Actor Zachary Quinto, who portrays Oliver Wolf in the NBC medical drama series Brilliant Minds<\/strong>, and showrunner and series creator Michael Grassi reflected on the mysterious flash-forward scenes in the Season 2<\/strong> premiere. These flash forwards serve as bookends of the episode. They reveal that Oliver will be a patient at Hudson Oaks mental health facility six months after the current events in the show.<\/p>\n Michael Grassi and Zachary Quinto discussed the flash-forward scenes in Brilliant Minds Season 2 Episode 1 during an interview with Deadline<\/a>. They gave details on how important these parts are to the overarching narrative of the sophomore season. Quinto acknowledged that Oliver becoming a patient at Hudson Oaks is not something the viewers would expect and added that the circumstances behind it would come out in the course of the season.<\/p>\n Quinto elaborated, \u201cI think, within the framework of that first episode, you have a big question that\u2019s presented, and then you start to get the glimpses of an answer at the end, which is this yo-yo of abandonment that he\u2019s dealt with since his childhood and has done so much work on himself to try to integrate and reconcile.\u201d<\/p>\n The Heroes alum was speaking about the disappearance of Mandy Patinkin\u2019s Noah Wolf, Oliver\u2019s father, who had returned in the Season 1 finale. Quinto noted how incidents like this have contributed to \u201cthis sense of emotional instability\u201d in Oliver, over which he has no control. He added that these incidents will accumulate to \u201cmaybe a bit more of a catastrophic event that leads Oliver to the situation that we find at the beginning of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n Grassi concurred, comparing Season 2\u2019s twists and turns to unraveling an onion. He continued, \u201cWe\u2019re really excited to explore this new world that Oliver finds himself in, and clearly is not happy to be there when we see him.\u201d<\/p>\n Brilliant Minds Season 2 airs on NBC weekly on Mondays.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Tamal Kundu on ComingSoon<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post What\u2019s up With Oliver in Brilliant Minds Season 2 Flash Forwards?<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Actor Zachary Quinto, who portrays Oliver Wolf in the NBC medical drama series Brilliant Minds, and showrunner and series creator Michael Grassi reflected on the mysterious flash-forward scenes in the Season 2 premiere.
