That led to the idea of having this take place in this unconscious world while she’s knocked out.
There are also a couple of episodes of television that have inspired this.
That’s something that I’ve loved ever since I’ve seen it.
Ryan Green/AMC
So that’s what we were kind of hoping to do.
To kind of throw all the rules out the window and start from scratch.
So, yeah, it was a lot of fun to write.

How did you all come up with your look for those scenes?
That’s what led to that pink tree aesthetic.
I think Mikey just realized it so beautifully.

Why not have them be part of this vision of the future?
And should we read anything into that decision?
So we wanted to be realistic with the truth of what would happen.
So, that was sort of the genesis of it.
That was why we told it the way that we did.
I remember how they were so careful the way they shot that scene and everything.
And, for us, we wanted to tell the story.
And it’s such a sensitive issue that it doesn’t get talked about.
We think it’s something that is worth examining.

GOLDBERG:The impact is immense.
And this is a season about our characters being tested.
It’s why he was building up this town behind the dam wall.
It all started with this family he was hoping to build.
So yeah, you’re right.
Where do they go from here, when that dream has evaporated?
And Morgan’s been wrestling with, why am I alive?
Why did I survive?
What’s left for all of us?

But it was just a dream.”
So is there anything we should take away from this unconscious dream/vision of the future she had?
So there was some truth in that.
And she has now lost that child and lost that dream.
But at the same time, the baby absorbed that radiation from her.
Where did the selection for Roy Orbison’s “In Dreams” come from?
Who’s the Orbison fan amongst you all?
GOLDBERG:I’ll take that one.
I’m also a hugeBlue Velvetfan, as well.
So Teddy’s group now has the key.
What does that mean for them and for everyone?
Okay, tease us up for next week.
What do ya got?
