Ron D. Moore's Interview With The Nerd Report *Spoiler Warning*

Here is Ron D. Moore’s interview with The Nerd Report.

The Nerd Report: When will season two air?

The Nerd Report: Have you cast Brianna, Roger, Bree or Lord John Grey yet?

Ron Moore: We’re casting. We haven’t cast them yet but we’re looking at tape. We’ve been looking at tape for a while so it’s an active process.

The Nerd Report: Are the Wentworth scenes going to be even more brutal than the Jamie flogging scene?

Ron Moore: Yeah, I mean, they’re different obviously but they’re pretty difficult and pretty challenging, and it’s spread across two episodes as opposed to just being all in one episode. So yeah, it’s pretty tough stuff.

The Nerd Report: Did you ever consider following season one directly in the timeline, or are you going to follow the books and go to 1968?

Ron Moore: Well, we’re playing around with the structure of that right now but the second book is structured in a specific way and I think it does work, so we’re going to follow that template pretty much.

The Nerd Report: Are Sam and Cait in the series until the end?

Ron Moore: I hope so.

The Nerd Report: What are they actually drinking in the booze on the set?

Ron Moore: Oh, it’s all iced tea and colored water, because they have to do a lot of takes. We couldn’t get through the day.
