Newsarama: So I've had the chance to watch All This And Gargantua 2 and there's no hyperbole, this really does change the landscape of the show entirely. How long was this all plotted out?
Jackson Publick: For a while now, I guess.
Doc Hammer: That outer space special was even something we were trying to be the finale of last season. So it's about since definitely last season.
Publick: Since the middle of last season at least, but it's been brewing for a long time.
Hammer: Yeah, see what we do is, when we plan a season, somewhere in the middle we get really excited about the upcoming season instead of the one we're working on. [laughs]
So all of that has been around since season five, because, pardon the cliche verbiage here, game-changing stuff has been around since season five.
Nrama: Okay, yeah, because it felt like season five ended abruptly.
Hammer: We ran out of episodes.
Publick: We were spoiled the year before when the network let us kind of go back and do a big episode and we're just used to longer seasons. We weren't used to writing a ten episode slot so we went and asked "Hey, can we just have two more to make an hour finale?" and it didn't work so we saved it for a special. So here it is!
Hammer: And we were pretty vocal about season five actually ending on the penultimate episode. We thought we would work and it sort does wrap up that season, but we did have a major story to tell and didn't get to tell it.
