But the person in the biggest trouble of all may be Naomi.
NAREN SHANKAR:I wasn’t.
I mean, literally been together from the beginning, right?

Few people going off here and there, but nothing really like this.
So in the novel, the entire gang was on Tycho.
Once you realize there’s this natural desire.

“Oh my God, how are they going to get together?
We need them to come together.
We need them to solve the problems.”
Those are the things I think that you feel unconsciously.
And they almost never, ever really gave you flashbacks.
So so it was just the way we came at telling the Amos backstory in the present day.
I was really happy with the way it turned out.
Let me ask you about the Naomi stuff.
Obviously, she’s reunited with Filip.
We see he doesn’t want her help, but yet he then takes her and her ship.
So what can you say about why he decides to do that?
It’s actually one of the bigger changes from the books.
In the books, it was Marco’s plans to bring Naomi on board from the very beginning.
It’s a complicated decision, and it’s made impulsively and it does change things.
Because Marco’s not expecting this.
He’s not planning for this.
It actually causes complications for him.
It has significant repercussions as the season goes on.
And then now we see Drummer seemingly letting go of her pursuit of Marco.
What can you say about what is next for her and her crew?
And the world has a way of finding you and events affect us all.
It’s hard to avoid it, because it will find you.
And at a certain point, it requires you to act and make decisions.
it’s possible for you to’t just live your life in a cave.
And that storyline is really about, think of post-9/11, how did mainstream Muslims react to those events?
It’s that kind of a storyline.
The last shot is of Marco’s asteroid hitting Earth as we see this poor fisherman just get obliterated.
“[Laughs]
And he’s feeding the fish.
You get the size of it.
And what can you say about this means for Earth moving forward?
Not a real happy time for Earth.
Good time to be on Luna.
Yeah, maybe a better time to be on the moon.
