As someone who watched the final season, I was not too fond of the storyline, but I did love the visual effects. The whole sci-fi aspect of this show creates a world not just practically with sets, but with having to bring to life aspects of a world that is not our own. Reading about how Weta walked through the process of creating the younger version of Will was honestly kinda mind boggling. The idea that they had spent so much time editing and creating his younger self for such a small amount of screen time in the show. I am honestly surprised that that scene was in there because I feel it didn't add that much other than to show a tad bit more backstory to Will, which we could have already assumed. This interview made me realize I don't think I could ever be an editor or work on the visual side of things when working in film, especially on a show as complex as this.
