Lie To Me Scoop

Digital Spy has published an interview with Brendan Hines, wherein he discusses season two. And, he has quite a few things to say. Check out some highlights below:

Last time we spoke, you said that the second season was going to be more character driven. Has that come to fruition?
“Yeah – it has, absolutely. I would say that the science has taken a bit of a backseat to the characters. We’re not abandoning the science or anything but I think season one was like a primer to get people up to speed with the science so they knew what we were talking about. Now it’s a lot more about how the work that we do affects us and the choices we make – what happens when we get stuff wrong – so it’s a lot more character-driven. The show has, interestingly, gotten more intense but also funnier too. We’re getting to know the characters better which makes them more fun to be around.”

Apparently there’s a hostage situation in episode two?
“Yeah, there is. I’m not going to tell you the exact circumstance but that does happen. By the way, if you were watching season one and thinking, ‘I like this show but Tim Roth doesn’t get [beat up] enough’ you’ll be really happy come season two. I think it’s every episode these days he’s getting bruised and bloodied.”

Loker and Torres – will we be seeing more screen time for them both?
“I will tell you without telling you – I’ll say that we did just shoot an episode a couple of days ago where there is an advancement on that front.”

What’s your take on Lightman and Gillian? Do you think they’re destined to be together?
“No, I think the reason it works is because it’s unrequited and because there are so many things getting in the way of that actually happening, professionally and personally. I think it’s a really sweet connection and a really sweet relationship but I think they should draw it out as long as possible because it’s powerful.”

Brendan goes on to talk about his favorite episode to shoot, the time time lapse on the show between seasons 1 & 2, Lightman’s relationships with ex-wife Zoe (Jennifer Beals) and daughter Emily (Hayley McFarland), and more. To read the rest of the article, head over to digitalspy.com.
