And, honestly, in our final season, I miss that."
We had to maintain a social distance, so we weren’t able to hug each other.
Everything is done from a distance.

So I don’t think it’s really sinking it yet.
It just feels really, really weird.
And yet, at the same time, it feels all completely normal.
And here we are in August.
It’s like, “Whoa, what?
It’s like getting a little whiplash, looking around, like, where am I?
What’s going on?
None of it’s really sinking in yet.
I just watched the first two episodes and it seems like ages ago that we shot it.
It feels like I’m watching a whole different season.
I don’t know how many times I’ve asked this year, “What day is it?”
It doesn’t matter if it’s Saturday or Tuesday, every day is kind of the same.
And thankfully, I haven’t gone into debt yet because of it.
So how would you describe Eugene’s journey in these first eight episodes of season 11?
He’s full of anxiety.
He doesn’t really know the fate of the people back home in Alexandria.
He left during the war to get help.
The stakes are higher than they’ve ever been.
And I think he always has that confidence to come out on top.
And so, right now, we’re starting to see that maybe that confidence isn’t there.
Or is it going to elude him?
Will he be able to regain it and recapture it?
And that’s just kind of where he is.
He’s in this weird, in between, anxiety-ridden place that he’s never really found himself before.
After all, this ishismission, this is his idea, this is all on him.
This is the way.
Trust me, trust me, trust me.”
So I think that’s throwing him a little bit too.
It’s like, “Wait, you guys didn’t push back.
Now I really have to confirm this works.”
It’s not even just to save face, like he would normally.
It’s like, “Oh, you guys didn’t push back on this.
Is this the right call?”
A lot more people are impacted by these decisions.
