making that kind of revelation. I think he was trying to do the right thing. But the repercussions were quite strong. Rosen has been institutionalized and discredited. The team has broken up. It’s a team of misfits but they fit well together. I wanted to see their lives without the team. Some have become more much committed to each other, some have fallen quite far morally and ethically.
What’s their relationship with the government like now?
The government finds they’re in a position where they don’t particularly trust Rosen and he doesn’t trust them. But this team has special skills and there are some very scary Alphas escaping into the world. They the team is brought together, not because the government wants them but because the government needs them.
What’s Erin Way’s character like?
She really is fabulous we feel she’s a terrific actress and we’re lucky to have her. Erin’s character is named Kat and she shows up [in an] episode where there’s an Alphas Fight Club and she’s going to toe with Harken (Malik Yoba). Her character has an amazing ability — she’s a quick study, she can learn anything really quickly. She can learn how to fly a helicopter overnight. But it comes with an extraordinary downside, that she has no long-term memory. Things that happened six weeks ago fades away. She’s almost like a Tivo moving forward. But her muscle memory doesn’t go away. So she doesn’t know what she knows and what she doesn’t know. Sometimes she’s incredibly useful sometime she’s not and you never know which it’s going to be. She’s living in the moment. It’s a very cool character.
