RATER:Tia had this beautiful image about how she wanted to end the season.
Tia, can you talk about it, the lions roaring at each other?
It wasnt quite blocked that way, but emotionally Jake, the ferocity of him protecting his friend.
They were best friends.
Theyve gone through some stuff.
What happens in there?
Whats the fallout for Bode?
Theres going to be huge emotional ramifications.
So that image has always been a mainstay of what the finale was going to be.
Fire Country is an action-drama series created for CBS that follows Bode Donavan, a man in the middle of a five-year stint in prison looking to redeem himself. Given a unique chance to do so, Bode signs on to a unique prison-release program where he’ll have the rest of his sentence commuted if he works with firefighters in Northern California. What starts as a chance at redemption becomes a confrontation with his past when Bode is assigned to his hometown - where his life went down the wrong path.
RATER:I wanted to leave it like that without leaving a moment to settle.
I remember onGreys, we would have these finales that we felt, Oh my god.
How are we going to solve this next season?
We have written ourselves into a corner.
But thats where the best creative ideas come from.
PHELAN:There are different ways you could do it.
And I think, depending on how youve chosen to wrap things up, both are really valid choices.
