| 0:27.0 | I'm sorry about the the drought lander you know it just is what it is to make this quality show you know all good things take |
| 0:37.1 | time so what you're seeing here was early days in the writer's room. We wanted to get into |
| 0:49.9 | Jamie's head and we hear a lot of voice over from Claire, but we don't often get into what |
| 0:58.8 | Jamie's thinking. And one of the thoughts was that when they get separated at the end of season six, |
| 1:08.0 | that he would, all his fears would come to the surface. |
