The first half of the season revolved around the question of, “Is Roger alive?” What would you say is the question or driving force behind the second half of the season?
PHIL KLEMMER: Stephen will basically learn about what forced his father into this limbo, this exile. He’ll get two accounts of what went down. He’ll get one from Jedekiah, and he’ll get one from The Founder. We have these twin heads of Ultra – Jedekiah being human, and The Founder is obviously paranormal – they’re both sort of vying for Stephen’s loyalty, and they both realize that Stephen’s instrumental for [their] secret agendas. The fun of the back half is you have these two terribly untrustworthy, duplicitous, manipulative, dangerous dudes just trying to win Stephen over to their side, and the truth is he can’t really trust either of them. The stakes will become so much more than just bringing his father back. It’s a case of history repeating itself where Stephen will find himself placed in the same dilemma that his father was facing and realizing that his father basically arranged to fake, or in a way to actually stage his own death, in order to avoid this terrible plot. That will give you some notion of the stakes Stephen finds himself at the center of by the end of the season.

Sigh. Just reading this makes me sad. We'll only get one season it looks like.
