Ask Bill Freiberger A Question For Sonic Boom Commentaries #52!

[AAUK]

Dear SSMB,

This Friday evening myself, Doublexxcross and SSF1991 will be recording the last Sonic Boom Commentary show* for Season 1 of Sonic Boom. It's the thing The Sonic Show puts out that you might see occasionally - there's a really fun pre and post show on Last Minute Continue too, but you're probably not aware of that. >_> 

For our last show we're being joined, once again, by Sonic Boom showrunner Bill Freiberger who'll be chatting with us, answering our questions and commentating on the episode itself of course. As it's the last show and we've got Bill on we thought we'd throw open the doors to questions from you guys who might not neccessarily listen in all the time.

So, what questions would you like to ask the man in charge of the Sonic Boom cartoon about the Season One of the show? Now please note we won't be able to ask about any potential future dealings with the show (yes, that means no Season 2 questions please), but if you've got any questions about characters, episodes, writing, the processes involved in making an episode or anything like that please do put down your question and we'll see if we can ask it during the recording!

Soooo what would you like to ask?

(EDIT: You can also ask the commentators a question here too if you want.)
* The pre-show, post-show and commentary will be going out on Christmas Day

[Forte-Metallix]

"Why wasn't Metal Sonic invited to the big villain team-up?"

Looking forward to it!

[Shasonsil]

Not sure if this'll get answered but, "Why did you decide to make Knuckles so dimwitted?"

[Badnik Mechanic]

"Stephen Frost said that when the Sonic Boom project was first conceived, it turned out that the game and the cartoon teams were busy doing their own things and stuff ended up going off in two different directions, are you able to comment or elaborate further on that?"

 

[shdowhunt60]

Will we see any further elaboration on how the Boom universe actually works, or is the series just going to go on acting like everybody already knows?

[Haalyle]

Have you got any ideas for episodes in Season 2? And will the liquid animations be any better?

[FantasticMrRobb]

• Are there any current plans on bringing the Chaos Emeralds to the Sonic Boom Universe? If not, will we ever see Super Sonic/any other transformation appear Sonic Boom?
• Could you give us a hint or two on any main series characters (potentially) making an appearance in the next season?
• What can you tell us about the Angel Island in the Sonic Boom Universe? How does it differ from the main series? All we know right now is that Knuckles is from there, and that's it.
• As of right now, there are no Chaos Emeralds in the Sonic Boom Universe. Does this mean there's no Master Emerald as well?

Added new questions, modified the old one.

[Idon'tcare]

I got a few questions.

1: Were there really no communication at all between the producers of the games, the show and the comic book?

2: Which other SEGA characters would the creative team have liked to introduce to the show in season 1?

3: Are there going to be any longer, story driven episodes in the second season?

[Polkadi~☆]

• Was the sports tape necessary to the design?
• Will the characters use the Enerbeams more often?
• Will we see other charactes from the game canon in the show?
• How is it to work on the show? Fun, or hard? Or perhaps both?

[Badnik Mechanic]

Can we have an episode where Sonic is invited to Sonic convention... And only one person turns up, who doesn't like him.

 

[Red Hot Jack]

Would a Sticks origin (showing how she met Sonic and friends) be possible to make or is it off limits?

[Shaddy Zaphod]

Why were the main heroes designs so drastically changed, while characters like Shadow and Metal saw little to no difference at all?

[Speeps]

Does Sonic still know how to fly a plane in Boom?

[Multikaris]

"What are the names of the other siblings of Perci seen in Battle of the Boy Bands?" 

 

"What specific kind of Bandicoot is Perci?" 

 

"Will Lyric or D-Fekt appear on the show?"

 

 

[SpyroZap]

• Have you played Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric or Sonic Boom: Shattered? If yes, what is your opinion on them?
• Is Shadow really a villain in the Sonic Boom universe or did he use Eggman's invitation as a chance to fight Sonic?
• How long is the production for a single episode?
• Is Sega aware of Cartoon Network barely advertising Boom on there main channel?
• If the show's intro could be longer, what modern Sonic song would you choose as the theme song.
• What are some of the other shows you have worked on? Any recommendations?

Who on Earth is Reid Harrison?!

[Myst]

How come we haven't seen where Knuckles lives?

[Forte-Metallix]

How come we haven't seen where Knuckles lives?

I can answer that one: Knuckles doesn't actually have a home; he's a wanderer who lives in nature. 

 

[Myst]

Maybe games Knuckles, But Boom Knuckles could barely survive in nature in 'Into the Wilderness'. He was always getting lost or yelling for Sonic's help.

[FriendBot]

Knuckles lives with his excercise equipment.

[GamerGirl54321]

Will the show become more serious at any point?

[shdowhunt60]

Can we get Roger in on this? Because quite frankly, I would like to see him ask some questions like he did with Ken Pontac.

[AAUK]

Hi guys, this topic is now CLOSED. Thank you for your questions!

[FantasticMrRobb]

Knuckles lives with his excercise equipment.

For some reason, I ship this.

Can we get Roger in on this? Because quite frankly, I would like to see him ask some questions like he did with Ken Pontac.

Just hit him up on his Twitter.

[FriendBot]

Just hit him up on his Twitter.

I think he meant Roger van der weide, the guy that did the first and forever last interview with Ken Pontac.

And to be honest, I prefer that not to happen since people caused an absolute ridiculous uproar over the fact he didn't know much about the Sonic lore. And they already done the commentary too sooo yeah.
