Summary

Production designer Rory Cheyne sits down with Jason and David to dive into episode 6, “Why the Gods Made Wine.” Jason learns this was one of the most challenging episodes to make—thanks to an unexpected snowstorm and a flood. David and Rory go deep on how they created Hari’s home planet, Helicon, and why this was the right time to tell the story of Hari’s tragic past. Plus, David takes a stab at explaining superposition and quantum mechanics for all the non-physicists out there.
