Q1 from @ember_firedrake: Will we get more flashbacks of Miles as general? Specifically the "Butcher of Baltimore" nickname?
Q1: That’s something that would be really interesting to investigate. It’s not on the near horizon, but something I’m into.
Q2 from @MandMBOY18: Was Monroe based off any real life people like a Napoleon or Julius Caesar?
Q2: He is based on a combination of both Chaplins from ‘The Great Dictator’
Q3 via @dori319: Where's Grace? Why must you torture us by trying to kill Monroe? What level of Candy Crush is everyone on?
Q3: Grace is on planet Earth. The needs of drama. What the hell is Candy Crush.
Q4 from @duck_sleeping: Will Jason and Charlie meet up again and finish what they nearly started?
Q4: General rule of Kripke-verse: The more you think you want it likelier it is to occur...just look out for nice twists
Q5 from @kwisteria: Will team Miles find another ally or are they pretty much on their own?
Q5: If they don’t they’re screwed!
Q6 from @Cyndiloulewis: What is a "bad penny"? That's twice Miles has been referenced as one.
Q6: A “bad penny” is any coin that has been used in a gravity-related murder (see Empire State Building).
Q7 via @catielea: What can #charloe fans look forward to in the coming episodes? More sparkage??
Q7: I think Monroe would be pretty worried about Miles if sparks flew. But worry is not his forte.
Q8 from @Rain7781: These guys are always out in the woods but we never see any wild animals...because of all the hunting?
Q8: Wild animals are terrified of production crews.
Q9: Which character/storylines are the most fun to write?
Q9: I’m really into the nanotech & it’s impact on an alternate future. I think that’s really cool.
Q9 contd: That’s the geek part of me. The other cool thing is looking for real human characters in this unusual narrative place.
Q10 from @donnie_20: When's Aaron going to stop being such a punk & come into himself as a strong willed, headstrong person?
Q10: It’s hard for Aaron because of his giant brain. He’s over-thought every thought he’s ever had.
Thanks for taking part and stay tuned for more excitement! :) Love, Ben Edlund ( @ben_edlund) #PowerHalfHour #Revolution
