We had a screening for the premiere of the pilot at the Santa Monica pier. I was sitting there in the back with some of my coworkers, and we were watching with the fans,” he said. “And when those moments hit, especially the Easter eggs, the fans just cheered—they were just absolutely loving what they were seeing. And we were like, ‘Wow! Mission accomplished.’”
