Is there one of them in particular that you enjoyed writing for the most?Well, in the original series, I’ve got to say writing for John Hannah as Batiatus. He was kind of my alter ego, and just the way he curses was my personal favorite. John did such an amazing job with the dialogue.
Thank you for making a natural segue to my next question. Your dialogue is famous for being poetically profane. I call it "lyrical eloquence."I love it.
Is that something that you craft meticulously, or does it just flow naturally at this point?A little of both. It does flow naturally, although there are many times in the writer's room we'll spend 20 minutes on one sentence, "What about this word? What about that word?" I always say it's like a mashup between Shakespeare and Conan the Barbarian. We also often say that in the show it's "Sparta-speak," which means nobody ever says what they mean. There's a lot of talking around the subject, which is often a little tricky to try to make clear to the audience, but still obscure enough for the scene.

Lucy Lawless returning as Lucretia is going to be a thrill for fans. Was bringing her back always part of your plan? And could more legacy cast members appear in future episodes?Bringing Lucy back was critical to getting this show off to the right start, because the way we start it and explain how Ashur is alive in this what-if universe, you really needed Lucy. She was so intricately tied to Ashur in that final season in Vengeance, and she's the reason that he ultimately got killed. So it just made total sense for her to be the engine that kicks it off.As for other people popping up, I always tell all the fans that ask, "Well, Ashur's alive. Maybe Gannicus could still be alive," I have to tell them, "No, everybody else is still dead." I'm not touching what happened in that respect or undoing the deaths that were earned in the original show, just with Ashur. Could you see them in a flashback or a dream? Possibly, if it makes sense for the story. But in the reality of the world, those who died remain deceased.
