my own’. And she does and I like it when she does that, I think it is very cool and makes very good TV. GS: It is very cool. Definitely, especially when you have the suit and all the gadgets and everything, that is awesome. RN: Oh yeah, that is one of the most fun parts of my job, when I get to…you know I have gadgets and it is very important that Keira, even though she has the gadgets she is also still human, they have done a very good job. There are times when she is and there are times when you have to worry for her. She is not a supergirl she is a human, she is a human girl from the future and has certain elements like her tech that make her supergirl-esque in certain ways, but at the end of the day she is still human and you know still makes those mistakes and isn’t completely untouchable as a superhero would be. She has her faults, she has got her flaws. GS: I think that is quite nice, the fact that you don’t rely on the suit, you don’t go a bit like the sonic screwdriver in Doctor Who, it will save all. The suit does break down and you have to deal with that. RN: Yeah and that is so important especially because we don’t want her to look invincible, she has got to be human, because she is human and they have done a very good job with that. The tech breaks down, sometimes it doesn’t work, but you know what sometimes the tech is wrong and that was the really important thing for her to learn because in the future the tech is never wrong and she is told to completely rely on it. And she does even when Carlos says to her ‘You need some bedside manner. You look straight through people, you have essentially zero bedside manner. What is wrong with you?’. And she doesn’t get it, she doesn’t understand what instincts are really, she has relied on tech for her whole career. Being in 2013 she has to become more of a human than she ever was in 2037. GS: Brilliant. So! Do we know if Season three has been greenlit? Is there another season to look forward to? RN: We are all hoping so obviously. Three episodes have aired here [in the US] and the fourth is to air on Sunday, it is doing really well, so fingers crossed! But I doubt they will announce anything until it has aired both in the UK and the US. GS: Well I really hope they do because it is so nice to have a fresh sci-fi show out there that is just brilliant to be honest. RN: Oh thank you so much! It is so nice to talk to people who love the show. It makes me so happy so I really appreciate it. I have really enjoyed talking to you and thank you for watching. GS: Thank you for doing a brilliant job and thank you for giving up your time this evening – or afternoon to speak to me. RN: Absolutely! Have a great night. Continuum season two kicks off on Syfy UK on Thursday May 23rd at 10pm.
