Wow, what a great interview! I'd always wondered about why the show had this lack of context, and the last thing I would have expected was that that was intentionally what was going on!
Hm. I'd always thought of Trevor as a villain, only in the context that he's the closest to the traditional definition of one. I'd figured that was an intentional choice to contrast the far more faceless evils out there, and to contrast Aeon, who can't tidily be defined as anything but Aeon. I was right about her, but wrong about Trevor, so that's cool.
Married in a previous life? That's about the last thing I would have ever thought. I can sort of imagine it happening in the show - some sort of machine to regress or progress a person through their avatars until Trevor gets back or forward to an Aeon who's interested in him - but naww, I like the relationship being all about right now more, too. I figured the attraction was based on that Trevor is what Aeon's considered doing with her worldview, but never went that direction, and vice versa.
