00:00 I mean, I don't know if we were able to plan ahead.
00:02 But I think certainly knowing we had more episodes was helpful.
00:06 I think, you know, season six was a bit of a crazy season for us.
00:11 Obviously, I've never had a season where we halfway through were like,
00:15 oh, we're not going to make it.
00:16 You know that we had to shave off some episodes.
00:19 It worked out beautifully.
00:20 And actually, the season ended on kind of a lovely little cliffhanger moment.
00:25 So actually, it all worked out really well.
00:27 But during the time, it was quite stressful.
00:29 And I think knowing we could make that up in season seven was a relief.
00:34 But also, that's a long time for filming.
00:38 We haven't done that since season one had 16 episodes.
00:40 I was a little worried about our crew and our cast.
00:42 But I have to say, it was such an exciting season.
00:46 Everyone just felt this renewed sense of energy.
00:48 And it did not feel like it was a year of filming.
00:51 It really went by so fast because I think everyone was so enthusiastic.
00:55 We were also thrilled to be back in more of a normal sense after COVID.
00:59 We still wore masks, and we still had the protocols.
01:01 But I don't know.
01:03 There was a feeling on set this year.
01:04 I haven't felt that since season one where we just--
01:08 I don't know.
01:09 That COVID period, that season six made us have a new appreciation of the show.
01:13 And we've always loved it.
01:14 But I just felt us bringing everyone's step.
01:18 And I don't know if that's also because we had new cast members this season.
01:21 So it was-- yeah, it was really exciting.
01:24 Were any of the early episodes kind of left over from the previous season?
01:29 Yeah, we did.
01:30 So we had four episodes that we had early writers drafts on for season six
01:35 that obviously we didn't film.
01:36 And we had to change them.
01:38 But we did roll them over to the next season.
01:41 So they will start off season seven.
01:44 The first-- they've changed.
01:47 But they're basically some of the stuff we had
01:51 towards the end of that season six.
01:54 Well, I think that one of the most striking images of the whole show
01:58 was Genie wearing the red coat uniform.
02:00 So is it safe to say that that's not going to be happening again
02:04 for the Revolutionary War?
02:07 I think that's pretty safe to say.
02:09 I think-- I don't think we'll be seeing him in that again.
02:12 But I think, obviously, his allegiance will be torn.
02:14 And that question of who to fight for and what to fight for
02:18 is a big theme of this season.
