This can be an edge-of-your-seat thriller, but at the same time it can get tedious if everything is so serious and dire all the time. Yeah, humor has always been a driving factor in this show.

I think that meta moments like that, and the direct Lost comparison in the pilot, are important for a show like this to have. TVLINE | I enjoyed how Scott called out Aldridge as the “bad guy” sci-fi character who knows more than she’s saying. One of the fun things about the show is that we want to keep ourselves open to lots of different story possibilities, and the world of these sinkholes and the science we’ve set up behind it allows you to have different time periods that we can explore. TVLINE | I was thinking about what Aldridge said about time being a flat circle or whatever, and that would at least suggest that a portal could deposit someone in the future, beyond 2021. That will be one of the fun things about Season 2, finding them in a world completely different from anything we’ve seen on the show so far.

Their story will be outside of 10,000 B.C. I don’t want to say exactly where they go, but in Season 2 they will be in a different time period. Do we the viewers have enough information to make an educated guess about when and where they disappeared to?

TVLINE | OK, first up: Josh, Riley and Lily. TVLine asked La Brea creator/co-showrunner David Appelbaum many of our burning questions about the freshman finale’s big twists, and where the fall’s No. (as evidenced by the iconic beast that lumbered by). Taking a literal leap of faith, Gavin, Izzy and Ella (who as Lily had left Veronica ensnared by a bear trap) hopped into the void, winding up on a beach circa 10,000 B.C. Meanwhile, topside, Ella’s saved map led her, Gavin, Izzy, Sophia and Agent Markman on a bit of a wild goose chase around Seattle, eventually bringing them to a small campsite sinkhole.
