But fellow cast member Ross Marquand prefers a comparison to another 1980s property.
Theyre hour-long action films, Marquand says of the upcoming episodes.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You got the crap beaten out of you last season.
I feel like I reached my quota last year and it was enough for me.
When you look at your character, whats his headspace heading now into war?
But now I think hes squarely at the mindset that there is no hope for any sort of diplomacy.
Theres no way you might negotiate with these men.
There just hasnt been any room for that really.
And thats for everyone, including Aaron.
You say Aaron is ready for war and hes ready to do this.
Its one thing to put his own life on the line, but war also puts Eric at risk.
Erics only point is not can we fight, but should we fight?
Does it make sense to or are we just going into a suicide mission.
There are these really sort of beautifully nuanced and realistic action moments.
For me, thats what I always like to go for.
I mean myself included.
I was there for it, but seeing it all cut together is a totally different thing.
