Review: Witchblade Season 2 "Emergence"
May 29, 2002: Eric Etebari on Ian
Nottingham: "He's going to tap into all those things that have been
subdued by Irons. He's going to touch for the first time and love
for the first time...Originally, his mission was to be the connection
between Irons and Sara for Irons' master plan to control the Witchblade.
But I think now his mission is to find out who he is, where he's
from and why he is so different from your everyday man."

TV Update)
May 27, 2002: John Hensley on Sara
and Gabriel's relationship: "That's kind of a neat thing. Gabriel
and Sara's relationship, I describe them to people, in regards to
them meeting again, is that it's immediately more intimate and that
there's sort of less of a guard between the two of them as they
encounter each other again."

Ralph
Hemecker: "the second season is going to be a cleanly tracking
story for new viewers to the series, while for the core audience,
it will be a bit like Groundhog Day -- some things will be similar,
but many elements are going to be new"
Will Yun Lee:
"there's so much new energy to my character. This season,
you'll really get a glimpse of Danny's life -- his inner struggles."
David Chokachi:
"We're kind of a threesome, but Danny Woo is Sara's partner. We
all work together on whatever the homicide is at that time."
Yancy Butler:
"in the second season she definitively does consider it a
gift. She accepts it and really wants to control it; she is intrigued
and wants to explore all options with the Witchblade, whatever
the outcome may be. She doesn't want to be a hero but really cares
about justice and taking care of injustices."
