VS: Like a lot of characters, she has to grow up faster than they necessarily like to. The 30 days are going by but look at this, ‘I’m losing him in front of my eyes and am becoming desperate to save him.’ That’s how I saw it. He’s experiencing a lifetime of dark magic use in like, a second.ĪE: It also ratchets things up for Claudia. We talked about it in season four, when he does dark magic again, he resets. We were able to carry it out and there’s more stuff in there. JR: It was intentional that they were separated but we got more out of it than we initially thought. Justin Richmond: And I had coffee at the coffee shop they filmed at.ĪIPT: Viren’s vision quest is an exploration into his psyche, it’s one of the darkest moments of the season but it also served as a way to pull him out of the Claudia-Terry scenes because we got to see that relationship blossom. We’ve had a lot of conversations about how that worked, why that worked, why it made sense and we’re proud of it. It’s wonderful how they influence each other. He is experiencing that dark magic dream both as a young person who is first experimenting with dark magic and himself who is coming towards the end of his journey, and experience it again.īoth of those points of view, he experienced 1) as a young person seeing visions of the future self and now 2) he’s the older person, seeing the young person brought into this. If Cooper from the future is encountering himself in the past, what does time mean in this space? What that experience meant to Viren is the same. ĪE: I’ll be honest, one of the things we loved in that story was Agent Cooper encountering himself from the future. Unfortunately I leaned so much I started pushing. Villads Spangsberg: I love reading Aaron and Justin’s scripts and when you come across something like that you have to stop and say, ‘what did I just read?’ Then when you start leaning into it, you realize it’s a great homage and it really serves the story really well here. But we planted a very intentional homage to something that influenced us and our approach to storytelling a lot. The hope is that a scene like that plays to someone who doesn’t know Twin Peaks, because this is weird, odd and distorted. What inspired this Twin Peaks tribute/reference?ĪE: What a groundbreaking show, it did storytelling and television in a way that had never been before. But for now you’ll see this complicated mentor figure who has some emotional conflict with Viren.ĪIPT: My ears perked up when I started hearing elves speaking backwards, but then I rubbernecked at the black and white zig-zags on the floor. There are clues in his design to some of what he went through that we’ll get more into in seasons six and seven. We see a little bit about his fate, and hints about his role in Viren’s psyche and trauma. He seems like a more important player moving forward.Īaron Ehasz: K’ppar is his mentor, we’ve talked a lot about him but this is the first tease of him in more than one way. Do not read further until you’ve caught up and binged the entire season, which is now available on Netflix.**ĪIPT: We only got a taste of K’ppar, who is Viren’s teacher/mentor. **Warning, there are severe spoilers about The Dragon Prince Season 5: Ocean. AIPT TV did just that, when Ernie Estrella spoke with The Dragon Prince co-creators Aaron Ehasz, Justin Richmond and director/executive producer Villads Spangsberg to go over some of season five’s biggest and most significant moments and what they mean moving into seasons six and seven. There is certainly plenty to chew on while we wait for the next installment. It opened up corners of Xadia that we haven’t seen, it introduced us to many characters who will be factoring into the bigger story at hand, and every episode was filled with something fans can talk about. Season five of The Dragon Prince dropped a week early, thanks to “pirates” who hijacked the Comic-Con panel in San Diego.
