Silly question but if there was ever a chance for a character to swear who would it be out of the camp fam?

Whole bum out on screen is crazy /j

I took this movie to my cousins house and my mom warned everybody there was gonna be a sex scene and when it got there everybody started screaming (they are so anti sex it’s actually funny) and my dad ran to hide in the bathroom and my uncle legit walked out. And my cousin got scared for some reason and accidentally paused the movie mid thrust and everybody else in the room started screaming laughing even more, after that scene it was lwk quiet until my cousin spoke up

“…….he was caked up tho….”

Hey there! We... kind of lost a bet and got told to make this. Don't exactly know why they made us do this though...

Sword, it doesn't seem like a bad idea, y'know?

Slingshot, mind explaining why you decided to add Skateboard too?

Well, why not? Plus, he wanted to join anyways.

Yeah! Seemed like fun!

GREAT SEASON! I cried, I laughed, I almost threw up. I’m so happy everyone turned out okay.

I do wonder, the ending scene that we got with everyone at Darius’s cabin, what was the timespan between them helping out at Biosyn to get to that point? I’m guessing a few months, cause I’m also trying to figure out about Ben’s road to recovery, but I was curious.

Caveat that we wrote this forever ago, buuuut... yeah, I'm pretty sure it's been just a few months. My guess would be not more than six? But, like other things, the real answer is, "Enough time that he's healed a little, not enough time for him to be completely better."

You guys clearly put a lot of thought and care into the script for CT when it came to Brooklynn since both her and her VA (Kiersten Kelly) have a limb difference. In S4 Ep. 4 when Kenji asked for a hand Brooklynn responded by joking that she literally only has one hand left, what was the process of writing such interactions throughout the series and how much was Kiersten Kelly involved in the scripts development?

Great question! Kiersten, Peter Lee, and our wonderful consultants were integral in helping us shape Brooklynn's mentality surrounding her new limb difference. From what I remember, a lot of their guidance circled the idea of tone -- how she would react in those first moments seeing herself with a limb difference, how the others would react when seeing it for the first time, and how they would all try to act going forward. The issue according to them was that having a limb difference, while it can be a shock for someone who was born without one, was not all doom and gloom. Yes, on some level, it sucks to have a literal part of you taken away, especially in such dramatic fashion as Brooklynn had her arm taken from her. And so there were very real emotions of shock and loss none of us wanted to glance over. But, the tone of Chaos Theory was not one of JUST drama and deep, dark emotions. We wanted the show to have moments of lightness and levity, so Kiersten and Peter and our consultants made sure to beat it into our heads that Brooklynn could be funny about her limb difference. Her friends, too, could be funny about her limb difference. The others could take Brooklynn's lead in finding the humor in the situation because that's also how our consultants live their lives. They don't think about their limb differences as these dark, awful things all the time. Like so much of ourselves and our bodies, there's still something ridiculous and funny about it all. Having bodies in general is just a funny thing. So they really helped us understand that someone like Brooklynn could -- and sometimes had to -- find the humor in it all. As a queer person, I related to this a lot because a lot of queer stories, especially those told by non-queer people, can be about the drama and the sadness and the pain of coming out or other stereotypical things. Meanwhile, being queer has brought so much light and fun and hope to my life. It's another facet of me and my identity, and just like other facets, it comes with humor! So our consultants helped us make sure Brooklynn didn't fall into a stereotype, which was wonderful. I don't know if she looked at EVERY script and/or animatic, but I know she looked at MANY of them and gave notes and helped us shape Brooklynn and her friends in this regard. It was very awesome to work with her and the others on this so that we could strike the right tone about it all.

Did the Writer's know Ben's status--dead/alive while creating the last few episodes (i.e. 406-409)?

I mean, for the most part. I think the decision whether to actually kill him or not was in flux for a lot of the time, almost down to the wire -- at least for writing -- but I mean, we were the ones discussing whether or not to do it... it was our decision (and by our, I do mean that Bethany and Scott had the FINAL FINAL FINAL say). So. Yeah. But we flip-flopped on it for a while.

For my two cents, I fought back on killing him (which, if you knew me as a writer, would have been very surprising). I didn't think killing him actually fit in with what we were trying to say with the show. It didn't feel tonally correct for me for us to kill him. To put the characters through his potential death? To put you all through his potential death? ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY. But to actually kill him, for me, felt like a step in the wrong direction. I know some of you think we should have just done it, but to me... the death of a character needs to be absolutely in-line with the core message of the show. And the core message of Chaos Theory was ultimately one of hope and perseverance. To kill him so late in the game would have flown in the face of that so much.
