I think [Matt is] sort of like a friendly nihilist. He’s someone who really doesn’t believe in anything at all, except to try to be nice to people. And I think he’s well intentioned, but I think his world view is so askew, that when he tries to be comforting to people in distressing situations, it makes them feel catastrophically worse. So, I think—like, yeah good intentions, bad execution. I guess—I think when the, sort of, premise of the show was laid out to me, the idea that everybody would be so distressed by the fact that this space cruise is knocked off course and, you know, they’re gonna be stuck in space for an indeterminate amount of time made sense. But I was also thinking, like—well, for what kind of person would that actually be a gift?
