Thanks for playing! Head back over to @bergopolis for questions and comments.

A: In real life, Colin and Salli are like brother and sister. So really it's just incestuous all around. :)

[Amy Berg @AmyBergLive]

Q: @techie128: With casting Dondre as Salli's brother, and Colin playing her hubby, did it provide the needed tension in that episode?

[Amy Berg @AmyBergLive]

A: In television you write for the time you have. Sometimes it's two weeks, sometimes it's two days. Depends on when prep starts on the ep.

[Amy Berg @AmyBergLive]

Q: @julesincolorado how many hours does it take to pump out an average #eureka script?

[Amy Berg @AmyBergLive]

A: We've always tried to find something for Dondre to do, and despite the oddness of casting Salli's hubby as her brother... it paid off! :)

[Amy Berg @AmyBergLive]

Q: @ShempLabs Which came first, the creation of the character or the casting of Whitfield?

[Amy Berg @AmyBergLive]

It was much harder for us to write all the tech talk than it was for Colin to spit it out, sadly. :)

Q: @chiefted loved the slight Metropolis nod in that scene in the garage. A: Great catch! Love that film.

[Amy Berg @AmyBergLive]

Q: @julesincolorado: did Colin have much trouble with all the geek speak he had to do this ep? A: Nope! Colin is a frakkin' pro.

So this is the first time I'm seeing the final cut of these last few episodes. The legs turned out better than I thought. :)

[Amy Berg @AmyBergLive]

Fun watching this with you guys. I was off rewriting a miniseries for Syfy so wasn't involved with any VFX for the back half of season.

[Amy Berg @AmyBergLive]

Happy to A some Qs as I go... send 'em along!

[Amy Berg @AmyBergLive]

Hope you guys are enjoying it! Had fun on this one. Kudos to staffers @edfowler and @PaulaYoo for a strong first draft.

[Amy Berg @AmyBergLive]

Damn, forgot the Oxford comma!

Okay, I'm here. Typing while drinking rum and coke, fending off an ankle-biting puppy and staring at a life-size Cadbury chocolate bar.

Favorite memory re: this episode is when Jaime walked into the writers room after reading my first draft, hugged me, then left. :)

[Amy Berg @AmyBergLive]

Just thinking about this episode makes me miss my pals on the #Eureka writing staff. Truly unparalleled in their talent and kindness.

[Amy Berg @AmyBergLive]

The final scene is probably the most dramatic piece I've ever written for the show. And @neilgrayston and @wilw simply KILLED it. #Eureka

Are you guys counting all the geeky references? There's about a half-dozen I snuck into this one. :)
